Thread: Happy Pancake Day!

Pancake Day.jpg
What will you be having on yours?

We're moving tomorrow and I've packed the sodding frying pan! Ah well, we'll just have to have pancake-another-day

So what's everyone giving up, I'd be good at this apart from the OH is back just before Easter and I think that I'll end up breaking most... I was thinking I could give up my personal trainer for Lent, that's a hardship right?

No more aching muscles, but alas, she'd make me pay when I went back!

I'm giving up work

I'm giving up living in SFA

I'm giving up giving up!

I'm with Gonzo!

Hubby has volunteered to give up beer! I bet he drops a stone before easter (he's a fit man but my god has he got a beer belly on him at the moment!). I'm feeling I should support him in that but I don't actually drink beer so I don't know what to give up. Any ideas?

NOT CHOCOLATE just to get that out of the way.

I don't actually know how to make british pancakes, which are more like crepes to my (American) perspective. Has anyone got a good recipe? I got in nutella, lemon juice, and syrup for toppings. Help a sister out!

My kids are misery gutses (if that's a word!) and don't want pancakes. Don't want to make them just for me cos I will sit and eat a pile of the things.

Not giving up anything - have already given up smoking cos of the baby and apart from the odd Guinness for medicinal purposes I haven't had a drink for 5 months either. I'm going to be grumpy and cling on to what I can have!

How about you both give up alcohol?

From memory

55g plain flour
pinch salt
1 egg
140ml milk
oil or melted butter for cooking...

Sift the flour and salt in a bowl, then beat the egg and and milk together, slowly add the liquid to the flour and beat until you have a smooth batter.

Pour into a pan of hot oil in a thin layer, shake the pan gently so it doesn't stick once it starts to cook, then when it's cooked on one side, stand back and toss the pancake in the pan..... and don't drop it!

I'm a traditional pancake girl and it has to be lemon and sugar for me

Mrs America - simple is best:

"What's for dinner mum"

"Pancakes"

"I don't want pancakes, what else is for dinner?"

"Wait and see"....

<Serves pancakes>

Simple!

Simple!

Now if I had an ounce of willpower and could trust myself not to eat the lot when they refuse to eat them, I'd do that!

My kids haven't read the bit in the manual that says "if they're hungry, they'll eat it" lol.

A bit of both got lots of leave and fed up being the one who gives things up for others so not doing that anymore (also this leave is probably going to be fairly indulgent with birthdays, a visit to TOPs and a holiday involved hehe

It's Jif lemon day!

The only day of the year that radio presenters can say "tosser" without incurring a hefty fine and/or get the sack

Feisty swore - she said give up alkehol!!!
I'm giving up the gym :-)
