Ask HN: Anyone celebrating Fat Tuesday today?

Fettisdagen means semlor in Sweden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semla

Oh, so THAT is why there was no traffic this morning in and around New Orleans burbs which I was dreading. I forgot about Mardi Gras.

Most locals go MIA during parades. Absolutely not worth driving anywhere today!

I live in New Orleans, but work remote for a company in New York. They have no idea what Mardi Gras is… President’s Day saved Lundi Gras for me at least!

I ate an entire pizza pie (new parmesan pizza) from Papa John's.. does that count? Okay.. tbh, I ate half the pie. I couldn't eat the entire thing... stomach doesn't allow for it anymore, but I'll be eating the rest today! (Wednesday)

What is Fat Tuesday? I've seen the cocktail place of the same name in Vegas.

Today is Pancake Tuesday to me.
