Shrove Tuesday

So I was sitting at my desk on tuesday morning and I was thinking oh today is Shrove tuesday. I am not going to get to have pancakes. Then I decided to e-mail Heidi who is upstairs at her desk and ask her if she wants to have pancakes for lunch since it is Shrove tuesday. She says yes. She asks more about Shrove tuesday most people in the office had no idea what I was talking about. She happened to kind of know because she had heard it somewhere recently. I did some research on Shrove tuesday and figured out it was originally a British thing which explains why Canadians do it but Americans do not.

So we had lunch and enjoyed some yummy food. We had delicious pancakes made by a combined effort. Heidi mixed the batter and I cooked them. We also had some very good fried potatoes/hashbrowns that I made. Of course we had bacon and I would have to say Heidi is the best bacon cooker around it was so delicious.

Here are some pictures below so you get the idea. Unfortunately they aren't taken by me. Right after we had finished eating and were cleaning up I was like shoot I should of brought my camera so I could of blogged about it. Next time I will try not to forget it.




Have a great day.
