One does not use one's manservant for culinary chores. For one, it is frightfully unhygienic.Quote:

my efforts!!! :D:D
Tins of fruit cocktail are the devil's chunderspew. That is all.
Ah the pancakes were great yesterday...we had a wide variety of fillings in my house, most had the usual lemon and sugar, some branched out for a 2nd one with either strawberries and cream, chocolate, and icecream
Points 1 to 4 are not only doctrinal but result in ex-communication from the Church of latter day Pancakes.Quote:

Indeed, Lional Richie may be sailing quite close to the wind in his choice of toppings and I'm informed he's currently under surveillance by the Opus Pie League as we speak.
As i forgot to stock up on the devils juice (milk) I was limited to being able to make 5 pancakes giving the boys 2 each and me the last and smallest. Still smothered it in the genuine real McCoy canadian maple syrup me mammy brought me back from her last trip over (during the summer and there was only a tiny bit left as myself and the kids like to dine on pancakes and maple syrup quite regularly). Even though it was only a small tribute to the great feast day it was indeed devine. Nearly make me believe in religion again.
Quite. Everyone knows you use the most junior of your pastry chefs for this task. It astonishes me that I even have to spell this out in this day and age.Quote:

BTW John83, I seen ya on the telly the other night. Looking good! :)
Ye wha? :confused:Quote:

Well, had none on Tuesday but loads yesterday! Ice cream mostly, with hint of Flake and Golden Syrup. Sooo good. :)
I often make so much batter that I eat pancakes for breakfast on Ash Wednesday, which kind of goes completely against the point.
I'm not the most religious person, but I do my bit, especially when Santa Claus, pancakes, and Easter eggs are involved.
I'm disappointed Noby - everyone knows Pancake Tuesday = eat pancakes, Ash Wednesday = eat Ash. He's been waiting all year long for it...Quote:

Unfortunately, it appears that there are others. The correct question would have been something like "Would I risk joining the ranks of ignoratocenti by putting butter on my Pancakes?" (it is still a work in progress - I'll get there with it yet).
The answer to that would of course be yes. Don't do it Torn-Ado you still have hope!
oh yes I would.Quote:

Jaysus Wolfie you scared the life out of me there for a second - thought I'd missed it, but then I was thinking, wait a minute Easter ain't until April 4, so it couldn't have been two days agoQuote:

If there is yet another thing to learn from St. Pancake's life, as transcribed three or so generations later by the monks of Odlum's Abbey, it is that every day is pancake day. You would know you were in Godless Britain with a response from them like that.
Do you know what some of them over here think? That nutella is acceptable. Nutella! I was once fortunate enough to be allowed to see the page of Leabhair Pancóig, where the dark arts prohibited are listed, and you should see the artistry, and dark portent, that those monk poured into the "N" at the top of the page. You'd know before you read the rest of the word that naught but eternal damnation and a sticky roof of the mouth follows that transgression.
