Last night was Shrove Friday. I know what you're thinking: "Its supposed to be Shrove Tuesday and that was last month!"
My reply would be: PFFFFFFFFTTTTTTT!!! For me this is the festival of sharking. This is the festival where you extort money from those who borrowed from you.
Last night we decided to have the pancakes that we hadn't had for 2 reasons:
1. I was working away
2. The pancakes made on Shrove Thursday were a slight disaster as we had no butter and FW tried making them from Olive spread. It ended with the frying pan lighting up the kitchen.
So at about 10:00 last night, after watching Hotel Babylon, FW decided to make the pancakes. This time there were no fires from an ignited the frying pan. I also decided that I'd like to try this pancake making lark. Previously I'd onlyt ever eaten other people's. So, armed with the Complete Delia Smith, I proceeded to show my culinary might.
First pancake emerges a little small and not quite right. From then on everything went like a dream. Pancake after pancake emerged from the frying pan, each better than the last. The only problem I had was that my butter proportions were a little more than necessary but only a little, not enough to spoil my efforts.
This does of course have some drawbacks:
1. FW will now expect me to cook more often
2. My mother will read this and leave a comment to the effect that I should cook more often
3. Other people will expect me to cook more often
