    Fat Thursday, #420.

    Hi guys, I remembered to open the bar today and thought since it was Shrove Tuesday (who makes up these names anyway?) we could do a whole week of pancakes, waffles and breakfast food!


    DONE?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    Pancakes with real maple syrup, please! (Not that any other kind is ever permissible here, but I hear other parts of the country actually consume that fake stuff ...)

    In fact, I'll staff the griddle, I don't quite trust the Orc with a ladle and batter ... I'm making some little "silver dollar" sized ones for me, but can make bigger ones if folks prefer ...

    OMG I have to laugh. Fat??? All I need to do is look in the mirror.

    I've been very seriously dieting since coming back from vacation. All I crave is a big juicy hamburger - you know, the kind where the juice runs down your arm??? Yes, please with everything including dill pickle. Mmmmm, I can just taste it now. OK, so this is not breakfast food, but who makes up the rules on what you can eat for breakfast????

    Canadian bacon anyone??

    Oh yes... **plunk**** here's a couple of bottle of my home made Baileys for the coffee.

    Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the ritual of shriving, when the faithful confessed their sins to the local priest and received forgiveness before the Lenten season began.

    As far back as 1000 AD, "to shrive" meant to hear confessions. (Trivia note: the term survives today in the expression "short shrift" or giving little attention to anyone's explanations or excuses.)

    Hurray! I like to eat breakfast for supper! Could I please have decaf coffee? I've brought bagels.

    Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday, is also known as Fastnacht (donut) Day in the Pennsylvania Dutch areas of this country. My former MIL was a native of PA and always made a lot of PA Dutch food, and on Fastnacht Day, always deep fried donuts in keeping with tradition. Dunkin Donuts - eat your heart out!

    Wafflewafflewaffle! With an egg and veggie bacon. And syrup. And a cappucino. And a parrot to share it with (not the cappucino, tho).

    good morning everyone and happy Friday. So happy today because there are two doggies upstairs and I can take them for a walk at lunchtime.

    Still on this silly diet but hey, in this bar the calories don't count so please give me a big 'ol plate of pancakes loaded to the top with melted butter and maple syrup. Also a side of canadian bacon and some a couple of scrambled eggs should fill me up. **burp**

    Richard, you are on my mind daily.... (gosh, people must think we have a love affair...oh that reminds me of your thread on 10 sec affairs... )

    'Xcuse me while I get back to w-u-r-k.

    I am doing AOK and will drop off PT for a few weeks while I set me sails for new horizons.

    I am busy as all get out and thank you all for all your kind thoughts, support and well wishes.

    I can and will survive!

    I have to, Ed depends on me.

    With that?

    Someone is having a b-day this week!
