Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper

Tuesday February 24th was Mardi Gras this year.  That means it was time to pull out the beads and cook up the pancakes!

There were at least two shifts of cooks, and a LOT of pancackes later (4 boxes of Trader Joe's Buttermilk Pancake mix!), plain or with blueberries or chocolate chips inside, and strawberry, ready whip, mixed fruit, pancake syrup, candy sprinkles, and M&Ms on top.  All washed down with apple juice, milk, water, or cranberry/apple juice.

As you can see from the pictures, there was a good turnout (at least 40 people) and most everyone was smiling with a mouthful of sweet syrupy goodness - when they weren't chasing balloons around.  Thank you Lukus for taking the great pictures of the group!

All together we raised at least $226 for Touching Tiny Lives in Lesotho!!
