Scrambled Pancakes (and other delicacies)

I don't list very many blogs on my right sidebar.  I prefer presenting a limited number of quality offerings that span my range of interests.

One of the blogs I list is Home On The Range (aka, mausersandmuffins).  Brigid is a gifted and imaginative cook.  I admire that.

The cooking around the ERJ ranch tends to be a little more basic, although at times it is no less imaginative.

Kubota and his friend were whipping up brunch.  I was grinning like an idiot because it reminded me of those days in the prime of my life....camping with the Boy Scouts.

The menus were vast:

• Scrambled pancakes
• Pancakes poached in bacon grease
• Pancakes tatare
• Pancakes carbonara
• Pancake slurpies
• Pancake lumps
• Pancakes: Baked Alaska
• Pancakes with poison berry sprinkles
• High fiber Pancakes
• Pancakes with twigs and pine needles
• Pancake soup 
• Pancakes al dente
• Silica augmented Pancakes

And that was just one course.

A few of the lessons Kubota and his friend learned today were

• Don't drop water into the bacon grease 
• You cannot flip a pancake until it is at least partially cooked
• Don't drop pancake batter onto the floor
• Don't drop eggs anywhere
• Don't use the liquid from the milk jugs sitting in the recycle area
• You don't have enough syrup if you start with more pancake batter than pancake syrup
• Poached pancakes cannot absorb as much syrup as scrambled pancakes
• You cannot cook pancakes faster by turning up the heat....unless you favor Pancakes: Baked Alaska

Successes are claimed by a thousand fathers.  But we 100% own our failures.  That is why we learn more from our failures than from our successes.

The old Boy Scout motto:  Be Prepared (pack a Girl Scout).
