I've never observed Lent traditionally. This will be my first real year in doing so. We will be giving up meat. This is going to be hard. I pray I have the grace to remember at all times what my little sacrifice represents.
OTOH, I briefly considered giving up rutabagas, but that didn't go over so well with the better half.

Yesterday, Collop Monday, we had eggs and bacon. Today, Shrove Tuesday, we have lots of pancakes. Hmm. Hmm.
Getting ready to be shriven.

The custom of making pancakes comes from the need to use up fat, eggs and dairy before the fasting and abstinence of Lent beginsI'd never head of that before I came up North and our Parish began alternating hosting a Shrove Tuesday Dinner with a local Episcopal church. I'd always attended Mardi Gras in New Orleans, since we lived two hours from the city, but I'd never heard of the using up the eggs, oil and dairy products thing. We ate a lot of pancakes and dairy products during Lent, when I was growing up, because we didn't eat Meat on Fridays!
We had the Shrove Dinner last night at our Parish; Pancakes and Sausage or Jambalaya. It was VEY good!

I never heard it called "Shrove Tuesday" until we moved to MA, and that was where I first learned about the pancake thing. It was always just Mardi Gras, when, growing up in MS, my Aunt used to take my sister and me along with her 7 kids to New Orleans every year. When we were younger, we'd go on Sunday, but when we were in high school, we started going on Fat Tuesday.
I think the first Mardi Gras parade in the US was held in Mobile, AL.
