Pancakes!

Talk about things we eat. One of the funniest things "Only in York County" things that ever happened to me was when I was working at Weight Watchers on a Saturday morning last year. We had a HUGE rush of people right as we opened the door.

Well, of course, I wondered where the fire was. One woman was only too glad to tell me. "Oh, we're going to the big pancake jamboree, at the fairgrounds, and we wanted to weigh in first!"

Yes, all my lovely Weight Watchers members were going to go stuff themselves with pancakes. My biggest regret? That I couldn't join them! :)

All this comes up because, apparently, Feb. 21 is National Pancake Day. We've gotten several pancake breakfast news releases (and, of course, you remember the recent craziness at Denny's), but here's one that caught my attention; it's a little different.

St. Stephen's U.C.C. will hold a "heart-y" pancake breakfast 7 to 10 a.m. Feb. 21 at the church. There will also be a free blood-pressure screening and literature from the American Heart Association.

The breakfast includes all-you-can-eat pancakes, two sausage links and coffee, tea or milk. The cost is $5.

For details, call 854-6736 or e-mail ststephensucc@verizon.net.

slam3.jpgThing I'm hearing the most about today, both in the newsroom and online: Denny's giving away free Grand Slam breakfasts today between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m.

By 10 a.m., the one on Route 30 in York had given away 750. Denny's had expected to give away about 2 million nationwide.

As of the final total, 1,274 were given away in York.

Do you know what that means?

2,548 eggs
2,548 pieces of bacon
2,548 pieces of sausage
2,548 pancakes

All for free. To York County. At a value of $7,631.26, based on the regular price of $5.99 per Grand Slam.

Wow. That's super-cool.
