Fat Tuesday!

My wife asked me, in that particular way that wives have, if I had an idea what I was making for dinner. Being no fool, I say “What did you have in mind?” She said, “Pancakes.”

I don’t have this family tradition, actually: we never made pancakes the day before Ash Wednesday. But she had, and it was established of course that I would go get some sausages, and we happened to have blueberries and the proper kind of whipped cream already, and hey these sausages are on regular AND same-day sale so they cost me thirty cents, and… blueberry pancakes and sausage and coffee. It was a satisfying meal.

Happy Fat Tuesday! Eat some pancakes. It’s good for what ails ya.
