Pancakes tomorrow, is it?

[Sir C]

Every year I thnk I'll do a proper job and start with savoury wons. Seafood pancakes or some sort of galette job.

Then every year I can't be ársed, and it's lemon and sugar all the way.

Tragic, when you think about it.

Seems a bit late this year.
I will not have any on principle of my strict eating regime.

Any pace is a decent pace, f. As long as you're getting the exercise done.

I started at 10 kph and have worked up to 13 kph for 30 minutes, but it's taken quite a lot of work. Should be easier for a youngster like you.

I only really just returned to the gym so long way to go.
I start with a fast walk then set my times for a run. then wait for the next bit.

Started off 3 mins walk 2 mins run and over.
then the week after 2 walk 3 run and so on.

I have had to invest in some wireless headphones as the wires do my head in and I am not fond of the thumping gym music.

There is a great app from the NHS called Couch to 5k that does exactly that but with a plan and some structure. It sorted me out rapidly. Well worth getting, I'd say.

I need to give my legs a rest. Yesterday and today I really struggled and had to quit early. I think I've worn myself out.

It took me a while to get over the feeling a bit shy in the gym phase.
But now I stick my hoodie on and shut myself out. I wish there wasn't mirrors in front of me though it's boring watching myself run.

Did them for brekkers yesterday as I'm away tomorrow. Beurre sucre is my current jam. Although currant jam might also be nice, actually.

With the utmost respect for your educated palate I am unsure if pancake Tuesday was really invented for poncey *******s like “seafood pancakes”.

Lemon/butter/sugar is your man, or perhaps Nutella and banana at a push, or maple syrup.

Not seafood.

We really need a priest to assist with these theological questions.

You get half a day off to eat pancakes?! No wonder the EU is going down the pan. Thank god for Brexit :cloud9:

ISTR hearing that Shrove Tuesday was invented to use up all the remaining food before fasting for the 40 days of Lent.

So any auld grub could have gone in the pancake, which for our ancestors would basically have been turnips, I expect.

Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. In addition, pancakes, in Christianity, symbolize "four pillars of the Christian faith—eggs for creation, flour as the mainstay of the human diet, salt for wholesomeness and milk for purity."

Fish is for Fridays in our world, not Tuesdays.

Or as the modern joyless food nazis would have it, eggs for cholesterol, flour for gluten, salt for high blood pressure, and milk for fat.

Down with foodieism.
