| I ate too many chocolate muffins today, think I might start Lent a day early. Although, I have been meaning to try out a recipe I found for American style blueberry pancakes... I only like American style, the really flat ones taste kinda pointless to me. |

I must've told you this before, we don't eat pancakes today. Here it's traditional to eat this:
It's a "laskiaispulla", a sweet bun with marzipan (or jam) and whipped cream.
In my family we have had pancake days on Shrove tuesday, but this year we're doing it in the Finnish style. |

Dee is giving up alcohol and shopping for Lent. So Pancake Tuesday for us may consist of a mini "blow out" before 40 days of abstinance.

Ahhhh you're talking about "Fasching"-Food?
Yeah..when I was at Travis concert in Munich I got loaded with Krapfen..
in Switzerlan they eat little "Fasnachtchüächli"
it's hard, sugared and it crumbs like hell :) But it's good....with a hot chocolate (remeber you're in Switzerland - you need chocolate ....for everything)

Shit... lent's coming... what to give up... hmmmm work? study?...
We never had Pancake whatever where I'm from... wonder why... we had Palm Sunday and all that crap... not such a big fan of Pancakes anyway... though I'm loving how they're trying to commercialise blimming Pancakes!! |

That looks interesting, you'll have to teach me how to pronounce it Nora! :D
Enjoy your laskiaispulla(s) Mili! |

That looks suspiciously like Krapfen! Central European origin for both, of course! |

It's Mardi Gras and so we have Bugnes today (sorry, the techy-phobe in me can't put up pics).
Pancake day is much earlier in the month! Let's face it, it's just another excuse to stuff ourselves with loads of sugar! |
