Does she not see how her childhood excess of massive stack of pancakes, “eat til we couldn’t eat pancakes no more” (great English there, as always from our ‘bestselling’ author) is all clearly part of her issues with conflating food and love and obesity? Establishing this as a ‘tradition’ 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 did….. The calories in that leftover cheesy thing too, just wow.
