It's Pancake Day! Hurrah! I even have ingredients but no lemon juice as randomly, I couldn't locate it in ASDA despite them advertising the fuck out of Pancake Day and all other ingredients. Including pancake batter mix which I sneer at. SNEER AT! What's the point of it if you're not going to mess them up yourself?

Gym today. Awesome! There are hot instructor dudes EVERYWHERE which is odd as it is a small gym. And when being shown how to use the treadmill I ran a K without even thinking about it which surprised the hell outta me. I know a K isn't far but its been ages since I ran anywhere so I was still all 0_0 about it. Tomorrow the aim is to actually make an effort and see where that takes me.

And I am unbelievably squeeful because I have pics of Evie and they are gorgeous! Instead of finishing the homework I should have done last night, this evening will be devoted to scanning them and sending them to everyone I know, oh yes. Expect picspam later!

And that is all. I need to go to Spar and get lemon juice, If they have run out I will cry because pancakes without lemon juice are just wrong.

ETA: What the fucking fuck? Photobucket is down for maintenance and LJ is telling me 'you must be logged in to upload photos' except that I am already. It's a damn conspiracy!

Oddly enough, I have never put lemon juice in pancakes, but it's also been ages since I made them from scratch.

And PICTURES! *squee!*

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Never? Omg, you should try it. Gorgeous with sugar or sweetner. Mmmmyum. :D

*is scanning right now* Yay!

I made about 40 pancakes and ate none. Some were with lemon and sugar and some were with cheese bacon and onion.

I hate pancake day. ::whimpers::


My batter was fabby though.

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Ate none? NONE? Omg! 0_0. That's a travesty, it is. Especially when they sound gorgeous...I admit, I have never had a savoury pancake in my life but they sound delicious!

[evilmaniclaugh.livejournal.com]

I have three big teenagers and I developed the idea of savories so I didn't have to cook tea as well as pancakes. This year I cooked bacon and onion and then added loads of grated cheese and herbs. It was a hit. :D

I hate pancakes plus I'm gluten and lactose intolerant. LOL. I do love to cook though.

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Makes sense! But dude...wow. Pancake day must be the worst day of the year for you. Maybe teach one of the teenagers how to do it so that you don't have to next year?

[im-a-yogi.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm looking forward to the picspam! :)

You have Pancake Day? Awesome! We call today Fat Tuesday (last day to fatten up!) and eat a pastry called semla! (Of course they start making semlas right after Xmas so most people have eaten quite a few already! LOL)

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

*scanning right now hurrah!* I really dont know why I dont just get the store to put them on a disc for me. Would be far far easier.

fat Tuesday? I thought that was just an American thing for Mardi Gras. Bizarre! Is semla the same thing as a pancake?

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

And now I see you have an icon of a semla. *facepalm* They look like butterfly cakes. Are they delicious?

[im-a-yogi.livejournal.com]

*checks Wikipedia for all the right ingredients in English*

The semla consists of a cardamom-spiced wheat bun which has its top cut off and insides scooped out and is then filled with a mix of the scooped-out bread crumbs, milk and almond paste, topped with whipped cream. The cut-off top is then put back as a lid and dusted with icing sugar.

Yup, it's delicious! And the bakery across the street (the one I manage sometimes) makes the best ones! Yummy! (Thomas took the photo I used in the icon there!)

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

My mouth is watering, for real. They sound gorgeous. But then, I am a sucker for anything with almonds in it, yum! I would be dangerous with a bakery like that across the road though - let alone working there sometimes - because I'd be in there ten times a day!

[immortalthief.livejournal.com]

I've never made pancakes from scratch, but Boog with the not having lemon juice.

And, OMG, love the icon.

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Hee, it's a fun icon!

I have lemon juice now! I went on an epic trek to the shop (about 20 metres away) and am now armed with the necessary pancake garnishing stuff.

...now I just have to get off my arse and make them. Hmmm. Perhaps I should consider doing that. :)

[immortalthief.livejournal.com]

That might be wise after the quest for the lemon juice.

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

True! Yes. I wouldn't want that momentous effort to be wasted. *thinks on it*

[immortalthief.livejournal.com]

Don't think...Do

Oh, LJ is a weenie! Actually I think it's LJLogin? That logs you into LJ, but for whatever reason doesn't log you into Scrapbook, so you have to log out and then log in manually.

(I want Evie pics!)

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

I tried that! Still no dice. But no matter because photo bucket has just decided to stop being the devil and so, uploading is happening.

Evie pics to a post near you very very soon! :D
