Every Shrove Tuesday, without fail, I realise that it's been a year since I last ate pancakes, and resolve to remember that I really rather enjoy them, and am allowed to eat them on other days. Still, eating them in Lent, even though I generally avoid food based fasts because it can be bad for my brainweasels, doesn't feel quite in the spirit of things. And so every year, without fail, by Easter I've forgotten about them.
This year I have put a note in my diary on Low Sunday, which says "Remember you like pancakes!"
