St. Andrew's Presbyterian Pancake Supper

Shrove Tuesday has come and gone, luckily we managed to hit one of the many pancake suppers.

It's hard to give directions to a church or church hall in Lunenburg, there are so many! Luckily, I had a vague idea where this church hall was located, we found it without too much trouble.

Shortly after we were seated, our plates of pancakes and sausages arrived. Pretty simple, 2 pancakes and 3 breakfast sausages. Sadly, my camera's lens was fogged up so I couldn't get pictures of the plate. But, I did manage to get some shots from the kitchen!


Sorry folks, you can run but you can't hide from my camera! ^_^

While I was in the kitchen, I managed to also get a shot of the pancakes on the griddle:


The tables in the hall were arranged a little too tightly....Our table kept getting knocked about every time someone tried to walk past it. Somehow, none of the liquids on our table spilled...

I thought pancakes, sausages and tea or coffee were the extent of the supper. But, oh, no....there was dessert as well! Sorry pancreas, time for some insulin shock!





A delectable way to end the evening!
