Happy Pancake Day
mes amis!
After my initial thought that Pancake Day was last Monday (don't ask me why), I made sure that mother purchased some pre-made crêpes for us to gorge on. Unfortunately, midway through cooking my second crêpe, it dawned on me I was a tad early on the matter.
So today I made the effort to make some pancakes from scratch. Four misshapen spoldges later, I have come to the conclusion that Delia Smith lies in her recipes & that shop-bought crêpes are so the way forward!
Lent begins tomorrow! Not normally a partaker, however, I thought I'd try to comply. My first idea of attempting to try to give up chocolate for the duration has been thrown out for its sheer lunacy. As if I could make three days without chocolate, let alone six weeks! So I have now decided to simply continue with my avoidance of Coke! Simples.
UPDATE: So, I still clearly haven't got the hang of this whole thing, as Pancake Day is TODAY! Seriously, when am I going to remember SHROVE TUESDAY. TUESDAY damn it!!! To be honest, I think I'm a bit done with the whole pancake thing now. But Happy Pancake Day to everyone else who hasn't already been gorging & making themselves feel sick. Yay!

Pancake day is Tuesday the 8th (Shrove Tuesday) and Lent starts on Wednesday the 9th (Ash Wednesday). Think you might have jumped the gun again :S

ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous, thank you. I think you are quite right & I am a moron! I think I'll give up on the whole Pancake idea now.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, Jillian the nutella crêpes they serve in Paris are delish! Although, they always put a bit too much in & then you end up with chocolate hands. Not so good me thinks.
