Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, or as they call it in England, Pancake Day. Someone asked me if we celebrated Pancake Day in the U.S. I told them every Sunday was pancake day in my mind.

For Shrove Tuesday there are sometimes pancake flipping races and such, but I don't know of anything like that in Sheffield. Victoria and I did make pancakes last night to eat. The British style pancake is a bit more like crepes than the U.S. style pancake. We had ours with M&Ms, ice cream, and syrup. They were yummy.

We almost didn't have enough ingredients for pancakes, but the day before, the neighbors who live above us brought us a bunch of food. They have their groceries delivered, and there was a mix-up. Somehow they ended up with a lot of food they didn't order. The supermarket gave it to them free, so that was nice. It was too much for them, so they gave some to us, including eggs. Also, Victoria remembered we needed more milk on the way back from Japanese class, so we were able to pick some up at the convenience store.
