    "Shrove is the past tense of shrive, which means to gain absolution of sins by confession and repentance. Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Tuesday in some western European countries. The pancake aspect is not as widely observed in the United States as it is in England."

    I had never heard of Shrove Tuesday so I Googled it. I guess I'm stuck with my sins. ;):D

    Shrove Tuesday aka Pancake Day will be on Tuesday, 13th February 2024.

    Explanation of Shrove Tuesday.

    https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/uk/shrove-tuesday

    Always celebrated since 1985 without missing. We all pitch in to make the batter fir the pancakes the night before. On the day, we have some for lunch and dinner.

    Lunch served just the pancakes with syrup and butter.
    Dinner served with whole Scottish breakfast extras.

    I might be bold this year and slightly change the batter recipe from buttermilk to buckwheat!!!
