Confessing, Cleaning and Flipping Pancakes
Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, which ushers in the season of Lent, has traditionally been a day of preparation for the 40-day journey to the Easter. That preparation has included presenting one’s self to a priest to confess sins, also known as shriving, thus, the name for the day — Shrove Tuesday. It was also a time to clean out the pantry of flour, eggs, butter and sugar. And what better way to use all these items up than to make pancakes? Join me here at Old Stone Well Farm as we get ready for Lent together. And, yes, it involves pancakes!

Pancakes, yes! We had a pancake lunch today with 7 of our friends and a menu of blueberry pancakes, sausage, fruit, beignets, and King Cake. One among us is all things New Orleans.
Yum! I enjoyed the stories of pancakes in your video but I will not try flipping them. You did very well on that!

Yum, indeed! That lunch sounded wonderful. The history of Shrove Tuesday and its traditions is fascinating. I think, though, I need to work on my flipping skills. 😉
