Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I fancied pancakes the other week, so I made a batter without following a recipe because I didn't have one. It worked fine though and the pancakes were very tasty. But I fancied finding a recipe for the thicker american-style pancakes, mostly because the only measuring stuff I own is a set of US standard cups, so recipes that use that are good for mice :) I found the perfect recipe on www.allrecipes.com and I tried them out last night.

OM NOM NOM NOM!!

DEEE-licious!

I had one with the traditional sugar and lemon and two with chocolate - I just pressed a square of Galaxy chocolate onto each one when they were fresh out of the pan and the residual heat soften it beautiful so it was all melty and tasty :) And the good thing is the batter will make more pancakes than I can eat in a sitting so I had batter for today too. Just scoffed another batch. Lovely!

So far today, I've done some kitchen tidying/cleaning, paid the mortgage, watched the football and spent far too much time poking Facebook. It worries me how addictive that is. Must prise self off!...later....:D

I went shopping last night (pay day! Yay!) and I have suitable snack food for the SuperBowl tomorrow. It's a tradition that I MUST have loaded potato skins and so I have ;) I usually also have pizza but have skipped it this time as I decided to buy other snack food instead. As for who I want to win, well, with all respect to e_musings, I'm kinda rooting for the Cards. However, I'll be thrilled for her if the Steelers win (which I think they will, to be honest, I think they're the stronger team). Either way, I'm hoping for a great game! I've taken Monday morning off work so I can stay up late to watch the whole thing! Hee :D

I foresee a phone call to Sky technical support - my digibox is now refusing to display subtitles correctly, despite several hard resets. *groans* I hope it's something they can fix over the phone, I can't afford a £60 call out. :(
