how to make fancy style pan cakes...

Ingredients:

2 cups of flower
2 eggs
2 cups of MILK, you know the white stuff

Mix it together, drop it in a medium hot pan and spread it out with a spatula, if the pan cake breaks, add a bit more milk and try again.


Flambe:

2 x shots Barccadi 151
2 x shots Cointreau
nutmeg, cinnamon to taste
1 large can of pears in medium or heavy syrup

  • discard the syrup (or drink it...)
  • slice the pears
  • soak the pears in the Cointreau/Barcadi and add spices
  • wait 20 minutes
  • put it on a stoves of medium heat
  • wait 5 minutes
  • ignite the flambe with a LONG match (paper tissue works too...)
  • get a new haircut, short hair + flambe = good, long hair + flambe = bad...
  • keep tossing the pears so the alcohol burns evenly off, if clumsy take a spoon and just steer it, but you get less chicks in this way
  • serves to the pancakes hot with vanilla ice cream

If you are not fancy, serve apple sauce...



Snowshoeing in tahoe, well it's more difficult than it looks and hiking boots are defiantly the wrong shoes.

now I'm stuck at home with only wet boots and my dry shoes are in the office. Solution? Going to the office with bike shoes and picking up the spare shoes + spending the rest of the day reading at mishka's.

But I'm glad that the D200+17-55 F/2.8 are both weather sealed, they defiantly got there fair share of snow

(clumsy me)
