Some days, you just lazily wake up, knowing there is absolutely nothing that you absolutely have to do that day.
These days are few and far between for me, but I managed to get one on Monday. I was slightly harassed by my friends for not showing up to Zumba, but I’ve since gotten over it. 🙂
I was productive, however. When my friend Martin came over for a late breakfast, I decided that normal pancakes just wouldn’t cut it that day. So I got a little fancy in the kitchen.
Generally, when I do this, I don’t pay too much attention to what I’m doing and don’t write anything down. But you’re in luck, and, this time, I did.
I started with my favorite pancake recipe, from You
We found these pancakes to be moist and fluffy, with a medium pumpkin flavor. I preferred them with some Enjoy Life semi-sweet chocolate mega chunks. Martin preferred them without the chocolate. I think they’re kinda awesome, but I may be a little biased.
