Today is Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday as they call it in England. Pancakes are traditionally eaten because apparently fat, flour, milk, and eggs were among the items fasted from during Lent so it was a final bit of partying before Easter. So we feasted on pancakes to honor the tradition and mark the transition into Lent. Thorne added to the festivities by insisting upon finding the book If You Give a Pig a Pancake and showing us the pictures of that pig eating pancakes and syrup. A delightful morning.
