Somewhere Else

You know how it is with the traveling type. We're never really anywhere for long.

Food

Experimental Chocolate Pancakes:

INGREDIENTS:

* 2 cups all-purpose flour, poorly measured
* 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg, slightly beaten
* 1 1/2 cups milk (some chocolate)
* 2 tablespoons melted butter
* ? additional chocolate milk
* 2 tablespoons (approx) chocolate syrup

PREPARATION:
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Except you don't have a sifter, so by sift I mean mix with a fork. In a separate bowl, combine egg and milk (note that you only have 1 cup of white milk, so add the rest in chocolate); add to flour mixture, stirring only until smooth. Blend in melted butter. Cook on a hot, greased griddle. Realize that they're too thick and biscuit-like for you, so add more chocolate milk. Stir until blended. Ugh. It's still too thick. Add more chocolate milk. Oh. That's perfect. Hey, you know what'd be interesting to try? Squirt some chocolate syrup into the middle of the bowl of batter. Stir gently about seven or eight times...just enough to swirl it around. Now cook. The chocolate ones won't bubble on the other side as a sign that it's ready, so you'll just have to use your pancake instincts.

Oh! You guys! I found a new toy! Look!

Here!


I'm calling this one the Almost Ships and Dip III list because I started listening to almost all of these people (except Guster and JMB) because of the cruise. But isn't it cool, this muxtape thing? It pleases me.

I might post things about the tracks later. Can't ever trust my blogging dedication though.
