tuesdays

it's a day that doesn't ask for much, mostly just sitting there, unassuming, near the begining of the week, and yet it is connected to a variety of events such as the stock market crash; "black tuesday" or the cheap bargains found on expensive looking items at "tuesday morning." it also has a glamorous role in march where it gets called fat, and loud glittery drunken carnivals commence all over the world.

i'd like to throw another one onto the stockpile of handy tuesday references: "pancake tuesday;" traditionally celebrated the day before lent where flour and fat were used up before the fasting began and pancakes were the best way in which to accomplish this.

ahh...pancakes. i'll take mine from smitty's, the banana one's, with real maple syrup. i know, let's play a game. a special prize* will be awarded to the first one to successfully ship warm banana pancakes with hot maple syrup to my flat in england in time for pancake tuesday on the 28th of february. let the bloodbath begin...


*prize will be delivered upon my return and will most likely be in the form of a hearty thank you accompanied by a handshake or other comparable physical action. pancakes must reach the united kingdom in the same condition as served. any aberation in pancakes will immediately invalidate prize winnings. pancakes delivered in any form remain the property of contest organizer.
