This post is in honour of our dear friend Peter Johns - chef extraordinaire, and fellow Brit, as I imagine he did something similar today. I decided to make pancakes for Shrove Tuesday like me mum always did growing up - once a year, straight out of the pan, lemon juice and sugar liberally sprinkled - apply to face till you can't eat any more.
Well, if you're going to make a dozen pancakes (crepes, more accurately), you might as well make three dozen. So, for our regular Tuesday night family meal with our friends the Maddocks I served crepes stuffed with caramelized onions, wilted kale and sautéed mushrooms, topped with a light cheese sauce with more than a hint of nutmeg, accompanied by roasted sweet potatoes. Followed, of course, by the traditional pancakes of Shrove Tuesday.
There's a reason it's called 'Fat Tuesday'. One big splurge before the season of Lent begins tomorrow...

Wow a post in my honor...woohoo! I did do something similar, but I also used up leftovers.
I made english pancakes, stuffed them with a 2 meat ragu and then baked them in the oven covered with cheese - which is something I used to do in my college days.
It was awesome!!!
Color me Jealous! Those look amazing!
