National Pancake Day...

I just read that February 28th is National Pancake Day and that IHOP is celebrating this "holiday" by giving everyone pancakes. I swear, I just broke out in a cold sweat. I. Hate. Pancakes.

I rarely, stress RARELY, ever eat pancakes and have refused to since I was a child. Now, my grandfather's corn fritters are a totally different story, but pancakes, YUCK!

In 1st Grade, at St. Helwig's school in I think Waterbury, CT, they would serve Pancakes for lunch every flippin' Wednesday. I would beg and plead with my mother to actually do her motherly duty and make a brown bag lunch (which, if you had ever had my mother's cooking is like asking for a game of russian roulette) but I was willing to put my stomach at risk if only to avoid those damn pancakes. I was grateful to go to Holy Cross in New Britain the next year and they did not believe in serving pancakes, ever. Not even on Wednesdays.

To this day I cannot have them. I will not have them. I do not want them.

I'd rather have green eggs and ham or my mother's cooking!
