It's Pancake Day!

I wish cooking were that easy!

Its my favorite day! Pancake Day!
 
Did you have pancakes?
 
I'm still floored that at one point pancakes were a decadent feast. Shit, as I go for a meatless Lent menu I immediately go "well, I can do pancakes." It sucked to live in Olden Dayes.
 
They should have made you pancakes shaped like mice in exchange.
 
I had pancakes a few days ago not even realizing. A LITTLE VOICE JUST TOLD ME TO.
 
I demand a sitcom staring Peter Dinklage, living in some guy's kitchen cupboards:
"Hmmmm.... What do I want..."
[muffled voice] "Pancakes."
 
Dangit!
Snuck up on me!
 
You should have a "countdown to Pancake Day" calender that you rip one day off every day until it just says "IT'S PANCAKE DAY!"

1) Now I'm contemplating the parallels/differences between Advent/Christmas and Lent/Easter.
2) In the past I've [unsuccessfully] given up: alcohol, porn, for Lent. I decided it is easier to give up meat (in the Catholic fish doesn't count as meat sense) instead. That meant I wanted to polish off the last of the meat in the fridge before today--which meant 4 days in a row of mac & cheez with hammy bits for dinner. Today was gonna be PB&J for lunch with tuna casserole for dinner but I forgot and made tuna salad for lunch. So now I've gotta decide if I want to do tuna casserole anyway or do a cheese pizza.
3) As I mentioned upthread it still blows my mind that, in Olden Dayes pancakes were some kind of decadent feast that you had to eschew for Lent while I'm going "doesn't contain meat. Gonna be eating lots of them the next 40 days."
 
One year, around college age, I decided to give up Catholicism for Lent.

It stuck.

I still consider myself a Catholic even though I haven't been to Church in many many years. But I figured I'm not going to Church, why observe Lent.
