We decided on Cracker Barrel at noon and I ordered the “Kid’s Pancakes” because it’s Shrove Tuesday – Pancake Day. <\/a> When you’re in the American South trying to follow an English tradition what this means, essentially, is instead of a nice crispy pastry you end up eating an entire kind-of-apple-pie, complete with whipped cream . I wont go on about the ridiculous portion size – on the CHILDREN’S MENU – because I ate it all<\/strong> but I will say it was the beast that broke the camel’s back. <\/em> <\/p>\n

\"Pancake<\/center><\/p>\n

My Lenten list: <\/p>\n

  • Facebook<\/strong><\/li>\n

    – I understand the need to network. But my priorities are elsewhere at the moment. Eliminating Facebook would free up as much as an hour a day. <\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Sugar<\/li>\n

    <\/strong> – The refined stuff (above) does nothing but degenerate and destroy every tissue and organ in the body. Particularly detrimental to those of us with autoimmune issues. See: Chronic Inflammation<\/a> and cut back on the carbs.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

  • Television<\/li>\n

    <\/strong> – I don’t have cable or satellite but terrestrial telly is starting to eat away at my time. House, Castle, Vampire Diaries, The Mentalist, Bones (Sorry David). That’s five hours a week that could otherwise go toward writing. Or reading. Or running. Friday Fringe<\/a> stays. Spooky action at a distance<\/a>, thanks. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
