Morning!

How is everyone today?

I'm good and happy since today is MH's Fri so he'll be home for a 3 day weekend and be able to help with Declan.

Re: Morning!

  • Good morning!  I think I may be getting David's cold.  It's too early to know for sure but my throat hurts a bit and my nose feels funny.  I'm sure it'll be in full force tomorrow when I have a bunch of crappy returns that I need to review.

    Other then that, David's cold seems to be pretty much gone and he is enjoying his McDonald's pancakes.  I know I'm a bad mom but I SUCK at making them and for $2 I know he'll eat them and I don't have to dirty any dishes.

  • Oh no I hope you're not getting David's cold! And there's nothing wrong with getting him McDonald's pancakes :)

  • I just find it odd that he'll eat their's and not mine.  I'm sure it has a lot to do with the fact that theirs seem a lot less dry compared to mine.  I seriously need to learn how to make them better.  I know it's not rocket science but each time I make them, they come out worse than before.  Oh well, I can make a mean french toast though.

  • Do you usually make them from a mix of from scratch? MH always makes the Bisquick pancakes and they are so yummy! The key is to turn them over when they start to get little bubbles on the edges.

  • Good morning, everyone!  I'm doing alright today, somewhat tired since we didn't get to bed until later than normal and my eyes are tired & dry this morning.

    I SWEAR by the Krusteaz mixes (although honestly all we've ever tried was the Fat Free Buttermilk mix.)  Add water, pour by like 1/4 cupfuls onto a hot griddle, flip like Kristin said when the bubbles rise through until browned on each side.  I think I usually use a little more water than they recommend, but that's because I don't like super dense pancakes.

    I made blueberry pancakes with them (just add some cinnamon & nutmeg with some fresh blueberries).  And also added in protein powder for decent protein.  BEST. MIX. EVER.  (IMO)

  • Morning!

    MH + 2 friends are over at our new place today paining so I can't wait to go over there after work and see our house not look like a box of crayons! :)

    Mel - I use the Complete kind and it's so easy. It did take me a while to get them just right.

  • Good morning!  I'm so glad this week is almost over.  This weekend will be hard (there will be a festival in my town in which is dedicated to my FIL) but I am excited to see all the family.  Next week is MH's 30th!  I think I may take that day off.
  • Morning!  I'm back from vacation and I must say it's nice to be home unfortunately I came back sick.  I was feeling fine and then all of a sudden I got the sore throat and a bad fever last night.  Still a little high this morning and now I've got a lot of drainage.  I'm glad it's only a 2 day work week but that just means it's going to be a busy 2 days.

  • Morning im leaving in a few for a meeting at the university, dreading it but i have to go. The walk across campus will be worse then the mtg is lol.

    We also use the complete kind, at least i think thats what we have its been a while. It does take a while to get the hang of it. Im with you Mel I can make french toast in my sleep, ill take that any day.

  • :Skipping through throwing confetti::

    I am so stinking excited I can't even stand it!! I am going to see if I can get pictures off the listing to post some for you guys-probably on my fb since most of you are on there-if not let me know and I will add you. The pictures do not do it justice. For once the pictures actually make it look smaller than it is. Once we can go back again I will take some pictures of my own.

    Oh and I use Bisquick as well. Although I did run out one day and made them from scratch with a recipe from my Betty Crocker cook book. It was pretty easy. I also wait for the little bubbles to come up and then flip them!

  • I do that too.  I think the problem is that towards the end the pan get's too hot.  Maybe I should try one of those griddle things that stay a constant temperature.  I
