{Tuesday, February 5}
.
Funny, I had never heard the term "Pancake Day" until this year. Despite no longer considering myself Catholic, I come from a traditional Catholic background, and always knew this day as Shrove Tuesday. I suppose its odd but I go out of my way to eat pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, as well as not eating meat on Ash Wednesday or Good Friday, and they're really the only religious traditions I hold on to. Christmas and Easter seem to be culturally mandated these days.
