Do you observe “Pancake Tuesday”?
Here in Chicago, it’s Pączki Day! Yummy, very rich doughnuts filled with fruit or other filling.
My office normally provides cereal, fruit, bagels, etc, for breakfast, but today they made us pancakes. It’s been a long time since I’ve had pancakes.

No pancakes - Krapfen! And Faschingsdienstag is the last day to eat them… so I ate two yesterday.
We made a batch of buttermilk pancakes and a batch of pumpkin pancakes, with fruit and bacon and real maple syrup. It was yummy.
Shrove Tuesday is the day for a semla
