Who's Up for Brinner?

College Park United Methodist Church to host Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner.

What's brinner? That's breakfast for dinner, for those who don't watch much TV.

The College Park United Methodist Church is hosting a pancake dinner at 5 p.m. Tuesday. It's in honor of Shrove Tuesday, a Christian celebration.

People started making pancakes the day before the beginning of Lent hundreds of years ago, according to The Royal Gazette. The idea was to use up ingredients such as eggs and sugar which were restricted during Lent, the Gazette reported.
