Happy National Pancake Day!
More freebies from restaurants...and hey, I'm all about that. Go to your local IHOP and you too can celebrate National Pancake Day (also known as Fat Tuesday) with a free short stack:
Join IHOP to celebrate National Pancake Day on Tuesday, February 24, 2009. From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., we’ll give you one free short stack (three) of our famous buttermilk pancakes. All we ask is that you consider making a donation to support local children’s hospitals through Children’s Miracle Network, or other local charities.
And I can't think of a better day to have free pancakes than on Fat Tuesday, plus you can donate what you might spend on them to a good cause:
Known also as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, National Pancake Day dates back several centuries to when the English prepped for fasting during Lent. Strict rules prohibited the eating of all dairy products during Lent, so pancakes were made to use up the supply of eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products…hence the name Pancake Tuesday, or Shrove Tuesday.Since beginning its National Pancake Day celebration in 2006, IHOP has raised nearly two million dollars to support charities in the communities in which it operates. With your help, we hope to raise $1,000,000 for Children’s Miracle Network in 2009!
So you can have pancakes and help out a worthy charity at the same time! What could be better?
