Gorram it. Having that cup of tea a few hours ago has left me unable to sleep. Guess this just means I'll be falling asleep in French tomorrow... *checks time* I mean, today, at uni.

Guess most CONSUS browncoats are either at work already or preparing for work?

Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me

Recipe? I just kinda throw these things together at random (this was a meal I made yesterday). I suppose I could write up some sort of recipe.

Yeah, that is pretty cool! I wasn't familiar with the comic either - must check it out.

I've created an animation for those who want to encourage new posters to the forsaken theads.

I'll be making more at some point. After all, here at the forsaken we're always looking for fresh blood

Are we planning a special thread for Halloween by the way? Seems to me like a perfect time for a forsaken party!

Oooh! Pancakes!

Do you guys have pancake Tuesday in the US? It's something celebrated in Ireland the Tuesday before the Christian holy day Ash Wednesday. That marks 40 days of fasting - which these days usually means giving up sugar in your tea or chocolate or something. So pancake Tuesday is a day of feasting on pancakes, syrup, honey, chocolate and anything gooey and yummy

It's even more fun if you're non-Christian, as you don't have the 40 days of penance afterwards

I have never participated in such a thing, but then again I haven't been a Christian for several years now and even when I was we didn't really adhere to the practice of Lent. It sure sounds like a good way to spend a Tuesday though.

EDIT: I had a comic to share with everyone, mainly because of one line that I think you will all recognize (I hope this works):

Yeah, it became a national thing here as up until recently most people in Ireland were Catholic. So pretty much every family, even the ones that were a bit so-so about the religion, would take part. It's kind of kept on as a tradition. I think it's also the same tradition that lead to Mardi Gras (sp?)

Plus, you know. Pankcakes! There is no bad here.

Fruit is getting to be too expensive here. First we had a hurricane wipe out most of the bananna plantations, then the dry winter and usual bushfires has ruined a lot of the stone fruits. So it almost seems like we're down to a few apples (of which the quality isn't too great) and some berries (but they're kinda low-quality as well).

Speaking of traditions - I have a friend that celebrates Sunday Sundaes every year. He felt August needed a holiday, so on the first Sunday in August, he and his family get different flavors of ice cream and different toppings. They invite friends over to celebrate Sunday Sundaes. It's HOT here in Arizona especially in August, so Sunday Sundaes is something to look forward to during the summer.

Sunday Sundaes sounds like a great holiday for August, as it needed a little something to break up the monotony between the 4th and Labor Day.
