I’m so happy you liked it!

Haps, it’s always a pleasure!

Ellington if you gave up chocolate, you can still have waffles or pancakes, right? I can hardly give up anything with the kids around… ;)

Adriana, you should tip us (and by that I mean mostly me, myself and I) on some yummy pancakes! I’m more on the classic sweet side, I haven’t really tried anything revolutionary with the pancakes, but I’m always willing to experiment!
… oh, and that Rodarte-like sweater? I’d really try that! But I haven’t crocheted in a looong time!

Ah, I see like the Roman Catholics has Ash Wednesday, which was last Wedneday here. Anglican is the English Church? Reformed in the days of Henry VIII when they separated from Rome?
R.C. Lent ends on Easter Sunday too. In 40 days its Easter? Good grief……

Dutch pancakes are something between the thicker American ones and the French crêpes. And we have very, very small “pancakes” named poffertjes. Hard to make. A Dutch specialty with lots off butter on it with powder sugar…oh so yummy….I’m a great pancake maker though. I’ve ate that a lot in poor times. For dinner. So I’ve learned to make lots off varieties.

Ehh, well have a good Lent.

Shrove Tuesday is the holy holiday before the beginning of the holy season of Lent. Shrove means to obtain penance for your sins. Pancakes are eaten because one traditionally abstains from eating eggs and fat, so these ingredients would be used up by making pancakes! I am Anglican so for Lent I traditionally give up something I really like for 40 days (the length of Lent). I am giving up chocolate in all forms. Lent ends on Easter Sunday. But like I said pancakes and waffles are great anytime,especially with Maple Syrup (which is very Canadian! ) : )

Same here: great blog around.
Compliments to Sal, deka and Hapsical!!! I’d visit these blogs frequently. Loves what these ladies do. Great choices Kpriss.

Girls if you’re able to knit: a kind of Rodarte-like-sweater is as easy and quick as to make great waffles or pancakes. Its a piece of pancake unless you can’t cook at all, I know people who can’t cook an egg you see…..loves that pancake maker too.

Ellington, what is Shrove Tuesday and why do they eat pancakes/waffles then?
