Guess what my husband is doing today

Vince’s challenge for his FB photographic group is ‘My Day’ so he set up his camera on the tripod, put it on 10 second delay and photographed himself tossing pancakes. However, those in the collage are ones I took with my little point-and-shoot. Today is Shrove Tuesday, otherwise known as Pancake Tuesday. We are having a few friends at our house tonight and we’ll be serving pancakes. They are the thin ones so probably more correctly called ‘crepes’. We are going to the movies at the village clubhouse at 7pm. The film will finish about 8.30pm and three couples will then come home with us to have a pancake supper. We’ll have them sprinkled with lemon and sugar and might put strawberry jam on some. The film we’ll be seeing is Red Joan starring Judi Dench so it is bound to be a good movie. Another enjoyable day in Aspire Village, Treeby, Western Australia.

You seem to have a very quiet and organized community that you live in. Doing such movie nights and gathering neighbors to watch it seems to be a very good time to bond with neighbors and friends. You also have to get the chance to meet with other people and dine with them at your home later. Hope they will enjoy the night with you with you pancakes too.

@JudyEv That is just nice that you have that very active neighborhood org that at least makes the place livable and concerned with one another.

Thanks and you are quite right. We have asocial committee that organises a number of different functions from time to time. There are also clubs that meet at the clubhouse to play cards, pool, or to do crafts, etc.

You're forcing poor Vince to cook for a houseful of guests tonight? (And I thought slave labor was abolished ages ago. ) I hope you all have a good evening and everybody enjoys their pancakes.

Thanks for the good wishes. I'm sorry your pancakes didn't work out. Gluten really seems to be important to the success of some dishes.

I love Judi Dench. The old English shows come on a few TV channels. I catch one of the shows occasionally. Have fun with your friends and enjoy your pancakes.

I forgot about you mentioning Tuesday is pancake day there. I hope i can remember that in the morning when the baby wants breakfast. It is still Monday here for 5 minutes . I am heading to bed and will be away in about 7 hours then hopefully pancakes will be the first thing that pops in my head when I awaken.

If I need to remember something the next day, I try to think of it last thing before I go to sleep. Mostly it works for me. I hope you remember when you wake up.

Judi Dench "M" 's movie ought to be interesting! She was a great actor. In the Bond Series, she was at her best in "The World is not Enough" and "Skyfall" (her last). Looks like all were greeted by awesome pancakes by Vince. The pictures are really nice. Have a nice time !!

@JudyEv Do maple tree grow in Australia? Is maple syrup common or easily found there?

@moffittjc The honest answer about maple trees is that I don't know. We have Japanese maples as ornamental trees but I think they might be a different species to those that produce the sap for syrup. After a quick research, it seems the maples available here are more about landscaping. I don't think sap is harvested here. You can buy artificial maple syrup. I haven't looked for pure syrup and I only know about the artificial because a friend brought a bottle to our pancake night.

I had another dozen photos where I'd missed the 'flip' and just had the 'flop' in the pan.

You really captured the spirit of flipping pancakes .... some here call them flap jacks .... I tried that once and the dern thing ended up on the floor, no more flipping for me. I really like Judi Dench, she is such a talented actress.

Yes, I've heard 'flapjacks' before too. Vince hasn't dropped one in a long time. He likes to teach any visiting kids how to flip them. They are always very worried about dropping them but thrilled to bits when they succeed.

Can you put some aside for me, so I can bring butter and maple syrup? Giving them a French name does not separate us from reality. They are pancakes and should be treated as such. I will bring the coffee.
