Newsbites, 2/11/13

A scattering of good news from around the world today.

Rome:  Pope Benedict Resigns.



Washington:  Panetta Extends Military Benefits to Gay Spouses.

Denver:  Colorado Senate Passes Civil Unions Bill.

Texas:  The Pork Boys Do Mardi Gras.

This past weekend, with soupe a l'oignon, Porkchops Jambalaya, fried biscuits, King Cake, and quite a few other delectable delights. Now that M.P. has had his computer overhauled and added several terrabites of memory, I hope he'll be able to send me a pic or two of the beautifully set Mardi Gras table he laid, and I'll post those along with a complete menu later in the week.

For those of you unlucky enough, alas, to have no Cajun friends who know how to party: How to make perfect Shrove Tuesday pancakes.

And the question remains... WHY? Why did the Pope retire? Maybe the Catholic church is looking to reinvent itself and become inclusive, rather than divisive? Aww... let gay man dream. - Uptonking from Wonderland Burlesque

Shrove Tuesday will be celebrated in this part of Spain with Pancakes flambed in a variety of alcohlic liquers. And whatever the recipe, they will not be flacid! Not in this gay guy's kitchen! ;)

UK - dream on, but don't bet on it.

Tim - sounds fabulous! But no parade?
