I’m Orthodox Christian, so I have until March 2 for “Cheesefare Sunday” and March 9 for “Meatfare Sunday”. So I’ll be enjoying all the fried fish sandwiches and pieroghies with all the Roman Catholics around here. I’m also excited about Chinese New Year and all the special foods the local Chinese restaurants prepare for it.
That reminds me...(For us ‘Mericans)
Sunday is Super Bowl XLII. What do you folks like doing for Super Bowl Sunday? And snugs, any English equivalent you’d like to mention to us—such as the World Cup or UEFA—that would be much appreciated. :)
When I was a Catholic, a long time ago and far away, yes I certainly gave things up for Lent (usually desserts) but when I became Lutheran, no more. My mom still gives up all sweets for Lent every year.
And I like my pancakes with a bit more substance. I make mine with sour cream. And then only have them slathered in real butter and maple syrup! YUMMERS!!
I went to Little Chef when I was in England staying with friends. They really wanted to show me LC as it was one of their favorite spots. We went to 3 of them who were out of this and that and the other (”sorry. That’s off.” LOL LOL Took me awhile to understand THAT phrase!) After the 3rd try, I started to call it the Little Chef of Naught! LOL I still laugh about it and Dave and Jen think it so bizarre and NOT funny that the day they tried to show me their favorite place, it was all OFF!! LOL Dave says ‘honestly! The only time I’ve ever run into trouble like that at LC was the day we tried to take you there!’ LOL
Your pancakes look similar to those that my mom makes. She doesn't make them that big in diameter, but they are thin. They don't taste greasy, but sometimes they feel a little slick against the fingers. We typically eat them in a stack with syrup as anyone else eating pancakes over here does. The only difference is that we need more pancakes to make a stack.
