Talks to self!
Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day.
Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. The liturgical fasting emphasized eating plainer food and refraining from food that would give pleasure: In many cultures, this means no meat, dairy, or eggs.
So, back to the question, what are you giving up for Lent?
Me? I'm going with chocolate and alcohol?
The alcohol maybe trickier than the chocolate!
Anyone who wants to do a non scale challenge!
Challenge will start on Wed 22nd Feb through to Thur 5th April, which I make 43 days!
