General / Lent
« on: February 21, 2005, 10:28:33 pm »

Just for final clarification, if anyone is still unsure:


Lent is the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday (this year on 9th February and 27th March respectively), and is 46 days long, as stated by sillyyank.  It is, as said, to represent the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert, and is set in the run-up to Easter to help calm and prepare for the Easter celebration.  The reason for the difference in nuber of days between the actual length (46 days) and the symbolic length (40 days) is because Lent was devised during a historical period when Sundays were feast days.  Thus, because Sundays would have been the one day everyone ate well, Lent was "suspended" on the six Sundays during Lent, so to make sure that the actual period of abstinence wasn't lost an extra 6 days were added to the period.
This means, then, that on all of the Sundays between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday you may consume/do what you have given up, just for the day, and it doesn't matter, because those days don't count.


I hope that clears it all up.

In London (ie the whole of London including the central areas) there were only 2 snow days during the entire 20th Century.  The odds seem pretty low!

That is just harsh and scathing.


I hope the people from cadbury come and suffocate you in the night with a large chocolate.


Not really, I'm essentially a nice person!  And I can just about bear people who dislike coffee creams, so you're safe...for now.


Have a look around the site though, you may find some interesting goodies!

All this support here is very nice, and thank you to those who have mentioned their love of coffee creams, but really i need you to be signing up to the association, so that we can get coffee creams back into our chocolate boxes.

I have noticed, as I'm sure have many of you, that the noble coffee cream has all but disappeared from our selection boxes and family size tins.  In my mind, the time has come for a u-turn, for the chocolate companies to re-embrace this heavenly treat.


To this extent, I have formed an association to attempt to force these companies to re-introduce coffee creams.  The Coffee Creams Association got off to a rather slow and uneventful start last year, but now I have discovered the kind and honest, chocolate-laving people who frequent this forum, and I feel you will be interested in my plight.


I have read many entries on this forum hinting of longing for coffee creams, attempts to find substitutes, and expressions of anger at their absence.  Well now you can do something about it.


Visit http://www.coffeecreams.tk/ and discover people who share your interest, recipes for you to make your own coffee creams, a growing member base (slowly unfortunately, but why should I lie to you, we are all friends here) and also the chance to put coffee creams back in the boxes.


I understand that many people do not like coffee creams, and I am not attempting to convert those people, but those who long to be able to walk up to a box of chocolates and be everyone's favourite person because they ate the coffee cream should be able to, and this is my dream.


Please don't feel that by visiting the site you must become a member, just feel free to browse the site at you own pleasure.  Also, please visit even if you don't particularly like coffee creams, you may decide that we have embarked on a worthwhile journey and wish to join us.  If so, you are welcome to.  Everyone is welcome in the C.C.A.!
