Not often I think 'Pancakes' but today I was thinking Buckwheat -Chocolate-Raspberry and I was thinking PANCAKES? Yum. Hope you can read the fine print too. Of course I will be lacking and not sending the directions but these directions were really lame. . .included heating the plates, turning the girdle to 375 degrees and warming the oven to 200 degrees. Wasted directions...Add the dry ingredients together first...blah, blah, blah.

I will be making these for Ron fairly soon. He cleaned MY house Saturday. I suppose it is his house too but VOILA. And it was cleaned by his truly. Didn't ask, didn't hint I just came to the office where the phones didn't ring on Saturday and he cleaned. Sunday he mowed, killed weeds and walked the dogs too. I made him a phyllo pizza and next I will do the buckwheat pancakes. I cannot believe he cleaned MY house. I guess his Smack Air Force Academy Saturday Drills kicked in. He cleaned: Dad came over for the Packer Game and dinner was grilled veggies. . . Dessert was raspberry pie which he didn't make because he doesn't know where the oven is...in all fairness I bought the pie and ice cream at the IGA. Went to this particular store cuz beef tenderloin is $3.99 a pound. There are real perks to living in the cow belt. Happy Cows better stay in California. Happy people live in Wisconsin.

And the Packers looked great or so I am told. I was in the kitchen reading Baking with Julia
I finished Julia, ordered her first two FRENCH COOKING volumes and I got this. Pretty amazing how these things work. I would recommend Julia Child's in France.
I am going to sound like the "Book Worm of the Weekend" but I finished "The 50 Rules Kids Don't Learn in School" this weekend and I LOL. This Sykes guy is good. And I learned what schadenfreude is. Who Knew? WWW.The50rules.com
So I am keeping Mr. Merry Maid and vowing to not complain about anything he does for the remainder of today anyway. (He has a few Golden Coupons lined up actually.) Ron cleaned my house! Okay, OUR house... Our home?
