I do love a good sacrifice.
With pie.

According to my Canadian Friend and her Catholic mother, it's Shrove Tuesday, and they will celebrate by eating pancakes and bacon.

Growing up we referred to it as either Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday.

Damn, we jumped the gun. We had pancakes and bacon for dinner Sunday night.

Dude, I'm so out of the religion loop that it wasn't until high school that I figured out why we had fish Fridays in the cafeteria.

Punishingly Intricate
We'd often have pancakes for dinner, not just on Shrove Tuesday. My brothers and dad would have them with syrup and my mom and I would have them with peach yogurt and call them crepes. I'd feel very sophisticated!

No, I have NO idea how to pronounce it.
In czech, cvrtek (ch-vrr-tek) was one of my favorite hard-to-say words. Along with the one that meant four. (ch-teerrzhee)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
In our (Lutheran) church we never gave up anything for Lent. I was initially confused when my friends would talk about what they were giving up.
On the way to Green Bay, there was a little unincorporated town that had one restaurant/bar, and it had a sign that said "Fish Fry Fri." My dad explained what it meant.
My dad has an anti-Catholic bias, which is probably why I used to think Catholics are weird....
