most of the week sort of self-destructed

mardi gras traditionally means pancakes, so i made these buttermilk pancakes, although i mixed in frozen berries instead of bananas. although i plan to give up meat for lent, so perhaps i should technically be eating bacon or fried chicken. or not think about them at all.

i then sort of fasted on ash wednesday, which is to say, i didn't really fast at all. i had half a bran muffin and apple cider for breakfast, then yogurt and a bran muffin and a half for lunch, then after services, had beans and rice and bread and hummus. on a side note, tribe 40 spices hummus is really good.
