It's Pancake Day! Hurray!!
(It's also my sister's birthday AND international women's day! Celebrations all round!)
I LOVE pancake day, mainly because I love pancakes! They are so simple but taste so so good. Especially with lemon, sugar, and chocolate chips mmmm, my favourite!
Shrove Tuesday is the last day before the beginning of lent in the Christian calendar, and pancakes were made to use up all the goodies left in the cupboards before the period of restraint to follow! This year for lent I am going to attempt to give up alcohol!
My reasoning behind this is that it will save me a lot of money and my liver will be my new best friend! There is also the cheeky added perk that if (when!) I do start drinking again I will have a much lower tolerance level (i.e. I will be a complete light-weight!) and therefore nights out will be a much cheaper experience!
I do feel like I should get drunk tonight whilst I eat my pancakes to use up all the alcohol left in my house to take away some of the temptation....maybe just one glass of wine?
It's going to be tough with so many excuses to crack open the wine coming up-friends birthdays, St. Patrick's day, the night before my skydive... Some willpower is required! Wish me luck!
And I wish you all a very happy and sunny Shrove Tuesday! Enjoy your pancakes!! xxx
