We were out of town for Christmas, so we had it a little late. :)
A lovely brunch of mimosas, hashbrown casserole and Brunch Egg Casserole.
(I forgot to snap a picture before I started serving!)
I also got Twain’s Feast for Christmas!
I hope everyone had wonderful holidays and a fantastic New Year. In 2011, hopefully you’ll see more posts!
Made pancakes the other night, and for what I swear is the first time, they were terrific. I’ve had problems in the past with pancakes for two reasons: First, I didn’t have a decent griddle pan for them. The pan I used is roughly omelet sized and was really not conducive to pancake making. That has been fixed by acquiring a lovely 12″ non-stick griddle pan, from my local hardware store. (They have an amazing kitchen gadget selection.) I also have a weird problem with an inability to properly pour pancake batter. I’m serious – it should be so easy, and yet, I always make a mess of it. I’d seen a pancake dispenser in a diner once and thought “damn, I need one of those!” but I never really saw one anywhere. And then I got my Avon catalogue… HOLY CRAP, BATMAN, A PANCAKE DISPENSER!!
I was able to make perfectly sized pancakes that turned out wonderfully! An excellent breakfast for dinner. It comes apart easily for cleanup and does a great job controlling the amount of pancake batter hitting the griddle. I love it.
If you want a pancake dispenser like this, Avon has it. I am also an Avon rep, so if you want to order it from my site, that would be kinda awesome, too. Just search on “pancake dispense” – and while you’re at it, browse the “Gifts for Home” section – they’re really rocking the cute kitchen stuff these days.
