A PSA and a poll about pancakes (46/365)

[white_hart]

For those who are utterly adrift in time and didn't happen to glance at their calendar just now while desperately seeking inspiration for a post, tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day for those of us in the UK (and anyone else who fancies pancakes).

Possibly I should have saved the poll for tomorrow, but I might be too busy eating pancakes then. Also, I want to steal your pancake ideas.

Yes, we allow fish, but try to keep it to no more than twice a week. (We've abandoned giving up meat twice in recent years - once when Lawyer broke his arm badly, and last year when we got Covid mid-way through.* In fact, thinking about it, Lent seems not to be a good time of year for us!)

Thanks for the recipe ideas!

*Mind you, as we were relying on other people to shop for us, AND there were also still weird shortages at that point, we ate quite a weird assortment of stuff. Not that we could taste it, anyway....

I wouldn't have minded not being able to taste anything - my sense of taste went totally weird and cheese tasted metallic, it was revolting. And coffee tasted of fish! It did recover, but for awhile all I could tolerate was those very bland pre-cooked chicken slices!

We are omnivorous, but it seems that most of the recipes I play with are either vegetarian or vegan. Not quite all....
