thinking back to Tuesday’s pancake supper…
besides the lovely pancakes, I made a potato pancake with the last little bit of batter to which I added a shredded potato…
topped it with sour cream and a slice of bacon…
this continues to be my favourite pancake;-)…

yesterday morning I started prepping for supper…
I sliced strawberries and then added sugar to macerate them…
later in the day I pulled out the pancake recipe from a well-worn cookbook and got the dry ingredients ready…
once my housemate brought home milk, I finished the mix and started cooking…
microwaved some bacon on the side and whipped the cream…
the first batch of pancakes came out perfectly… mine came from the second batch and may have been a bit darker, lol…
what a delicious dinner;-)…

my daughter came to town and was here for about 12 hours between Saturday and Sunday…
she was passing through, helping a friend drive from B.C. to Ontario… the friend, her dad, and their dog spent the night with us…
we had supper when they arrived, enjoyed some garden time that evening and the next morning and then they headed off after breakfast;-)…
both meals were requested and it was fun to make her favourite macaroni and cheese and satisfy her friend’s desire for pancakes…
such a treat to see her and meet this friend who I’ve heard much about, but never had the opportunity to meet…
it was a whirlwind…

had a relaxing and productive day…
after finding another skein of wool, I finished (again) my little throw, lol… it is a good size now and will keep me warm on cold days in the den…
followed by pancakes and chicken livers ordered in for my lunch (and supper)…
then I had a lovely time taking photos of some of the roses…
ended the afternoon reading in the warm sunlight in the living room…

this week was Shrove Tuesday and I decided to make pancakes… I sort of followed my recipe, but cut it back by two-thirds and adapted the ingredients…
took the page from my new cookbook and stuck it up on the message board so I could read it easily…
as I’ve typed the recipes, for many of them I’ve added two sets of quantities so there is less likelihood of messing up the ingredients… I will redo this one with the smaller amount for next time, lol…
I used to make this recipe for the family and would take the last few tablespoons to mix with grated potatoes to make potato pancakes for me…
worked out well with the adjustments and they were delicious…
usually I’d use sour cream, but this time I used Greek yogurt and it worked well…
there were a few pancakes left for breakfast;-)…

had a lovely lunch at a new restaurant down the street from the office…
met with a good friend and had a great visit while we caught up on our lives…
saw some great pictures of a recent trip and enjoyed a delicious meal…
on my way home after work I picked up bacon to go with the pancakes I made for my dinner for Shrove Tuesday…
last night I dug out the pancake recipe that we’ve used for forty years and sent it off to my daughter, so it was all ready for me tonight… I did add whole wheat flour to the recipe… came out pretty good…
