National Pancake Day
« on: March 07, 2017, 08:48:38 AM »
I'm so confused. The Interwebz says that National Pancake Day is 26SEP. IHOP says it is today. I think my only safe option is to make pancakes on both days.  :laugh:

Why wouldn't you?!
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Indeed.  =D

I just did, actually. I've been hooked on Kodiak Cakes protein pancakes. My regular homemade pancakes, while delicious (if I do say so myself) are pretty fattening. I tried the Kodiak Cakes not expecting much from a "protein pancake", but they are really good for any kind of premix pancake. I wouldn't buy them at regular prices, but Costco has them for eight bucks for a big box of mix.

Perhaps they mean International Pancake Day.

In any case, may Saint Rachel smile upon thee this Pancake Day.

I see what you did there.  Don't worry; your joke didn't fall flat.

IIRC, there is some quibble as to when St. Pancake day truly is.

The day she martyred herself (16 March 2003), or the day her friends chose to honor her martyrdom a year later.

Why not both ??


Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Pancakes on one day and latkes on the other?
