SUNSETS & PANCAKES
January 16, 2009 in Uncategorized
I had such a great day yesterday. 5yr old
Lots of eggs
Little fingers grating the nutmeg
We like to use peanut oil for our pancakes
A sprinkle of cinnamon sugar, a dot of butter &
a squeeze of lemon juice
When brownieboy got home from work we decided to go for a nice walk and watch the sunset. We ended up at Longbeach at Kommetjie. I took a couple of nice photos, and I am sure I saw Jasmine’s pawprints all over that beach 
) It was a bit windy, the sunset was not too spectacular as there was quite a lot of cloud cover but the walk was invigorating and refreshing….in other words, chilly )
Granny’s beach & a cloudy sunset
On our return I made a delicious healthy chicken stir fry which we had for our supper and then for dessert for brownieboy I made a pancake which I served with rum flambéed bananas and a scoop of ice cream. And no, browniegirl did not partake of that particular delight. It is rather difficult having a very slim husband who is forever looking for a bit of weight to put on while you are trying to lose some. It never seems to find the right target in this household…..Remember that product called Weight-On from the 70’s & 80’s??? I cannot tell you how much of that stuff the man was fed but he is still looking for that elusive weight! We all know why he can never find it….yep, because I have already found every ounce of it!!
Anyway for those who would like to try the pancake with rum flambéed bananas….here is how
Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan, add one banana cut into rounds. Sprinkle with some treacle sugar and add a squeeze of lemon juice, just the bottled variety works well. Sauté gently until banana is lightly browned and the sugar has caramelized. You can add this to your pancake just as is, if preferred otherwise pour over a glug of rum, stand back a bit and ignite…….jiggle the pan around on the heat until the flames have disappeared.
Place one pancake onto a dinner plate, pour the banana and syrup onto one quarter of the pancake allowing some to fall onto the plate as well.
Fold the pancake in half over the bananas and then in half again
to make one quarter
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
YUMMY!!!!
Enjoy,

Looks like you have a chef in the making there! Could I use another fruit in place of the ‘nanas – I’m intolerant of them, can’t smell them or eat them without hurling my heart out.

Hmmm Goodie, I love pancakes, as you know, as you were invited to join me on rainy day a few months ago. BUT I do not like cook, fried or flambed banana, mine must be half green then only do I eat them, mind you all my fruit must be firm not at all mushy, ugh.
I love Ty bandana that he wears when he cooks/bakes. Sweet child.
I hope that you have a lovely weekend my dear Sista.
Lots of hugs

Oh bugger, now I want pancakes for breakfast. I KNEW I should have bought eggs when I stopped at the shop yesterday. As to the flambe version: sounds divine but her royal laziness here will wait for someone else to do the intricate stuff for her! Tyler’s a goodlooking kid, btw. Oh, AND I liked the beach photos.

sideview said on January 17, 2009

sideview said on January 17, 2009
you are so horrid about my 1 savanna that I have been in tears for the last few hours ;~)
actually i have been drinking lots of water all week, and wonder if this isn’t just a get rid of toxins headache that has finally found me
of course it may be a “don’t get on with the sewing and embroidery” kind of headache – lol

) Other fruit will do well in this. See my reply to half-pint. It is a Sunflower Fund bandana that I bought…he prefers to wear it in winter when its chilly but I tell him its for cleanliness in the kitchen so he wears it under duress hehe. Hope you are having a super weekend too xxx

Cooking up a storm and then risking being out in one!
Those goodies look so deliciious I am (almost) tempted to stray into that strange land called a kitchen and try some!

LOL!!! You are so funny. I do think, though, that the water could be responsible in that it is flushing out toxins. As long as you are eating properly…….of course it could be eye and neck strain from all the sewing and embroidery

Shame on you……you had your turn with cuppicakes now its Bunns turn with pancakes
sideview said on January 18, 2009
that dress just was not meant to be for this occasion. so what, I’ll still be there in another outfit, and still have fun, and that’s all that really counts.
when i can get back to the plaza to replace the panel material I’ll complete it for another occasion.
and if the material is all gone, i’ll make it into a fancy top, and have enough left for a cami as well.

I think most people enjoy pancakes, they can be consumed in so many guises…but not many like to make them. They are really easy to make though….
