Pancakes, Anyone?

Shrove Tuesday is kind of a day of foolishness and silliness. That's why a carnival makes sense, being silly and foolish before moving into the seriousness of Ash Wednesday. ~ Pat Eidsness

Growing up my family ALWAYS had pancakes for supper on this day. I never really understood it since Ash Wednesday was a day of fasting from meat too. We never had bacon with those pancakes, which would have really made it FAT Tuesday. Really, pancakes don’t seem too exciting or fattening. Having said that, as a kid, I knew that something special was happening even if I did not comprehend all the connections between pancakes and the Easter bunny. Call me nostalgic but tonight after a long day out of town, I came home and made pancakes.

I am not doing anything silly or foolish tonight (unless preparing my taxes counts) but if you are, enjoy every second of it before the seriousness of Lent begins.

Peace,
