Happy Pancake Day!

Are you wondering what to fix for dinner tonight? How about pancakes! Today is "Shrove Tuesday" which in the Episcopal tradition is commonly called Pancake Day. Traditionally pancakes are eaten on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. Pancakes are the food of choice, because they use a lot of milk, flour, fat and eggs, which are foods that were usually restricted during lent. Pancakes are a great way to use up all those ingredients, and get them out of the house! While it is true that these restrictions to not use eggs or milk are not exactly abided by anymore, pancakes are still a great thing to have for dinner. Invite your friends over, and have a Shrove Tuesday Pancake party. Delicious!
