Eat a Pancake

hello, I'd like to wish all of you happy national pancake day. If you are out driving around today and feel a little peckish, why not stop in at the IHOP and have some pancakes. I hear they've declared it to be national pancake day. A pretty savvy move I'd say, since one of their major products is pancakes. I was doing some research on this, to see if there really is a nat'l pancake day, or did the clever marketing folks at IHOP just make this up. I learned that this is shrove tuesday, the day before Lent, and celebrating that (not Lent, the shrove thing) also involves pancakes, so now I just don't know what to think. Maybe IHOP is part of the Catholic church? I guess it could happen.


Here at the Nest we know next to nothing (or nest to nothing, get it?) about religion, but we do know about pancakes. So if you've got some time, and are not already a fatso, have some pancakes at IHOP and help a few of those people keep their jobs a few days longer. Pancakes are comfort food, so if you are stressing about the economy or your job, maybe you'll enjoy a few minutes of solace over your buttery fake maple flavored carb overload.


Then on Wednesday we can all celebrate National Take a Nap day.


Enjoy!
