Pancake Gras

Happy paczkicakegras!

Sometimes when I give into the more severe episodes of anxiety I have, sales I convince myself I am utterly alone in the world and my feelings need to be fed.

UTTERLY ALONE IN THE WORLD

It is a perfect collision when these episodes interact with one or more eating-focused holidays. The English call today “Pancake Day”  but actually serve crepes. If pretending not to be French helps you sleep at night, I understand, and let’s carry on. Being a quarter Port Richmond consonant-enveloped Polish, I think of today as P?czki Day. Being a person who likes donuts and showing people her boobs, I also call today Mardi Gras.

I took myself to Biddy’s Tearoom because I saw on Facebooks that they were gonna be serving pancakes, and I ordered a Goat(s) Cheese and Watercress crepe. Pancake. It was one of the best crepes I’ve ever had! The caramelized onions were so very sweet and tangy, and I am not a girl who gets filled up easily, but I canceled what I thought were crystallized plans to get myself a dessert pancake. The lavender earl grey tea I had with it on a whim was lovely, as well. I lost my taste for Earl Grey after drinking four mugs of it in a row one strange evening an eon ago, but I was in the mood for something delicate, and the lavender sort of neutralizes the spiciness of the bergamot. It’s also not too floral! It hits a good balance. 

Look how goddamn cute Biddy’s is though:


They offer such cute things to go, as well, like homemade pork pies and scotch eggs. At one of the Norwich vintage fairs I had a haggis pie from Biddy’s pop-up cafe that was incredible! The wait staff are also super sweet and cute.

I did buy a gross donut or two or many from Gregg’s for later. Caramel cream! It’s Mardi Gras! After tonight I will give up giving things up for Lent for Lent.

I considered buying ALL THE ONESIES because really, what’s more important? A week’s worth of groceries or being able to dress like a pink unicorn? Everyone’s onesie game should be tight. Luckily my existential nausea overcame me again before I made it into the store.

  1. EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE IN THIS POST LOOKS LOVELY AND DELECTABLE LET ME PUT YOU ALL IN MY MOUF

    your hair especially looks glorious!

    Can so very relate to feeding my feelings; I recently fed mine with a bag of chocolate-covered pretzels and plate of Massaman curry. I suggest we get together on day and share our gloom, pretzels, curry, pancrepes (DO U SEE WHAT I DID THERE no ok i won't do it again), caramel cream doughnuts, etc. <3
