It's Tuesday, February the 5th, 2008 and it's Super - Pancake - Tuesday!
Today is a special day for two reasons. There may be more, but the biggest two reasons are:
1) Super Tuesday in the US. American Citizens have to vote on who they want to vote for a year and a half from now. Then, after they vote for who they want to vote for, they tally the votes for the votables and calculate who was voted votable in the next vote.
2) PANCAKES!!!
Since about the 1700s, and beginning in England, people made pancakes 47 days before easter. Who knows why - but the thing is - we get to eat pancakes! We had pancakes here at Flags Unlimited for lunch today. And I'll be having them again for dinner at home. I'd like to say thank you to both England and the 1700s for starting this fantastic tradition. There's rumblings that the British aren't as committed to Pancake Tuesday, and that the celebration may be dying off. I hope that isn't true. Save Pancake Tuesday, England!
