Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

HAPPY PAMCAKE DAY!

Or Shrove Tuesday, to give it its 'proper' name.

Today is the day when all rich ingredients usually found in the home are eaten in preparation for fasting during Lent. We don't tend to fast any more, but we still take the opportunity to make pancakes.
The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by confessing and doing penance.[7] Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the shriving (confession) that Anglo-Saxon Christians were expected to receive immediately before Lent.
It's an old tradition!
On Pancake Day, pancake races are held in villages and towns across the United Kingdom.[15] In 1634 William Fennor wrote in his Palinodia:
"And tosse their Pancakes up for feare they burne."
So, a quick guide to making a delicious pancake:

pancake_01.jpg

Mix 4 oz of plain flour, an egg and half a pint of milk together.

Next get your (preferably non-stick) frying pan and put it on a high temperature. Melt a little butter:

Then simply spoon a ladle-full of the mixture into the pan, making sure it coats the bottom evenly:

Then (here with the help of a lovely assistant) toss the pancake!

Finally, to be really traditional serve with sugar and lemon.

Happy Pancake Day!

    I just realized this will be my first Lent away from cheap Taco John's bean burritos.

    I think I've yet to find an aspect of my life untouched by the absence of Taco John's.

    Seriously, Framling and Jordyn.... one of the Second Day Adventiquasibaptists from Mars tenets is that we need to eat waffles.

    We're not giving up something for Lent.

    Lent back home would just mean that there was an extra day with cheap bean burritos, and for a few weeks we would have Taco Friday as well.
