Have You Had Your Pancakes for Today?

16 years ago

I had wheat and honey pancakes and two strips of bacon and a cup of hot tea. Is anyone else planning on pancakes sometime today?

Yes, we'll have our pancakes for supper tonight! I don't know if we'll be having bacon or sausage with them tho.
We'll be having blueberry pancakes, tho. I froze pounds and pounds of them.

Maybe waffles tomorrow, but no pancakes in the immediate future.

Hello everyone, i have been so busy have not had time to write. I finally finished the second bed,and spent the weekend looking for different types of compost. I only found three,all the rest are basically the same in Florida at least around here. I did find one Blueberry bush ,YEAH ,seems healthy... I changed the soil and transplanted to a bigger pot I have it in the morning sun and afternoon shade we will see. I planted some watermelon in 2 of the block cells as an experiment they are growing quick and seem happy.. I planted some tomatoes in containers and have them next to the blueberries.I also planted an herb garden in 2 containers i had for awhile they contain, Rosemary,basil,parsley,thyme,oregano,also some spearmint and peppermint. Within 2 days the Bugs have located and began thier attack,whiteflies and mites i belive..... i have been holding them off with palmolive and water. A friend told me ivory soap 2 tblespoons mixed in 1 quart warm water or liquid castile soap same mix,works well I'll try it.... I have to get the soil in the beds this weekend and finish mulching around the beds...I kickin around with idea of micro sprinkler sytem on a timer.They are fairly inexpensive and would work well with my goofy schedule. I have not recieved my worms yet but the compost pile seems to be doing well.Guess i'll have to call uncle Jim's and see what the delay is.. Almost forgot i ordered my muscadine grapes they will be here in Oct,along time to wait but i need to prepare the soil anyway so it worrks out well.. Glad i got the time to share and be part of your gardens Good luck to all and Happy Gardening...

Have you had yours, lately? I did, today!

I wish I had read this 6 hours ago! I had a hankering for a burger... never thought of chili but today would have been perfect. Called a friend and we were going to go to Chili's or Red Robin and settled on Red Robin. Then my van wouldn't start - battery wasn't up to it. Surprised me because it had warmed up to a sweltering -9Â° and old "Vanna" always starts like the champ she is. So put the booster on there, fired it up. Had trouble keeping it running. I feared gasline freeze. Once running, I let it run for a while to charge the battery, maybe thaw the fuel line a bit and then thought I'd shut it off and make sure it'd start, and make sure the battery was holding a charge. It didn't. Booster back on. I was determined to get a burger so I was going with or without a charged battery. Started it up and got over there in time for an A1 Peppercorn burger and it was great. Wish I had thought about the chili burger! Oh, I took the booster/charger with me in case it wouldn't start. Parked close to an outdoor outlet, just in case, but Vanna fired up for me when I left. It hit me on the way home that in this frigid week, I was driving with the defroster on full, headlights on, rear window defroster and probably the radio too. So there's no way the alternator could keep up with charging that poor thing's battery! Didn't even think about that! So, now I'll keep it in mind. One of those DUH moments... Course now it's going up to about 30Â° over the weekend. Anyway, back to the topic. I like my chili THICK! None of this watery, soupy stuff for me, I want man-food. Something to sink my teeth into. So thick you don't use a spoon, use club crackers, bacon thins or chicken in a biscuit and scoop that stuff up and shovel it in. Not overly seasoned but it must have a bit of a zing, lots of meat, and yes, heresy to some but I want kidney beans! Occasionally some crusty garlic bread on the side, but normally, crackers. Just another thing I don't get anywhere near enough of lately!!! ;)

Have your painted cabinets chipped & how long have you had them?
Q
Comments (1)
My Plain & Fancy cabinets are 10 now. Factory spray painted. This Old House did a show on P&F focusing on the painted surface which seems to be especially durable. On the show they were installing white cabinets. Mine are a butter color. The only areas of wear is on the edge and knob of the garbage pull out and on the handle of the dishwasher -- I had purchased a handle from Lee Valley and sent it to them for spray painting. This is wear and it's the type people pay to get on painted furniture. No chipping whatsoever and no separation in the seams either. We are in upstate NY so we have similar temperature extremes as New England. No idea if P&F has changed their manufacturing in the last few years. There was a poster on here with a huge rant on them but I've been very happy with the quality. Kompy, who's a KD, did a gorgeous white kitchen a year or so ago with P&F. You might consult her as well if they interest you.

BLTs are one of those things, I can take 'em or leave 'em. I never found them to be overly satisfying. Nice snack, yes, something with something else, yes and when you do it, do it right. Lots of bacon! I have been eating a lot of grilled cheese with bacon sandwiches lately. Got a great deal on some fabulous bacon and haven't had grilled cheese for a long time. Tonight I had turkey & swiss on lightly buttered multigrain toast with some mac salad and cole slaw. Refreshing on this warm, humid day.

hubby makes his own waffle mix from scratch, so every morning, he makes us waffles, maple syrup, bananas, and strawberries. With the freeze in Florida we are having a time finding strawberries in the store. Sometimes, I will cook a moringstar sausage with my waffle.

Many of the churches in this area have pancake suppers on Shrove Tuesday, just before Lent begins (forty one days till Easter) - I'm heading out to one shortly ... then to an investment meeting.

Don't you wish that you were in New Orleans, for Mardi Gras?

It's snowing, here - but they don't have enough, in the Olympic venue near Vancouver, but they had enough at Whistler, though they got some fresh powder overnight, and they want the packed stuff for downhill skiing.

I had cabbage/kraut/mushroom filled crepes that had been breaded and fried for lunch (with sour cream...mmmm!).

And for dinner, I made "rolled pancakes"...fried kielbasa and real smoked bacon on the side. I got the kind that has the rind on it, which gets all crunchy and good, Les Oreilles du Christ, for those French Canadians out there LOL.

My mom raised us on "French Pancakes" - thicker than a crepe but not fluffy like an American pancake. What I make is a crepe recipe. The flavour is the same (and I cook them on BOTH sides, with one side being golden brown thank you), they are just thinner. If DH makes pancakes, it is buttermilk fluffy things. If I make them, it is crepes. Since I roll them for DD, the name "rolled pancakes" was born!

I am no longer Catholic/Christian, but something about having pancakes for dinner on Shrove Tuesday is like a comfort thing. I like food traditions, even if they aren't my own ;)

I made pancakes for supper tonight, and put money in the kids' ones. Coins in the pancakes on Shrove Tuesday was a tradition when I was little, and I've been doing it with my kids for 4 years now, I guess.

Nope, no pancakes here tonight but Nicole just brought back an old memory for me. My Mom would bake us our birthday cakes with coins in them. She wrapped them in waxed paper and baked them into the cake. I grew up in Canada.....is this a Canadian thing? I haven't thought about that for years. Thanks Nicole :-)
Another thought, Mom was raised Catholic....maybe that's where it came from. ?
