Today is Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting, and the first day of the 40 days of Lent. Some Christians traditionally give up a habit or food during this time. For those who have given up dessert, chocolate or sugar for their Lenten tradition, don't forget that Sundays are your "free" days.
That's when you can have some gourmet brownies from Fairytale Brownies. I would suggest the Magic Morsels. They are bite-sized and will satisfy your dark chocolate craving without totally blowing the whole purpose of sacrifice during this season.
When I was growing up, I never was told about Sundays not being a part of Lent. Imagine my doubt when I learned about it as an adult! This is how it was explained to me: There are 40 days of Lent to reminds us of Jesus' 40 days in the desert and the 40 years that the Israelites spent in the desert before getting to the promised land. Six weeks of Monday - Saturday makes 36 days. Add Ash Wednesday and the 3 days after it and you get 40 days. Sundays don't count.
So stock up on fudge brownies. Sunday's coming...
