Choccy pancakes
Carolyn got up and went to the kitchen telling me she was going to make pancakes and did I want any.
“No thanks, I don’t like pancakes much.”
I will eat them on occasion but mostly not my favorite food, the TV commercials for places like Denny’s doesn’t help. The images of a stack of pancakes with a nob of butter melting on the top and slathered with syrup just looks ghastly and unappealing.
I walked into the kitchen and looked in the pan, the pancake sitting there was brown.
“Brown?”
“Yes, I added chocolate,” Carolyn replied.
“Chocolate, you never mentioned chocolate, that’s a total game changer.” But I still resisted any chocolate urge.
Carolyn served up pancakes for herself and they were covered with white powder, “You like pancakes with your sugar dear?”
“That’s not sugar, that’s powdered creamer,” she told me which made me shudder.
When Carolyn finished she gave me her plate with a small amount of pancake left on it to take into the kitchen. I took the plate into the kitchen and forked a piece of pancake into my mouth. Hmm it was actually very good.
But don’t tell the wife!
Chocolate stuffed bananas
One of my favorite fruits is bananas, love them and anything banana flavored. I also love Nutella chocolate spread and can get through a jar of it in double quick time. I saw on the blog Gather and Nest something awesome; Nutella stuffed bananas! I have to try this, sounds and looks so good.
Chuck some pineapple in or on it and triple score!
Cream of glob soup
Well, inquiring minds, or at least, my mind, wants to know how the blazes are you meant to cook cream of mushroom soup?
Maybe it is just me!
I took a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup to work for my lunch. I emptied the can into a dish added a can of water, stirred and nuked in the microwave. I ended up with a hot bowl of water with off gray colored gelatinous lumps floating in it with the odd piece of mushroom.
Just couldn’t get it to mix completely. It tasted as it should but chewing the globs of jelly like stuff wasn’t all that pleasant, good thing I was hungry or I would have chucked it.
There surely is a secret to it or am I just soup challenged?
You’re a Goober
Me: Dear, what did you put on my sandwiches this morning?
Carolyn: Goober.
Me: Okay, I only asked!
Carolyn: No, the peanut butter an jelly stuff is called Goober, both in the same jar, didn’t you like it?
Me: You know I don’t care much for peanut butter.
Carolyn: I know but you are one for saying you don’t like something you haven’t tried.
Me: I’m finicky what can I say but why on earth would anyone call a food product Goober?
Carolyn: What’s wrong with it?
Me: Sounds kind of nasty.
Carolyn: This coming from a guy who eats jellied eels, toad in the hole, blood pudding, mussels, cockles, haggis and tripe.
Me: Jellied eels is yum grubbing, toad in the hole is batter and sausages, blood pudding also called black pudding is great as is or fried and I have never ever tried and have no desire to try haggis or tripe, sounds nasty.
Carolyn: See, point made.
Me: What?
Carolyn: Anyway, try some of these chocolate covered peanuts.
Me: Cool, what are they called?
Carolyn: Goobers.
Me: What, blech!
