Pancakes and Holy Ashes


It was nice to see Joe Biden sportin' an ashen forehead cross on TV yesterday. Love him though we do, it's hard not to see pandering written in the form of dirty thumbprints. Politics!

In related matters, Theo found out that it was Pancake Day across Ireland on Tuesday. Apparently, it’s a tradition to make pancakes or crepes the day before Ash Wednesday as a means to rid refrigerators of any remaining sausages and rashers before Lent begins. It is essentially a temptation attenuation event, and Theo has decided to bring the tradition home with him for next year.
