It's Pancake Time! Shrove Tuesday is Feb. 13

[Natalka]

Pancake Day happens on the day before Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of the Christian 40-day Lent season, running up to Easter.
The expression “Shrove Tuesday” comes from the word shrive, which means to confess and receive absolution.

Traditionally, Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day, was a day for using up food that couldn’t be eaten during Lent, which was a time for fasting. Since eggs and butter were always left over in the household, people decided to make pancakes for Tuesday so as not to waste them.

Damn! I made pancakes for breakfast today. Oh well, one can't have enough pancakes, right?

I thought this was simply a prep for Valentine's Day gluttony!

No rule against having pancakes more than once a week!

Thank-you, Natalka! Can always count on you. Was wondering today just what "Shrove" meant.
