Let's give up giving up. That way we will be showing our pious natures by indulging. Doesn't that sound positively inspired. Being one of the heretical Lutherans, I have never had to eat fish on Fridays, nor sacrifice during Lent. Perhaps I would have profitted from denying myself more. My waistline would certainly agree.

Got to go, I've got chillies to sow! Miles Cid,

Perhaps they might drop us a line on the blog? Let's face it, anyone getting out of Grimsby is cause for celebration :) Cid Miles,

Good luck with your fasting, it is hard but worth it (apparently) Miles Cid & Elsie,

We used our best yorkshire pudding mix with a little added melted butter. We created a sauce of orange/lemon zest and squeezed juice, some caster sugar and a good splash of Grand Marnier. Psssst, we did not flame or boil it, just warm it a little in order not to lose out on the alcohol :). I am afraid that Lent will have to be faced with a reduction in our beloved chocolate intake. If the struggle gets to hard we may have to give in :) Elsie Miles,

Trouble is there's one of the seven deadly sins sat in my fridge, a tin of condensed milk and I hear it calling me. From tomorrow on though it would be a good idea to give up something for Lent... Cid's sinful treats: Chocolate (well of course it's in poll position!) Bread and butter with soft brown sugar - all bad but surprisingly good Cake, every kind Butter in mashed potatoes, well the quantity I use Battered fish Tall milky coffees Pastry Puddings, most of them Condensed milk, which probably has all of the above in it :) I shall cut out some of these and have others in far greater moderation, that should see me through to Easter and hopefully beyond. Cid Miles,

what’s in my pancake? … if I do indulge then sugar and lemon or rosehip syrup. Trouble is there’s one of the seven deadly sins sat in my fridge, a tin of condensed milk and I hear it calling me. From tomorrow on though it would be a good idea to give up something for Lent…

Cid’s sinful treats:

Chocolate (well of course it’s in poll position!)
Bread and butter with soft brown sugar - all bad but surprisingly good
Cake, every kind
Butter in mashed potatoes, well the quantity I use
Battered fish
Tall milky coffees
Pastry
Puddings, most of them
Condensed milk, which probably has all of the above in it :)

I shall cut out some of these and have others in far greater moderation, that should see me through to Easter and hopefully beyond.

I'm not sure how I'd look in full Mardi Gras costume but sufficiently off-putting at a guess so the pancakes had better be ground-breakingly fabulous :) Cid Elsie,
