Happy Shrove Tuesday, Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         Yes, girls, it is here.  Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday when all the fat has to be used up in the house, as the season of fasting begins.

                                             The tradition for many, including all at this house, is that one eats pancakes on this day.  Come to think of it, this is probably the only day of the year that I actually do eat pancakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                For others, it is apple strudel, or some form of carb.  The idea is to get in something good before Ash Wednesday, because, for the next 40 days, forget it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                But then there is Easter to look forward to, which means not only the resurrection of Jesus, but the annual screening of "The Song Of Bernadette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                                                  So, I want to wish everyone a Happy Shrove Tuesday, and a safe and easy season of fasting during Lent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                    You can still have tea at The Pierre, darlings!  But no tempting edibles!!!!!!!!!!!
