Anyone else doing anything like this? And, please, no comments about Lent or why it's stupid to give something up or anything like that, please and thank you. This is the food forum, peeps. Let's talk food.

Ugh. Forgot tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. Hmmm...how's about I do fried foods with you? I've already all but given up fast food. It's either that or alcohol. I haven't been drinking much lately, and to be honest I much prefer fried food to alcohol, so the fried food is the bigger sacrifice.
Just make sure you have lots of TP on hand for tomorrow.
Last hurrahs on fried foods never end well.
By the way, I think the reason why you are doing this is awesome. Reminds me of joke.
Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But, all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic....And since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday. The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest. The Priest came to visit Bubba, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass.....and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, "You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic." Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood again. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors, and, as he rushed into Bubba's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and was chanting... "You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you is a catfish."
that explains all the adverts i've been seeing for McD & Wendys fish filets.................
Yes, sir. I was laughing about that today. Wendy's new "ultimate" fish sandwich or whatever they're calling it. It's for a limited time only. I was thinking yeah...for the next 40 days or so, right?

Just don't know if I could do that.
SURE!
I was gonna do alcohol, but between Paddy's Day, the 15th anniversary of my 21st birthday and my sis and cuz coming into to town ... well, just didn't seem like a feasible option.

LOL. There are many things you can eat that are not animal based. Pasta, soy, eggs, etc. Veggie products have come a long way in the past 10 years or so. You might be pleaseantly surprised (or just surprised, lol).

yeah, so I had onion rings last night. I suck.
(quoting myself just for you, Wendy!)
So, I've decided on a different tactic. Those of you closest to me won't believe I can do this...but I'm giving up salting my food. I'll use it if it's required in a recipe or something, but the salt shaker shall not sprinkle its salty goodness on my food for the next 39 days...
