Late to the Party.

February was great. It was filled with all sorts of foodie fun experiments. Here is just one of them! Now, I know Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) was on the 12th of February, which is why I've expressed in the title of this post it's delayed, but this is sort of worth holding out for! My housemate, who is a fancy photography student, took this beautiful photo of her amazing pancake creation! - Delicious crisp, yet fluffy pancakes (made with the greatest & simplest batter), coated in a thin layer of +Nutella chocolate spread, topped with sliced banana, chopped strawberries, and a handful of blueberries. How magic does that sound!? HOWEVER, my other housemate may have topped this... with her crazy, creative, collaboration... Pancake, coated in a thin layer of MARMITE, topped with cooked CHICKEN, and sprinkled with sliced ham & grated cheese. INSANE? Yes. But, surprisingly good! I kid you not. Try something different once in awhile, you never know. You may just discover something great!

Dream come true!!

Two days later: As mentioned in the 'debut post' it was expressed that I thought pancakes would be a nice breakfast to enjoy for the morning of 03/01/2012. To my amazement, I awoke that morning, went downstairs, made a pot of tea (obviously) and awaited for the usual discussion with my Mum about what to have for breakfast. My Mum stood in front of our kitchen cupboard and without even suggesting anything else prior, turned to me and said "I'm thinking pancakes... what do you think?". A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. My Mum has some how proved to me over the years that she is in some forms a mind reader. (Only, oddly, when it comes to food/meals.) She is and her abilities are pure genius. As you can imagine I was both ecstatic and over joyed. I am also entirely thankful that I even have the option of waking up in the morning and discussing options for breakfast. What a pleasure. (Also, in case you were wondering, we use Aunt Jemima Buttermilk Pancake mix, and accompany it with Aunt Jemima Maple Syrup. They're delicious! We however have to get this mix either from the states or the Caribbean. It's only because for some reason we're hopeless at making traditional 'English' pancakes. Plus, Aunt Jemima's are the best! I had mine with banana too! YUMMY.)
