Carnival of the Green #16

This week’s Carnival of the Green is hosted by The Naked Vegetarian, who has dedicated it to
the Spirit of New Orleans, home of the original “Carnival,” Mardi Gras. Tomorrow is “Fat Tuesday,” and so from all of us in the Carnival of the Green we wish the people of the Gulf Coast and disaster victims everywhere a greener, brighter new year.
