I successfully made pancakes!!!!

I successfully made pancakes!!!!!!!!!

I took this recipe: http://southernfood.about.com/od/pancakesandwaffles/r/bl60123b.htm

Mushed it a bit with this one since i didn’t have any buttermilk in the house: http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2007/03/again-with-the-pining/

(her yogurt/sour cream and milk trick works wonderfully)

And added in slices of banana like this one: http://goop.com/recipes/breakfast/pan-cakes

(this is the only other pancake recipe that has turned out well for me in the past but i was out of a couple of the ingredients so couldn’t make this one exactly)

 Seriously! Look at these bad boys!

and they were AMAZING!

and not burnt! and not gloppy in the middle!

 (two things which usually are involved in my typical pancake making shenanigans…)

Woo Hoo!

so then that all happened…

where to begin… May happened… then june… then we moved, yup moved… yeah, i have no idea how this has all gone by so fast or what exactly we got to where we are now. ;) I’ll just let the mass back up of pictures do most of the talking…

so much!!!!

May – spring came around. prepped for an event at work. went to a schwanky bike event. got ready for my first (and hopefully last) trip to las vegas.

one of many friend visits over the summer.

 Next stop...

 

Untitled

began exploring a new-ish part of town for us, NW and the pearl, due to a couple errands taking us over that way.

Downtown

visited our friends in their tiny house. helped out at the disaster relief trials. began to consider moving as our apartment needed some MAJOR foundation and structural repairs that we (and the kitties) were not too keen on putting up with all summer. wrote our rental company to see what all they had available coming up in the next few months (throwing in half jokingly we’d especially love a gas cook stove and claw foot tub…). They wrote back and asked how we felt about NW 21st… went to look at an apartment…

Long day

 

Here we go...

July – two weeks after looking at the apartment, we were in. yes, 2 weeks. i’m amazed we both made it through with no major breakdowns. downsized belongings again. hired movers due to no transfer fees or new deposits, yippee! will never move without them again. went to see Fiona Apple preform (she’s wonderful)

Morning light

August – settling in. decorating. exploring our new part of town. saw Sigur Ros at the Edgefield amphitheater. taught my first class on tea at work. said goodbye to some dear friends.

A tiny goodby party

September – said hello to more visiting friends.

<3 <3 <3

lesson learned

1: This recipe for green tomato soup with bacon and brioche croutons is really really tasty…

2: You should NEVER NEVER NEVER eat more than a teeny tiny small bowl of it, no matter how yummy it is and how hungry you are…

3: After 2 long days, saltine crackers and cherry jello have NEVER EVER tasted so good…

ug, back to the couch…
