Shrove Tuesday facts
Pancake day is Shrove Tuesday, the last day before Lent, when you finish up all the fat, eggs, and meat in the house in preparation for 40 days of self-denial, prayer and alms-giving before Easter. 40 days is the length of time Jesus was believed to have spent fasting in the desert before starting his ministry.
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Easter Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday is the last day of Lent
The timing of Lent is 40 days before Easter, and Easter's date is decided because of the appearance of the Passover Moon/Paschal Moon, the first full moon of the northern Spring. Easter is the first Sunday after the appearance of this full moon.
Anyway, bollocks to fasting and prayer but I might make pancakes. With cheesey prawns in.

Where's the option for "if Mr Paw manages to find some Betty Crocker's Just Add Water Pancake Mix on his way home in Brum tonight"? 
Wookey
Muppet is not a slur
And all this bollocks about us being a generation who don't know how to cook, I was the shops the other day and there was a lady of a certain age there (in her 60s I'd say) and she'd just seen these prepared pancake mixes in a bottle (just add water) and she's like: 'Ooh, look at that Connie, just add water and shake! That's clever! I'll have two of them....!'
And I thought yeah love, and televisions, and plastic-covered furniture, and annual holidays, and little run-arounds, and pre-grated cheese - your generation started it all off, didn't you? You lazy, short-sighted, face-feeding, selfish old bag, shake that fucking pancake mix and give yourself a fucking coronary while the world burns, why don't you??
Everyone else having lemon and sugar on theirs? That's what Jeebus had.

My mix is made and in the fridge ready for tonight. I think it improves in the fridge a bit like yorkie pud mix

my housemate has informed me that he is making pancakes for all of us, as the only british member of the household he feels it is his duty to provide proper british pancakes.his french girlfriend disagrees and is making us all crepe pancakes to show him how they should be. i am happy to be fed pancakes of either variety tbh. our kitchen is going to be a tip though, as feyr jnr and feyrette are assisting. the twins and me are keeping out of it, as impartial judges, and feyror is far too busy sleeping to be bothered with such trivial matters

I didn't know what toppings to get, so I whittled it down to two classics. Chocolate spread and Maple syrup.
I couldn't decide between them, so I bought them both.
nomnomnomnom.
Off to make my batter in a minute.

But there is no difference between French and English pancakes.
Oh god I'm getting a trauma flashback of a summer job as 'crepe maker' on a french campsite now.

I don't have eggs or flour in the house. While I can use up a pack of eggs easily enough (I don't usually have them in the house) even with a small pack of flour half of it'll go to waste because I won't use it again.
Anyway, what's the big deal if someone chooses a packet of something over making it from scratch? Even if it doesn't take a long time? I know how to make pancakes. I've made them for several years in a row. Can't a person choose to do something in a different way? Why does that make them a bad person?
Sometimes I really can't be fucked with more than twisting off a lid. Such is my woeful life.

So, does the batter need to go in the fridge for an hour first, or what?

What a great rant! Love it....
Lemon, sugar, eggs, flour and milk. Sorted.
This ready-made world bugs the hell out of me....

because this is the suburban forum. and if someone says they make something from a jar or a packet, or buy frozen chips or yorkshire puds or something or other, there'll always be someone to ask "but why don't you just make your own from scratch?"

Fucking TV bastards publicising it. My b/f's just said "oh, what's this on my notepad"
I had a look, and it's pancake recipe.
I think that's one massive hint that he'd like pancakes tonight. As if I don't have enough to do

Do I have to bother with real food tonight now?
I have already eaten two 'test' pancakes.

carrying on from that, when i said to her we might have them at the weekend instead of tonight she said "but you ALWAYS say that and we never end up having them", to which i told her that she was a fucking liar, and that was only last year and that we had them the year before. "no we never" she whined" - but we did. we sooo did. i remember stuffing my face full of black cherry pie filling, chocolate sauce and cream filled ones. and i have just done a thorough search of pancake related threads on urban from previous years which show that in 2006 and i did indeed go out and buy loads of fillings on pancake day and the missus cooked us pork chops and veg for tea before we stuffed our fat fucking faces with fucking pancakes. so the teenager is a fucking liar and now i know that for sure she is grounded and banned from having pancakes for 8 years.
