FREE Pancakes!!

It's "Mardi Gras" time!!!
Today is often referred today as FAT TUESDAY! Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, the Christian season of Lent. Today was originally called Shrove Tuesday? The word shrove is the past tense of the English verb shrive, which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by way of confession and doing penance. Shrove Tuesday and Fat Tuesday essentially mean the same thing: eating special foods before the fasting season of Lent. Fat Tuesday marks the end of "Mardi Gras!" Today is widely associated with the eating of foods such as pancakes (yum!), and often known simply as PANCAKE DAY - originally because ingredients such as fat and eggs had to be used up since they were traditionally restricted during the Lent season.

Are you asking why did you need to know all that? Well, because it was just a little history lesson for you and it explains WHY today is known as National Pancake Day (according to IHOP).

I don't know about you...but I LOVE pancakes! And I especially LOVE IHOP buttermilk pancakes! Today, IHOP is offering FREE PANCAKES (a short stack!) when you make a small donation to Children's Miracle Network. YUM!!! I do believe Allen and I will be celebrating National Pancake Day...I hope you do too! :)

Who needs to diet anyway...right?!

  1. Consider that travelling is a competitive niche for the network community to get involve and get
    any kind of business is mainly because you are selling. There
    are websites that help to diagnose an illness
    and describe treatment; there are some genuine nice people, you just have to get people to see.
