Pancakes

I just had three pancakes.

One with bacon, mushrooms, cheese and tomato and the other two with sugar and lemon (well lime actually).

Oh and just to make it very clear I'm not talking about those horrible stodgy fat American ones, I'm talking the deliciously thin crepe type.

Whilst chowing down on the tasty batteryness I was pondering the pros about pancakes and realised there are many. So the lovely woman that I am I decided to share them with you.

1) They are so damn easy to make, well once the measuring is out of the way (which I usually leave to Mr P's expert eye).

2) No need for any fancy ingredients - the ingredients are just things you would normally just have in the cupboard, milk, eggs and flour, how much simplier could it be. Plus you can swap around ingredients, different types of flour, or add chocolate chips to the batter, etc.

3) They can provide hours of fun - tossing of said item is brilliant fun for all the family.

4) You can basically put anything on them - sweet, savoury, salty, sour. I dont think I've ever had a pancake I didnt like. I am always particularly enamoured by those doused with alcohol and set on fire.

5) Oh and another thing, they taste bloody amazing!

Pancakes are definitely not just for Shrove Tuesday... they're for life.

Hangover pancakes

Mr P and I eventually had our beef skewers, which were nice but didn't quite live up to my high expectations. They were a little bit too spicy and after consuming four glasses of wine and a dairylea dunker I didn't appreciate them quite as much as I should hav done. After eating half of my pitta filled with meaty goodness I fell asleep watching big brother and woke up this morning with a sore head and a mouth as dry as a sock with a stale taste of raw onion - lovely.

Today's meals hav so far been yum. Me P made pancakes this morning, the lovely thin ones not the fat small American ones, which I had drenched in freshly squeezed lemon juice and caster sugar - perfect.

Then for lunch we had one of those lunches that remind me of being on holiday - we has fresh bread with chorizo, cheese, humous, pitta bread and garlic and chilli olives all washed down with a glass of red, I felt just like we were in Spain, and in a weeks time we'll be there to sample to likes of Rioja and paella. Bliss.

Im making Mr P dinner tonight hopefully some time before x factor starts, so I'll let you know how that goes.
