The boys in Room 13 were treated to some pancakes today. They had Hershey’s Chocolate Sauce and lemon and sugar for their toppings.

Shrove Tuesday (also known as Pancake Tuesday or Pancake day) is the day in February or March immediately preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), and is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others, especially those where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof, this is a carnival day, and also the last day of “fat eating” or “gorging” before the fasting period of Lent.
