Just smiling here. The only time my SIL had ever eaten pancakes was on Shrove Tuesday. I know it's traditional, but if I am going to fast for lent, the last thing I want to eat going into a fast is pancakes. I want greasy meat, thank you very much. LOL.

Yep, on the downhill slide to Easter. Amazing. It's certainly going to be early this year.

I'mm eating pancakes...not fasting for Lent:) But if I was, I'm with you Suzy, it'd be sausages!

Well yesterday it was king cake here. But those pancakes remind me of when I was a kid & every year at Shrove Tuesday there would be a big pancake supper at church.

No fasting for Suzy or Shelia, but is anyone else giving up anything for Lent?

I haven't decided yet if I'm fasting and abstaining this year Andie. Since I haven't eaten anything yet, the option is still open. I meant before a fast, I don't want a bunch of meatless carbs and treacle. I want the motherload meal. And last night, I got it. Even the hashed browns were fried in porkchop grease. rofl.

Suzy, have you ever fried up potatoes in duck or goose fat? With your English b.g. most likely you have. The best fried potatoes you will ever, ever taste.
