Today is National Pancake Day

(via FARK) LINK2

Wikipedia link HERE

And ALLRECIPES has a link to every pancake recipe known to mankind...or who link to it's site...

My recipe is: Open pancake mix. Mix. Cook. Serve.

And since we are discussing Religious feasts, I bet you don't know that yesterday was the feastday of St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful mother...
You probably don't know him, and his "saintly" pictures usually turn your stomach, but actually he is the patron saint of handgunners.....because he chased some thugs from a small town singlehanded...


The mercenaries' leader told Possenti that it would take more than just one monk with a handgun to make the mercenaries leave town. The saint pointed out to the mercenaries a lizard which was running across the road. Possenti shot the lizard right through the head, at which point the mercenaries decided that discretion was the better part of valor; they obeyed Possenti's orders to extinguish the fires they had started and to return the property they had stolen. They then fled the village, never to be heard from again.
