Fat Thursday, #420.

[cassiesmom]

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!

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.
