Does she not see how her childhood excess of massive stack of pancakes, āeat til we couldnāt eat pancakes no moreā (great English there, as always from our ābestsellingā author) is all clearly part of her issues with conflating food and love and obesity? Establishing this as a ātraditionā for her and Nini is just so unnecessary.
I associate Pancake Day with eating a lot of pancakes with my family, but it was more participatory and also there is excess and there is that pile she didā¦.. The calories in that leftover cheesy thing too, just wow.
