Pancake Day

[ScarletBea]

I might be in trouble with my mother - I sent my dad an email asking if she was going to be making him pancakes for tea. He replied a little later... "she is now"8)

hehehehe

Ok, I'll try on the weekend.

(I should be home today. In Portugal it's a public holiday *grumble grumble*)

electric hobs are the work of satan but electric ovens are just soooooooooooooo good!

Yay, the boyfriend has undertaken the horrors of morrisons for me so I don't have to go into town after work. I'm not sure how many pancakes I'm going to eat as he's just bought 12 eggs!

[fruityjug]

twelve...

[sophster]

It is quite a lot isn't it. I think I'll be making lots of cakes and eating omlettes for a while.

our hens give two eggs a day and that's too many for us... I used to add an egg to the dogs' food a couple of days a week but now the vet says I should scramble them - should I add cream I wonder?

[sophster]

Mmmm I like scrambled eggs. The pub down the road does smoked salmon on toast all day brunch which is a nice alternative to traditional enormo lunch. I've never added cream to scrambled eggs but my dad and my sister love scrambled eggs with matzos crushed and all mixed up with it.

Enjoy your pancakes everyone.

I might get pancakes twice tonight. Round at a friends and then home for late night pancakes

so should I do smoked salmon on toast for the dogs, sophster?

We just had our pancakes. Yum :)

I did not celebrate pancake day, on account of the Russians not having the faintest clue what it is.

However, this is more than compensated by the presence, approximately 50 yards from the entrance to my university, of the World's Best Pancake Cafe. It serves pancakes, and that's it. Drinks, of couse, but otherwise just pancakes, with loads of different fillings and stuff. And it's dirt cheap - I stuffed myself there earlier this week and paid under £3 for the privilege. It's so good I know people in Moscow who come up here just to go there (slight exaggeration - they come up for the cheap beer as well).

I just went to print that and in the the meantime found another 2 recipes for me to try
(don't want to print lots for starters hehe)

an entire day set aside to worship the pancake!

Our Corporate brethren have been slow off the mark .. where's Big Mac Day .. or Ben and Jerry's Day?

Those holidays have sadly fallen into disuse, mijj, along with Stopping For Red LIghts At Intersections Day and Reading Other People's Mail Day.
