Morning all. Helps to be in the UK for this thread!
We cook every night. Very occasionally we'll get a Chinese takeaway.
I'll skip the High School question- mine was founded in 1550 so Mascots weren't really the thing.
I had a house alarm system but had it removed after too many false alarms. The current cars are fine.
Not been to a Mardi Gras celebration- don't like crowds, but used to visit New Orleans when I lived in Texas. Loved the history and architecture there.

Of course this was 8 pm and I saw a few lights in the houses across the street go on

Just for Fun:
Have any of our QOTD family ever been to a Mardi Gras celebration ? School Mardi Gras celebrations - that's originally a very old French tradition (hence its name!).
French blah-blah: In our equivalent of pre-school/kindergarten (which is a regular school you attend when you're between 3 and 6 years old), it's always celebrated. Kids are in disguise, and moms who can be there volunteer and prepare pancakes and other good things while the kids play. Mom always came and made "oreillettes", a yummy kind of donut. Then you go to primary school, and you never really celebrate Mardi Gras again, except in your parents' kitchen ... but some people (usually young adults) will organize Mardi Gras parties.
Anyone celebrated in New Orleans ? No
