The British are obsessed with pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. There were pancake flipping races all over the city today. Sadly, I was unable to go, but I did check out a little TV footage of them, and it looks like they were pretty hilarious. It was raining today, and I had class at lunchtime, when the festivities occurred. Here are some photos from years past. I got them off of Google Images. Really, I wish that I could have gone.
For Lent this year, I am doing the utterly unthinkable- giving up all junk food and sweets. Frankly, it's an exercise of willpower, just to see if I can do it.
To celebrate my decision, I had a pain au chocolat for breakfast, and a cappuccino and a Hazelnut Ritter Sport for lunch.
HAPPINESS.
No. Not happiness... must resist... starting tomorrow.
Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
