Today is Shrove Tuesday .. also known as Pancake Day!

The idea behind the day dedicated to one of North America's favourite breakfast foods is that it is a day to feast before fasting for lent.

Growing up I was always excited for "Pancake Day." Not only did I get to have pancakes for supper but they usually had coins hidden in them! Double score!!

I remember that some friends' parents would hide rings, thimbles, screws and many other things in their pancakes as a sort of foreshadowing about their future.

Do you celebrate Pancake Day? If so, what do you put in them?
