There are some subjects that are so important you have a hard time holding back your excitement.
Look to the left.
A stack of pancakes.
Don't they look good?
How would you like to get a stack for free?
That's what I thought.
Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, which is also known as Pancake Day.
It's actually a Christian holiday.

Okay.
Maybe a little guilty?

Here's a little background on Pancake Day, courtesy of Wikipedia:
Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent.
The liturgical fasting emphasized eating plainer food: in many cultures this meant no meat, and in some, no food prepared with dairy or eggs. Therefore, rich ingredients were cooked to use them immediately prior to the commencement of the fast. Pancakes and doughnuts also provided a minor celebratory feast prior to the fast itself [2].
The word shrove is a past tense of the English verb "shrive," which means to obtain absolution for one's sins by confessing and doing penance.[6] Shrove Tuesday gets its name from the shriving (confessing) that English Christians were expected to do prior to receiving absolution immediately before Lent began.[
