Happy Fat Tuesday! E. .. Mimosa cake! ;) With best wishes to all women:)
Mardi Gras is a celebration of Catholic origin, which represents the end of the week seven days of fat (Carnival). This period during which we celebrate, before the Wednesday delle ceneri che segna l'inizio della Quaresima ed anche per questo che molte persone si recano in chiesa a confessarsi in questa giornata. Anche molte celebri sfilate di carnevale hanno luogo proprio il Martedì grasso. In Europa, il calo delle celebrazioni religiose d'astinenza durante la quaresima, ha fatto perdere alle celebrazioni quell'intensità tipica della religiosità, trasformandola in una festa sentita soprattutto dai più piccoli, coinvolgendo naturalmente anche il martedì grasso. La tradizione voleva infatti che in questa giornata venissero consumati tutti i cibi più
prelibati rimasti in casa, che durante la quaresima non potevano essere mangiati: carne, pesce, uova e latticini. And just for the fact that fatty foods were consumed in Italy was "Fat Tuesday" and France "Mardi Gras". In Sardinia, the Mardi Gras takes on a variety of names: a Mamoiada Martisero is called, is called a Ulassai Martisperri. An exception is the Carnival of Viareggio, Carnival Ovodda [1], the carnival and the carnival of Poggio Mirteto Borgosesia [unclear]. Exception also a major part of the diocese of Milan which follows the Ambrosian rite, according to which Lent begins on the following Sunday. So the festivities are postponed for four days, the Saturday before Lent carnival, or Ambrosian.
the United States, Mardi Gras is a festival very important and felt mainly in the city of New Orleans.
also in the States also celebrates Pancake Day (Pancake Day pancake), in which there is no real competition in schools and villages between families in which one component, must run with a frying pan within which there is a cold pancake. To win, while running, you must be able to turn the pancakes at least three times during the trip between the departure and arrival.
It seems that this tradition dates from the fifteenth century when a woman who was preparing pancakes for the celebration of Shrove Tuesday, he realized too late that the church bells were already ringing for confession. To save time and ended armed themselves of good will to prepare the pancakes on the road, running with her apron still worn.

Take the baked sponge cake and cut a slice of dark "cover". Dig lascindo 2 cm and remove the crumbs that will be used to imitate the mimosa. Wet the sponge with the pineapple juice in the jar, while the slices of pineapple cut into small pieces and put them in the custard.

Mardi Gras in FANO
Today at about 18.00, the baby Carnival 2011 was burnt down, marked the end of the carnival for this year
an absolutely original Fano Carnival is the characteristic "Pupo" it symbolizes the sacred animal on which the community unloaded the sins committed in the days License erotic carnival. The baby is known and called, with a confidential tone, "El Vulon" from the legend that "El Vulon" would be born with a statement that Napoleon Bonaparte during his campaign of conquest on Italian soil, at the sight of the city of Fano, stated, "Nous voulons ..." (pronounced "nu vulon"), intending to communicate to its employees the desire to conquer the city of Fano. Since that day, "El Vulon" has become synonymous with one who proves to be a boastful attitude, and that word is now part of common usage, to identify people moving smugly or who prance to put in the spotlight.
The bully has become the baby, the baby symbol of the Carnival, which is burned on Shrove Tuesday marks the end of the festivities for the immediate start of Lent.
