Once upon a time, Emily was a small child who celebrated Shrove Tuesday with a pancake supper at her church every year. After supper, the pancake races would be held, and she would (obviously) dominate her age division every year (until a new boy came to church and proved to be some stiff competition. But no worries, he's so drugged up now he wouldn't know a pancake if it hit him in the face).
Once upon a later time, Kimmy and Liz kindly indulged Emily's childhood reminiscing during Shrove Tuesday 2010. Liz took her to pancake dinner at St. Paul's, and then pancake races were held in 443 later that night.
Kimmy and Emily tied for first place in the races, Liz won the pancake-eating race and the good-sport race for taking the burnt pancake (it seems our stove really just doesn't like her lately - check out the epic scar on her hand for more proof). A door jamb was the only casualty.
[begin cliche here] 10,000 Maniacs once said: "And as you feel it, you'll know it's true that you are blessed and lucky." Shrove Tuesday was that kind of night. Thanks 443!
