Yeah, I tried to be fashionable today - but I'm telling you, fashion comes with a price. In this case freezing arms. Today I tried to sport a v-neck tee with a scarf for warmth. Well, my neck is very toasty. I look pretty good. But, my arms? Ice blocks. So, as I type the feeling in my fingers is slipping away...sort of this numb typing outdoors in January feeling.
So, off with the scarf. Back to the sweatshirt. I knew this would happen. No biggie fries.

Happy Earth Day from me & the World Wildlife Fund
Earth Day was last week (I realize this!) but this is so cool. I love the music.

Saturday Morning is planned!
It just so happens that Jason's parents are visiting this weekend, so as an early Mother's Day gift, I will be making his mom the fluffiest pancakes in the world. I realize you want to come over to have some so I copied you on the recipe. (see below) Meanwhile, Jason already had pancakes with his parents today at IHOP. Let's see if I can beat the competition.
Here's the recipe (courtesy of my friend Christina in Illinois)
To rock your weekend, do this:
the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes in the world
Recipe from Christina Haun Fitzgerald 6/12/09
2 cups flour
2 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
3 Tbs. unsalted butter (melted and cooled slightly)
1-2 tsp. veggie oil
whisk flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda together in medium bowl. whisk buttermilk, sour cream, eggs, and melted butter in another bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, gently stir until just combined (batter should remain lumpy w/few streaks of flour). Allow batter to sit 10 minutes before cooking.
Heat 1 tsp oil in nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. using paper towels, wipe out oil, leaving thin film. using 1/4 cup measure out batter into pan. cook until edges set, first side is golden brown and bubbles just beginning to break, 2-3 minutes. flip pancakes and cook until second side golden brown, 1-2 minutes longer. serve immediately.
note from me: this is a cooks illustrated recipe. it is usually important to follow directions closely to get the best result

I Don't Want Another Dog
But if Jason watches this, he might let me! :-) I wish I could have been there to see Leia when she was just a few weeks old and a teeny tiny greyhound - OMG so cute! And then 4 years of running races. When you think of it, it's kind of amazing that she just sleeps at our house all day. Here's to you Leia, the best dog ever! (in my opinion)
