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.

An evening fry-up
There's nothing like a good old greasy fry up in the evening, it manages to taste totally different from how it does in the morning. Last night I was feeling particularly sorry for myself and when Mr P asked what I fancied eating I replied with sausage and egg.. so we had that.
Mr P made a gorgeous creation of sausages (pork and apple), egg, mushrooms, a potato rosti (perhaps my favourite part) and tomatoes. It was so so lovely. And then I drunk about a litre of hot orange squash, the perfect remedy for a rotten cold.
Today I went out for lunch with some colleagues to Nandos. On hearing where they were going I almost refused. I'm a bit of a Nandos snob you see, I don't understand why anyone would want to go to a restaurant where all they can eat is chicken - odd. You can surely have chicken and chips any day so on going to a restaurant I usually want to try something a bit different. Anyway, not wanting to be a bore I went along and was mildly surprised. I had a quarter chicken with chips and some corn on the cob.
The chicken was the star of the show, it was so so moist and really very nice. I'm not a huge fan of chicken being served on the bone, but I managed to get over that. The chips and corn on the cob were both pretty tasty, and I was as excited as a child on Christmas Eve about the free refills of soft-drinks. At over £2 I was hoping my beverage would at least be large, but on being given an empty glass I was slightly perturbed until I spotted the drinks counter with a choice of taps offering different drinks.
I have of course been visiting the toilet every ten minutes after the sheer volume of coca cola I consumed at lunch.
On another note I really fancy trying those new extra crunchy walkers crisps. I'm not sure how you can make crisps crunchier, but their ad campaign has obviously worked on me as I am extremely intrigued.
