🥞 Happy Shrove Tuesday! 🥞
Our wonderful Trafalgar Residents have been busy flipping, whisking, and sizzling their way into the tastiest day of the year. From golden pancakes 🥞to creative toppings and cherished family traditions, the kitchen has been filled with laughter and the most delicious aromas. 😋💛
It’s always a joy to see everyone come together, share stories, and enjoy a warm treat made with love. Whether you prefer the classic lemon and sugar combo or a stack piled high with juicy berries, today is all about good food and great company. 🍋🍓
Here’s to community, connection, and a whole lot of pancakes. 🥞😋😋😋
THANK YOU to the many Residents who attended, helped, supplied ingredients, or rolled up their sleeves to cook. Your enthusiasm and teamwork made the day extra special. 🥞💛
