Since I totally forgot to wish all the ladies in the ng a happy Valentine's Day
(apologies, ladies), it seemed a good idea to remind you all to feast on
pancakes tonight. You're all going to cut right back then until Easter, aren't
you? ;-)

Reminds me of a recent conversation at the house...

Wife to kids while almost out of earshot... "We're giving up cheezits for Lent."
Me "What do you mean you're giving up Jesus for Lent?"

Granted, my tasks for the year include.
1) Seeing if the idea of a matzoh meal cream cheese poundcake is actually
workable...
2) Figuring out how to get the kids to eat lamb...

Well, Dave, we knew you were thinking of us with all your great big
chivalrous heart!

Chris, use the matzo meal to make matzo balls. Chicken soup-can't hurt,
might help, y'know. (Eeeyuuuuuuuu! Matzo meal pound cake............)

Well, they make a matzoh meal for cakes.
And there are recipes for matzoh meal sponge cakes.
And a group of new yorkers were very proud to have come up with
a matzoh meal poundcake for passover.

I figure it might work... the whole wheat poundcake worked...

Can someone tell me what this 'pancake tuesday' thing is?

Final day before the commencement of Lent - a major period in the Catholic
calendar, leading up to the sacrifice of Easter - starts with Ash Wednesday.
Traditionally, I believe, this was the day you cleaned out your larder of all
the good things before commencing the period of self-denial leading to Easter.
Pancakes were a way of using up all the flour, as did the fillings for the rest
of the goodies. In times past, meat was forbidden, so savoury pancakes were
popular as well as the sweet ones.

If someone has more accurate information, please correct me.

I'd never heard it called Pancake Tuesday either, Dave, but I got the
meaning. Others call it Fat Tuesday; thus "Mardi Gras".
