Pancake Day aka Shrove Tuesday

cheets · 23-02-2009, 13:44

So who is going to make a some pancake mix and pig out on pancakes.

My favourite filling is some sugar or jam.

Its also the start of Lent, anybody giving up anything.

I am giving up Alcohol its perfect timing as I will be able to start drinking on my birthday.

Quote:

Lent, in some Christian denominations, is the forty-day-long liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter.[1] The forty days represent the time Jesus spent in the desert, where according to the Bible he endured temptation by Satan.[2] Different churches calculate the forty days differently.

No idea how to make them, but I bet it's stupidly easy right?

We'll be having some tomorrow

Best one I had was a stall in Chelmsford. Cooked it fresh and put Maltesers in it

I think I'll just be having a touch of lemon and sugar tomorrow, although we do have some syrup and honey in the cupboard too.

You need some salt too, and add a some nutmeg or cinnamon. Once I've got the batter ready I melt some butter to pour in to add a bit of richness.

Alcohol is too easy to give up for me as I seldom drink. I don't know what I'd give up... chocolate maybe - that would make life hard!

The bacon must be cremated though (as always) and and and ommm nom nom nom nom nom nom nom!

Thing is, I went to buy Maple Syrup the other day and it was £5.30 for a small bottle
