Perfect Pancakes For the pancake lovers among us, this is probably great news!!

There are some lovely pancake recipes on All Recipes.com which you can use to vary your pancakes from the normal cinnamon sugar filling.
Personally I’m not keen on all the sweet fillings, so I’ll be reading up on the savoury fillings

Still, I don’t know if I’ll be able to eat pancakes every day for a week…

I also read up on the history of pancakes, and found it rather interesting. Pancake Week is grounded in ancient tradition. During the Middle Ages, it was common practice to prepare for the austerity of Lent by purging the pantry of luxurious foods such as eggs, butter and milk. These ingredients often became big batches of pancakes. To this day, many communities around the world feast on pancakes all the way through Shrove Tuesday–also known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras–before the season of moderation begins on Ash Wednesday. In fact, another name for Fat Tuesday is Pancake Day.

If you need to phone a friend, but don’t have a lot of money, specially if that friend is somewhere abroad, you can now phone them for a cheaper price than with a normal mobile phone, or landline.

GetMe Calling cards have reasonable rates, which will enable you to have that long dreamt of conversation to your friends abroad! They sell calling cards from a large number of vendors, which enable you to phone to any of 153 countries around the world, for LESS than most service providers!

Discover I’m always intrigued by art, and would love to buy some nice paintings for the new house. I’ve often looked at the paintings in local galleries, and I’ve imagined a hundred different themes for our house.

If you have that same passion for good quality art, have a look at Park West Art Gallery. They have truely unique paintings that will brighten up any room, or house for that matter.

I had some art classes when I was in high school, and I would actually love to paint things myself – for our home. I just lack the guts to start. One day when I’m a ‘stay at home mom’ I might do just that!
