Pancake Tuesday.... a little history:
Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday is a Christian feast day whose date is determined by Easter. It is the day before the first day of Lent (Ash Wednesday). The expression ‘Shrove’ or ‘‘shrive’ means ‘to confess’ and this was a day celebrated in the Middle Ages as a period to confess one's sins and receive redemption before the beginning of Lent.

As well as penitence, Shrove Tuesday, was a day to eat all your favorite fatty foods before the beginning of the Lenten fast. Up until relatively recently, fatty foods such eggs and dairy were forbidden during Lent, so the day before proved to be a perfect time to binge on pancakes which are essentially butter, eggs, and sugar. (It was also time to use up all the eggs and fat in the house before the fast began.)

You are welcome to two pancakes tomorrow morning. After we will be finishing our Mardi Gras masks. You may bring things from home to decorate your mask.
