Happy Pancake Day.

[buzzingtalk]

I gave up for a year once...not a drop. And it was my first year of uni, people thought I was barmy.

You know when its Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Day:







Everyone's got a crepe joke to tell

I had Pancakes again today for Brunch!

I crumbled Cheddar Cheese on to a Pancake, then added three Bacon rashers, and an egg, then a second Pancake on top. Yum.

Same again tomorrow.

I was going to give up Chocolate fro 40 days, but I've been weakened by a large bar of Cadburys Dairy Milk Caramel...maybe next year

I always give up alcohol for Lent, often coffee, and this year chocolate (the choccy bar type, not drinking chocolate) as well.
Even for those with no religious belief, 40 days of NOT having something you enjoy is a good mental discipline, makes you think about it, and makes you appreciate it more as well. How much do you actually ENJOY a treat you have every day? A break brings back the pleasure of when it was new!

I don't consider the things I have every day to be a treat, for example only tend to eat a choccie bar about once a month / six weeks anyway, same with takeaways (actually probably less than that) so I don't really see any point in giving them up artificially. My attitude to food is that if I want something I'll have it and that way I find I rarely crave anything. Would be much more likely to be wanting something if I'd told myself I couldn't.
