I want to smell dark matter
Remember when you were in primary school and you made pancakes in school and ate them and it was fun and different and maybe the world wasn't so horrible after all?
No, me neither.

WELL then!
um, Mardi Gras/ Fat Tuesday/ Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day is the feast before the fasting of Lent....that's all I got..
....it's Wiki time:
"The reason that pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent is that the 40 days of Lent form a period of liturgical fasting, during which only the plainest foodstuffs may be eaten. Therefore, rich ingredients such as eggs, milk, and sugar are disposed of immediately prior to the commencement of the fast. Pancakes and doughnuts were therefore an efficient way of using up these perishable goods, besides providing a minor celebratory feast prior to the fast itself ."
The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by confessing and doing penance. Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the shriving (confession) that Anglo-Saxon Christians were expected to receive immediately before Lent."
NOW YOU KNOW

Eggs Mayonnaise
All In With The Nuts
It is my solemn mission to make sure that eggs permeate EVERY. HOLIDAY. ON THE CALENDAR.
BTW, we didn't make pancakes during class, but we would help out in the kitchen and with serving refreshments during the monthly parish bingo games.
In class, we worked with the ingredients to pancakes, but it was usually to make paste for papier maché projects. WHICH DID NOT TASTE AS GOOD.
