PANCAKES
21 jan 2006
an OMGSNAX! special edition

i've never made pancakes before. this is b/c i really really hate pancakes. waffles? delicious. pancakes? no. i understand that they are the same recipe, so i assume it's a texture thing, but honestly? i don't know.

so by the time daniel got out of the studio & over to my house tonight, it was 930pm & we were about to start another round of a favorite OMGSNAX! household pasttime, namely: "what do you want for dinner?" "i don't know, what do YOU want?" i made it known that, after last night's squash soup debacle, i wanted some squash ravioli; daniel said he'd just starve, & then decided that pancakes sounded delicious -- & since i actually have both milk & eggs in the fridge right now (a rarity, as i don't drink milk & barely eat eggs), i quickly agreed & then roped him into going to Whole Foods with me to get our respective dinners. here is our story:

INGREDIENTS
2 cups pancake mix (Whole Foods brand)
2T melted butter or vegetable oil
2 cups milk
2 eggs

METHOD
combine ingredients. heat skillet or griddle. make pancakes. serve.

DEVIATIONS & OBSERVATIONS
so i guess pretty much everyone knows how to make pancakes except me. get off my case. i've made latkes before, which, for the uninitiated, are potato pancakes, so it's not as if i don't get the general concept. i basically made the batter according to the directions, & then daniel did most of the actual pancake making. nothing too exciting. we took photos. yargh.
