Happy Pancake day!!!

[Ranna]

IS everyone going to be having pancakes????? And what is people giving up for lent?

I dont have time for pancakes this year :smallfrown: but i am giving up cheese and butter for lent!

[Castaras]

I'm probably going to give up what I always give up at this time of year.

I'm giving up giving up for Lent. :smallbiggrin:

[Skippy]

I have no idea what are you talking about, since I am not from a country that has a Pancake Day, though it sounds amazing. What is Pancake Day?

[Telonius]

Pancakes on Mardi Gras isn't a tradition here.

[Tempest Fennac]

I'm not Christian, so I don't follow it (I also hate the idea of giving up things unless it has an actual benefit for me). I hate pancakes anyway (I really like golden syrup, though).

[Ranna]

I'm giving up giving up for Lent. :smallbiggrin:

ah same as my boyfriend then, he also has new years resolutions to not have new years resolutions

and pancake day is my favorite holiday, u just eat alot of pancakes though it isnt as exciting as mardi gras but mardi gras = fat tuesday and pancake day is all about using the last reserves of fat and flour in your pantry for the supposed fasting period that is lent (according to religion, i think some could probably give a better explaination)

I aint religious either i just do it for the challenge...last year i gave up all dairy, no chocolate, no cake no cereal ooo it was fun and i dont know how people who never eat dairy do it phew!!!

[Emrylon]

Woo Pancake day!

For those who don't know its not very complicated, its basicly a day where a lot of people eat pancakes. I may be wrong but I think its a sort of pre lent thing where people said to use the spare flour, eggs, milk and sugar so they wouldn't have them over lent

[hippie_dwarf]

Pancakes with sugar and lemon juice, can't be beaten (well it can but then you'd end up with a mashed, ruined pancake and where's the fun in that :smallbiggrin: ). WOO PANCAKES!

[Archonic Energy]

I'm giving up giving up for Lent. :smallbiggrin:

i'm giving up Drinking, Smoking,& Driving for lent :smallwink:

[Dallas-Dakota]

I <3 Pancakes.
Every saturday is pancake day. If saterday isnt pancake day, sunday is.

I <3 Pancakes.

[Kaelaroth]

Yaay! Pancake Day! I'm having mine with honey, insta-milkshake powder, lemon, sugar and banana! Yum!

Not sure about what to give up stuff for Lent. Not a Christian, but still considering it.

[Lady Tialait]

Yay pancake day!...*gets herself sick on pancakes* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

um...as for lent...i don't worry aobut such things, but heck I have been bord with life latly. Might as well complicate it...um...i'll give up....anything I don't grow myself, and Hops (I have alot of stuff from this summer that I grew, but I don't like cooking it...and I drink beer with lunch and dinner...so...that will be a little bit tough to give up)

[Mc. Lovin']

Does it have to be giving up? D:
I ... uh ... will give up not going on walks?

[Alarra]

It's pancake day? I never knew this....I love pancakes. *considers getting pancakes*

[Dihan]

Eww pancakes. No thanks.

[Dallas-Dakota]

It has nothing to do with giving things up!:smalleek:

It is all about letting yourself go and eating as many pancakes as you can! And if possible bake them yourself!

Gah:smalleek: You pancake-not liker.
I banish thou! I banish thou to the seven hells, I slice and dice your body into pieces which are no larger then your d20, I shall ressurect thou a million, no scratch that, a zillion times and kill you each time painfully!:smallfurious: :smallfurious: :smallfurious: :smallfurious:

[Lady Tialait]

YAY my hubby just said 'We are going to IHOP' all you can eat Pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*jumps around loving it*
Wait...bake pancakes?...I always panfry pancakes...

[Dallas-Dakota]

Ehm panfry? What does Panfry mean? My english is not sufficient enough to know that word, and wikipedia does not have an article about it.......

[H. Zee]

I've just eaten 4 pancakes and I'm about ready to explode now, thanks. :smallsmile:

Even though I'm not a Christian, I always give things up for Lent because I enjoy the challenge - it's like a test of self-control. This year I'm giving up all kinds of chocolate and all kinds of sweets.

[Kaelaroth]

Ehm panfry? What does Panfry mean? My english is not sufficient enough to know that word, and wikipedia does not have an article about it.......

Typical English-style pancakes involve making a light batter, sticking in a wide pan, and frying it quickly, making sure to toss it over, so it has a crisp, even texture.

[LightWraith]

^Bah, my first simu-post.

Panfry would be to fry in a pan. We Americans like to crush poor words together if at all possible :)

Also... pancake day... It's been a while, and they would be delicious. Might have to see if I can make that happen.

I never give anything up for Lent.. I just give stuff up in order to improve my health/life. I've quit drinking alcohol or any kind of soda, along with caffeine. If I could stay away from sweet stuff I'd be doing great.

[Lady Tialait]

Indeed I love crushing the poor little words till they squeel. and as soon as my husband gets his mother ready (she is blind and cannot walk or do pretty much anything by herself) we are going to eat pancakes till we pop..YAAAY...three cheers for pancakes!

[SweetLikeLemons]

So how do you make you make pancakes, Dallas-Dakota? If you have to bake them, I imagine they come out quite different from what I think of when you say pancakes.

And sugar and lemon juice on pancakes? That is intriguing. I like maple syrup, but that much sweetness makes me sick if I eat more than a couple pancake's worth.

My favorite way to eat pancakes is with blueberries in them. Yum. I'd never heard of Pancake Day until today, but it sounds like a tradition I would gladly adopt. Perhaps I will dig the last of my wild blueberries out of the freezer and celebrate with you.

[Telonius]

I'm pretty sure the Germans are the world champions at putting words together (Weltmeisterwoerterzusammenbringer).

[Raider]

.........I ate waffles actually. I didn't know!

O and I will probably give up chicken for lent

[Admiral Squish]

Powdered sugar, brown sugar, or syrup, all are amazing on pancake day!

Do dutchbabies count for this holiday?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Actually the meaning of panfrying is the same as baking for me, only baking takes a bit longer...

[Sleet]

It's pancake day??? Jumpin' Jimminy Christmas! Why was I not informed of this earlier?!!

I must make my world-famous from-scratch gingerbread flapjacks for dinner tonight.

And I'm not giving up anything for Lent, but I wish those who will the best in their observance. :smallsmile:

[Rockphed]

I know not this Pancake day. It is Paczki day. Now, get ye down to ye polish bakery and eat a fruit filled, deep fried, relative of the donut!

[Ranna]

My friend came round and made me pancakes whilst i was working...love my friend yay had pancakes even though i didnt think i was going to get time too

And i had sugar and lemon on them just like the old days

yum yum yum

[Pagz]

Yay, Its pancake day! (although knowing me, I won't actually have any pancakes)

Hmm... However, Lent is something I also forgot about. What should I give up? I have absolutely no clue... maybe instead of giving up something, I should do something for lent instead? I think I'd feel better that way.

[PlatinumJester]

The best holidays are the always the ones that involve food and/or presents.

[Alarra]

Milk and sugar on pancakes is very tasty.

[Emrylon]

I had good old Lemon juice and sugar on my pancaks today, very nice.

I'm going to try and give up as much unhealthy food as I can for lent.

[Dihan]

Eww pancakes. No thanks.

You'll have to catch me first! *cue Benny Hill theme*

You'll never take me alive!

[Pyro]

Mmmmmm pancakes.

I had pancakes last night with chocolate chips. Yummy...

[BizzaroStormy]

I'm not giving up squat, screw the holidays.

My school actually served pancakes...sort of.

Its like a corndog only the dog is replaced with sausage and its dipped in pancake batter.

[ForzaFiori]

*gasp!*

alas, i did not know it was pancake day :smallfrown:

and as i'm not a Christian (and have no self control) i wont be giving up anything for lent.

[Admiral Squish]

I'd like to direct your collective attention here (http://www.knight-rider.org/anderson/pancake_bunny.jpg).

[EmeraldRose]

*looks around the thread for pancakes*

I don't see any...did everyone eat them all?

I have not really been keeping track of when stuff is coming up, and forgot about this one...

[Charity]

i'm giving up Drinking, Smoking,& Driving for lent :smallwink:

I'm giving up on doing all three at once, does that count?

I only got one pancake this year :smallfrown:
As I am not religious however I think I'll have a shrove Wednesday as well... perhaps a shrove thursday might go down well.

[smellie_hippie]

Those who have no taste for pancakes, please pass them my way.

[Zombie pixe]

whooooo for the pancakes :smallsmile: :smallcool:

[Mad Scientist]

Although I was raised Catholic, we never observed Lent.
I have never heard of pancake day, but it sounds tasty. Would someone be willing to share their recipe?

[Omicroncubed]

Pancake day? Nope, not a tradition out here. Although we DID make buns and put strawberry jam and cream in the middle of them.

And it was also J.L. Runeberg day as well.

Also pancakes are delicious :smallbiggrin:
