pancakes

chalice is home from new york!
to celebrate we made pancakes for breakfast,
but they did not turn out very well.

they looked like this:
but three-dimensional and more arresting to one's sense of smell.

but they really DID look like two-sided feet
because,
for lack of more appropriate cookware,
we fixed 'em on a pan with ridges,
which i suppose was meant for meat.

they also did not taste very great,
but we are blaming that on the 1975 church cookbook recipe,
and not the baking powder mix-up.

the main point is that i am glad that my friend chalice is home for this week so that i could make pancakes with her, however unpancakelike those pancakes might be.

your post made me wonder why pancakes are called pancakes.

and then i thought about it and figured that they are cakes made in a pan. but even that dosen't make sense because omelettes don't suggest where they are made.

hm.

...and the whole time I was at our house thinking, "if all the girls were home I'd make them pancakes with mini chocolate chips in them"
