Pancake Day!

[Tilly2]

Will you be having pancakes next Tuesday?

We will, with lots of lemon juice and sugar. Lovely!

Then, it's time to shrive.

[Mamyalynne]

I won't, not a fan of them really.

[Patsy33]

No.

[Cloverjo]

No, I used to try to make them when my son was small but don't bother now. Mine always turned out too thick and gloopy anyway.

[237SJ]

No but I do miss my Mum's pancakes. Like you, we had to have lemon and sugar on them

[shoota]

I like mine with orange juice, rather than lemon, please Tills.

[Tilly2]

I love pancakes. It's a once a year treat for me.

[Tilly2]

Orange juice coming up, Sugar.

[shoota]

Thank you honey....XXX

[Jackdaw33]

You can now buy them already cooked. Just bung in the microwave.

[gness]

Was going to say orange juice with Shoota for me till you two started flirting..... ;-)

[tonyav]

I hope so, bought lemon juice earlier.

shrive
you proddies - you do know shrive is to confess ?
well shriven is well confessed ( = get it all off your chester)

short shrift - bless you my son and ged outta the confessional !

In the doo dah of Mr Widger - the gurl who has Done it ( done in her half brother ) confesses to the murder in the anglican faith. The vicar then claims the sacred protection of the confessional to Victorian outrage and disgust.
( think typical suspect on AB having read an article on sex crime in the Daily Mail) - and the archbish of cant feels obliged to write to the Times and say that Confession is a sacrament in the Anglican Church

whats wrong wiv shriving before pankies ?

[shoota]

You're welcome G, Tills and I have an 'open' relationship...

[sherrardk]

I'll make a mountain of pancakes when they're at school and then I'll zap them after tea - we have lemon juice, castor sugar and golden syrup on them :)

[Jackdaw33]

The term 'short shrift' comes from when people were summarily executed and given a very limited time to make their confession before the axe fell.

[gness]

Thank you, Shoota...just don't bring the mare....she'll eat all the pancakes... :-(

I love pancakes. It's a once a year treat for me.


Why not have them more often then?

[zebo]

Savoury, seafood baked in a cheese sauce, memories of Tiggis Bolton, and ice cream with chocolate sauce, memories of Jim's Den Gibraltar!

[shoota]

Send her an amusing email.

[gness]

I may, Shoota....but she may say neigh..... :-(
