Leaving crepes on a bureau all year sounds pretty disgusting to me, too. Thanks, Mel. Leaving crepes on a bureau all year sounds pretty disgusting to me, too.

Wed, 01 Mar 2006 19:21:46 +0000 http://sodsbrood.com/junk/2006/02/28/international-pancake-day/#comment-68 I knew I'd read something about pancakes that explained why. This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancake_Day" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia entry</a> is lengthy, but helped me remember that pancakes are made to use up stuff you can't use in Lent? Also, there's apparently a tradition of throwing crepes on a bureau, and leaving them up the entire year. Ick. Anyway, I can't find any reference to that easily. But yes, this brooder has a love for Dawn's chocolate chip and pecan pancakes. Sigh. I want pancakes. I knew I’d read something about pancakes that explained why.

But I have to get out for groceries first...bacon, tortillas, crushed tomatoes. So maybe I'll make them tonight IF I can get out first. Not sure on what pancakes may have to do with Mardi Gras...some floury connection to the paczkis that show up this time of year, perhaps?

It's authentic Mexican food, cooked by Hispanics and served by Hispanics. The fajitas are terrific. So is the salsa. I could make a meal of salsa and chips.

BTW, the local UCC church had a pancake dinner last night, so we did celebrate this deep and profound holiday. The cakes were not at all up to our discriminating taste however. No surprise there.

I'm sorry, but I thought they were absolutely disgusting. I will never order them again. By the way, I don't know the answer to my question and am too tired to Google it, in a futile attempt to look brilliant.

Eating is so much better than making them. Now, does anyone know why today is International Pancake Day? What do pancakes have to do with Mardi Gras? I’m with Todd on that one.
