It's a tradition instilled in me while in seminary as a way to celebrate Mardi Gras and the coming of Ash Wednesday and Lent (back in the day folks had to get rid of things in their pantry like flour and eggs before Lent...so why not have pancakes?)
In keeping with tradition I whipped up a few of my own pancakes (with chocolate chips nonetheless!) this morning.
A very Happy Shrove/Pancake/Fat Tuesday to you and yours!
They look delicious! Now i've got to find some in the hospital cafeteria - maybe lunch today!
