LONDON (AP) — Racers dressed as a skyscraper, beekeeper and a chest of drawers were among dozens of runners in zany costumes zipping around a central London square with a frying pan in hand to celebrate Shrove Tuesday, or “Pancake Day.”
Hundreds of people packed into Guildhall Yard, cheering as participants in the annual Inter-Livery Pancake Race ran around the square while tossing pancakes in their frying pans.
This reminds me that there's joy in the simple things of life. All it takes is a costume and pancakes. To be fair, that does sound like a good day.
It started in Olney in 1445, and has competed against Liberal, Kansas since 1950 in the International Pancake Day Race. USA has the lead in the series.

It's a fun day, you should go.
At my house Sunday is Pancake or Waffle or French Toast Day.
Come to think about it, I have been Pancake\Waffle\French Toast free since my wife died. Gotta work on that!
Depression is a bitch! I have a call in to my Neurologist to raise the dose on the antidepressant.
My wife has a gluten allergy, but loves the pancakes I make for her.
1 C oats
1 C cottage cheese
2 Eggs
Blend until smooth, add a touch of milk if too thick.
Fry like normal, sometimes I'll add a touch of butter to the first batch. I normally double this recipe for leftovers.
