pancakes

We've been having a bit of fun putting extras into our pancakes lately. Last week we tried mini chocolate chips, and this week it was mini m&m's. This is what the batter looked like most of the way through the process:


These are a few of our "rainbow" pancakes.


The final result wasn't as rainbow as the kids would have liked:

And a happy little girl:

It's hard to get a good pic of Freida's "real" face. I think this is a good representation.

edited to add the funny part: (how can someone forget the funny part???)

Man and I were talking about the results of the m&m pancakes.

Man: Maybe we should try normal sized m&m's next time. These mini m&m's are a tease more than anything.

Me: That's an interesting idea. And maybe add them to each pancake so we don't get gray goop by the end.

Man: Yeah... actually, what would you think of something like peanut butter m&m's?

Me: ....you're going to get in trouble for suggesting them.

Man: [confused] Why?

Me: Don't you know that anyone who comes up with a tasty, fattening food item that a woman would love to eat gets in trouble? It's just a fact of life.

Man: Well, too bad. I think it'd be worth a try. Just have some self control.

Me: [dreaming of PB m&m pancakes] Maybe with that PB ice cream topping over the top instead of syrup...

Man: Wow, that's starting to sound gross actually.

And he's right. Too rich. The mini m&m pancakes were quite tasty despite dying our insides.

And don't miss my new pancake mix poll over to the right!

Zit poll results: 7 of you said that it's worse to do a bad coverup of a nasty zit vs. the 3 who said to just let the zip exist au natural. Sorry, I'm sticking with my makeup dabs even if it's only half effective... it's a mental thing.
