IHOP Misses Fat Tuesday By One Week

IHOP National Pancake Day - February 23, 2010 - Pancake Day Details: "About National Pancake Day February 23, 2010 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." Maybe I'm missing something here but isn't Mardi Gras this year on Feb. 16? God bless 'em. They donate a huge amount to Children's Miracle Network and they are giving away a FREE short stack of pancakes on Feb. 23.
