Shrove Tuesday (and Lent)

Yay, it's Pancake Day!

Will you be having pancakes tonight? What do you like to have with your pancakes? Have you ever had anything strange on them or had a complete disaster when making them? Do share!!

When I was in Student Halls, we weren't particularly prepared for pancake day, so we raided the cupboards for things to have with them! One I would certainly not recommend is pancakes with Mint Sauce!

As this will be the last day before Lent, will you be giving anything up? If so, what?

I think I am going to give up Burger King and McDanolds this year. I try every year to use Lent to give up something that is bad for me, but I am not really religous so I forget about Lent unless someone reminds me. So thank you for reminding me!

OOh is that today?! I always forget because Im not at my Mums now and she's not there to remind me!
We always had lemon juice and sugar. MmmmMMMMmmmmm however I will probably not be having them tonight I think Ill go and have a run instead!

I suppose Lent is a good way to give up some bad foods!!

I've never really done anything for Lent! I just enjoy Shrove Tuesday!! Any excuse for a whole meal of pancakes!!

Lauren, don't be a spoil sport! You had better get mixing that batter when you get home!! You just can't not have pancakes today!!

No i'm not having any because they'll stick to my hips!!

Oh but i remember having them with golden syrup on

And i'm not really eating chocolate at the moment so can i give that up?. Well it's either that or my wine

i'll be having pancakes with raspberry jam on yummy!! oh wait I think i've used all the jam!!

I'll have to get some more.

When i went to school we all got a pancake each for lunch! (all girls catholic school and a catholic primary school) when i think of it now ooo yay!!! i miss it

Susan you can have little pancakes they wotn stick to your hips if you walk an extra 10 minutes tonight!

Fran those little pancakes will end up looking like a little hill on my plate if i make them

They won't stick that hard, Susan! They're more likely to stick to the ceiling!

Oh you can definitely give up chocolate!! Imagine trying to go that whole time without your tipple?!!!

Mmmm, Claire, I forgot about Jam!! I have to get to the shops before tea time!!

I just love jam on pancakes.

Mine did actually end up on the ceiling last year,

the cats just looked at me like.... mummys gone mad!!

You really are making me want to get tea started (really) early!! I definitely need to get the jam soon, as there's nothing better than hot pancakes with cold jam!!

I can imagine they did!! We must look so odd to theem when we're flailing around trying to toss the pancakes and laughing so hard when they go wrong!!

Do cats like pancakes?

I bet my Phenom would. She like anyhting we eat that she isn't alowed to have!

My Disco (RB) loved pancakes and Scotch Pancakes!

I'm sure my three would love them, they just tend to evade the kitchen when I start tossing them!

My oldest, Katie, is terrible about trying to lick the plate when I have pancakes. She goes crazy over the butter and syrup!

About half of my co-workers (including my boss) are polish, so we won't be having pancakes but paczki...

Christy, that's really interesting! I had forgotten about that - even though I have Polish friends!

As I already have my pancakes planned for tonight, I have bookmarked the recipe and will definitely be giving them a go sometime!!

I REALLY want my pancakes now! I really fancy some!

I could demolish 3 right now if i let myself I'm so pleased weve got Weight Watchers advertising at the top
