Rationalisation

Waste is a terrible thing.

I mean, what would have happened if I hadn't eaten all that flour, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce tonight? It would have rotted in the cupboard all through Lent!

I mean I tried to give them a chance to stay fresh by buying all the ingredients this evening, but when I got home and read how long lent actually lasts in my "Hungry Man's Guide to the Tastiest Religious Festivals" I realised that it was a pointless gesture. I had to make all those pancakes tonight. And then eat them.
