Today, March 8th is Pancake Day 2011!

Or instead of Pancake Day the true name in its religious origins is Shrove Tuesday or, if you are in Iceland – Bursting Day! Indeed I am sure that is how many of us feel after Pancake Day!

Shrove Tuesday is considered as a last feast of all the traditional food stuffs (fat, butter and eggs) not allowed during the Christian festival of Lent which runs from Ash Wednesday (day after Shrove Tuesday) until Easter Sunday.

So, lets move onto pancake fillings!

Our fun filling suggestions.

1. Break out the smarties!  
   Once your pancake is cooked before tipping out of the frying pan drop a few smarties onto the pancake to commence melting. Tip pancake onto a plate and roll – you’ll get a lovely multi colour chocolate goo filling to your pancake.

 

2. Chocolate buttons anyone?
   As above for the Smarties but you’ll have a pure chocolate filling. Yum!

 

3. Chocolate orange (mmmm a favourite of mine)
   Same as above but for all you adults you can always add a little Cointreau for something special.

 

4. Banana & Chocolate
   Melt the chocolate, lay out the pancake on a plate and add cut up banana.

 

5. Strawberries & Whipped Cream
   Cook pancakes and once on the plate add whipped cream and strawberries before folding.

 

6. Mixed Berries
   You can either warm up berries with a little sugar and then add to your pancake or fill will ice cream and cold berries.

 

7. Pear and Dark chocolate
   Dreamy combination of chocolate and pears, why not top with some chopped nuts to give that gooey filling some crunch.

 

8. Ice Cream Surprise
   Fill a pancake with a scoop of ice cream; go with one of those expensive branded tubs for something really amazing.

 

9. Classic Lemon and Sugar
   Make your pancakes and squeeze a little lemon and a sprinkling of sugar.

 

10. Go Nutty with Maple Syrup  
    Once your pancake is cooked, why not add some maple syrup to the filling? You could even add pecans and ice cream if you like!

Your options are endless!

I will be flipping pancakes with my son this evening and I will share some pics with you, we would love to see yours too!

Good day!

I just received our Cushi Tush Baby Seat for our 5 month old baby Charlie. I am really satisfied with it even just using it for a day.

Me and my husband are looking for a perfect seat for her, with a low budget we must be really careful on buying one with good quality that will last and a good investment for our baby. I’ve seen this product about a month ago and it really caught my eye. It can be portable going to the in-laws, going to the park for picnics and to the garden for barbeques to make the most of the sun. Kinda having second thoughts at first coz my husband wants us to have a highchair for her but i’ve been really keen on buying this product. I have been researching online for it’s benefits and reviews.

My baby is very much aware with her surroundings that’s why she never settles much in one place, she kept on fussing and gets bored easily so we have to think of ways to entertain her the whole day when she’s not sleeping or feeding. Then my husband bought this bouncy chair but Charlie does’nt really want to be strapped on and she can’t really settle in it beacause of her reclining position. Which is a complete waste of money if we could’ve bought an expensive one. So we just go in our old ways of entertaining her and taking turns doing it when she tires one of us out. She just sits on our lap and tummy and it’s a rare thing for me and my husband to have our dinners together.

So, we’ve decided on trying out this product (actually I decided to buy it).

Since we got the Cushi Tush baby seat today i’ve seen a big difference and I’m hopeful that it will be better for Charlie and for me and my husband. She sat in there for a good hour while watch the telly and when her daddy is watching the footy i’ve let her sit in there to play with her toys or feeding her favorite fruit pots. Aside from the other benefits that we know Cushi Tush can do to my baby, another thing that i can add is now me and my husband can have our dinners together while she’s sitting in her Cushi Tush playing with her toy.

I have recommended it to one of my mummy to be friend in the US and will recommend it to other mummies and mummies to be. I have shared one of her first Cushi Tush experience photo on your facebook page.

Best Regards,

Rosanne Ransom and Charlotte Ruth Ransom(Charlie)

Dear Sir/Madam,

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with the Cushi Tush baby seat. I brought it for my son to use as a feeding chair, and I am very very happy with it.

The most impressive thing about it is the position it holds my son in, he has a nice straight back and is very comfortable and secure.

I tried a Summer Super Seat, thinking ‘Ooo, it’s got all those toys on it, that’ll be good’ but I was horrified at the sitting position it held my son in. He was slouched and not at all supported on the upper back. He wasn’t even in it two minutes and he started arching his back to get out. Plus it took up a lot of space. I didn’t even bother setting up the toys on it as its going straight back to Argos!

I also love how light and portable the Cushi Tush is, we took it to a friend’s party the other day, as it’s just so easy to sling in the back of the car…and you can sling it. It looks like it’s made of polystyrene, so it looks like it shouldn’t last 5 minutes, but it’s so tough.

I love all the colours you can get too….actually that’s a lie, as I hate the fact there were so many colours to choose from, it took me forever to choose one!

My son loves it too and gets so excited when he’s in it. I haven’t started weaning him yet, so he’s not used it as a feeding chair, but his bowl and beaker fit on it just fine (only the beaker fits on the Super Seat) so I know we’ll have no problems.

Attached is a picture of him in his chair, like I said I haven’t started feeding him in it yet, but it looks like he already knows what to do!

Thanks again for a great product! I’m going to recommend it to all my Mummy friends and hope they haven’t already brought the Bumbo that the Health visitor said to get…hmmm, maybe I should tell her about the Cushi Tush too.

Kind Regards

Lorna and Nate

Mother to 11 month old Darcie, Francessca has wrote us a Cushi Tush Review.

“It provides a safe and secure seat for your child It works by securing your child in the seat using a removable tray, negating the need for straps. It’s aimed at children from 3 months (when a baby can hold its own head up) to approx 18 months. Darcie was happy to sit in the chair for meal times as well as to play with her toys on the tray.

At first glance the material looks weak, however I found it to be quite durable. It is a very lightweight and portable piece of equipment which is very convenient for busy parents and carers around the house. Being so light weight it is great for taking round to friends, family and on holiday as it is so easy to transport.”

The Cushi Tush Baby Seat comes in a variety of colours and patterns and is made locally in Northampton.

This is the latest review for the Cushi Tush which was test driven for Northampton Child Magazine.
