survey: is this weird?

Image





Not the fact that I have a Saturday tradition of making and consuming M&M pancakes, but the fact that I need not deluge them in this sugary-cornstarchy-gooey-mess known as:









I mean, even if there are no M&M's in the pancakes, I like them without syrup. I definitely eat them without butter. Sometimes I like to dip them in syrup. But most of the time I abstain.

I have been disparaged in this matter. I need a little love.

Can I get an amen?

I'm sorry, but yes, you are weird. Who ever heard of pancakes without globs of butter and at least a cup and a half of warm, sweet syrup? My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I just decided to have pancakes for dinner (if I have enough flour).

Why not just eat bread, for crying out loud??

You know I'm just joking with you!

It's good to hear from you again, btw. I've been missing you. :)

Sweetpea ate them that way (sans anything) until she was about 4 or 5 and she wanted to try them the way I eat them (with butter and syrup). Boo-boo pretty much eats them that way.

Do you ever put peanut butter on yours. I sometimes like to snack on them later in the afternoon when they are cold, I spread some PB on them and roll them up. Yum!

When I make them with mini chocolate chips I eat them either plain or with some redi-whip, if I have it.

I'm with Lisa, I'm hungry now thinking about it!

hmm...Lisa, I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure I asked for 'amens', not 'nays'.
:-p
yes Malia, peanut butter makes an occasional appearance on my pancakes - with or without m&m's.

well...well...well
you finally got your link from my site, I am glad you are actually posting more than once a month.

as for dry pancakes, do what you want, I won't be able to make the funeral when you choke and gag on them. You were warned.

I was thinking you had gone AWOL. There is a reason not to put that gooey sugary crapola on your pancakes...that reason is called:

REaL MAPLE SYRUP

try it..trust me. life will look different, and we won't have to be giving you the heimlich resulting in some poor soul, lets call her Malia, being splattered with chewed pancake..

OK...are we agreed on this? Are you understanding this is NOT an amen? in fact, it may be a nema..

Nope, sorry, I'm with the naysayers on this one. I love you, but we'll never eat breakfast together. Guess we'll have to stick with imaginary coffee.

P.S. Yes, I blog now.

local Nashville girl turns 30...

...and the intersection of Murfreesboro Rd. and Thompson Ln. wins "No. 1 site for car accidents in Metro Nashville." Coincidence?? I think not. When something this great happens, everyone wants a piece of the action. Finally, the happiest day of the year has come. After a whole weekend of pre-party celebrating, my big day is here, and bigger than ever. I am thirty today. It's been a long road. I thirty year road. I worked hard to get here. Survived countless potential car accidents, dodged all possible life-threatening illnesses, and legions of unknown potential mortal hazards just to be here today. Not everyone can say that. I'm not even kidding actually. I feel really blessed to have made it this far; witnessing tragedy around me, but never really coming face to face with it. I'm not really sure why I get to lead such a charmed life while the world around seems to be crumbling. All I know is I'm thankful. Details to come on why this is the B-E-S-T birthday ...

no pressure over capuccino

This morning, my iPod played this song for me. My iPod has been playing this for me quite frequently. Weird considering it's on 'shuffle'. For some reason, my iPod likes this song. For some reason, I like this song. I have a special affinity for songs that reference Jesus and the Bible written by people who don't profess to be Christians (another great one is Dave Matthews' "A Christmas Song"). It's always interesting to see these figures from a secular point of view. I googled the lyrics this morning, because Alanis is Canadian :-p Some of the most important words were not what I previously thought they were. And now I like it even more. Disclaimer: I don't pretend to understand this song completely (especially the origin of the title), but I really like that it makes me think. Any intuitive comments about the meaning of this song will be rewarded with great awe. Side note: all the "90's" references, I think, are meant to convey ...

you are what you see

If you visit here regularly, you may (or may not) have noticed something. I don't blog about t.v. shows. This is because I don't really watch t.v. that much. Yes, I have one, and yes, I have cable. And yes, I do, on occasion, decide to sit down and relax by voluntarily turning off my brain and turning on that blackhole box. But I don't have a show . I don't want a show. I want to explain why. This post is dedicated to those of you out there who have a show, have too many shows, or think you need a show. And you all know I know you know who you all are... Top Ten reasons why you do not need a show: 10. You are what you see. This could be bad if you are watching - well anything. Unless you are watching your own reality t.v. show, and then that would be, just, meta - and therefore redundant, and also a little bit egomaniacal . But I digress. 9. Studies show watching teevee produces less brain activity than sleeping. It also has an adverse affect on your ability to discern...
