Hot Cakes

I am becoming a fan of pancakes…..there I said it! I never really have cared for them the way I do French Toast. But, in recent months, I have embraced the pancake or hot cake.

I saw a picture on Pinterest with the most beautiful pancakes I had ever seen, so of course I had to look at the site and the recipe. Tara’s Multicultural Table……Tara features recipes from all around the world and had the recipe for the Hot Cakes. Visit her site for more multicultural recipes.

Tim is alway up for pancakes a.k.a. hot cakes, so when I suggested them, it was a thumbs up. They do take a few more minutes to make, as they require a resting time, but during the rest you can make the easy peasy Japanesey syrup to smother the beautiful pancakes in.

I have so many memories that involve food……..Sunday dinners, special holidays, and those times that you were made that extra special thing, just because……..

In our eclectic family, we had several “Aunts” who really weren’t are Aunts, but we called them that anyway. So, it was with my Aunt Sis, whose real name wasn’t even Sis it was Yvonne. Now, she was a woman who could cook you the best, down home cook’n ever! Her claim to fame were her cabbage rolls……they were to die for. She would invite us to her small little apartment and cook up a huge pan of cabbage rolls. I wish I would have had her show me how she made them. She is gone now, but the memory of the cabbage rolls is still strong. So, in tribute to my Aunt Sis…….Deconstructed Cabbage Rolls.

Even more than the age old question…..What the “Forks” for Dinner? is What the “Fork ” to do with leftovers??????

We always seem to have leftovers that after about a week, need to take a trip to the trash. This is where I really have to watch my husband…….Tim has no sense of smell, so he can’t tell when something’s time has passed. I really hate to throw things out, but we are only two people, and you can only eat a recipe so many times before…….ugh! Even if it was the best thing you ever ate.

I can never make the correct amount of spaghetti……..I always make wayyyyyyyyy too much.  So, in an effort to use the leftovers, I racked my brain……what, what, what can I do with with this glob of leftover spaghetti. I know……but really with all the starch…..then it gets cold……..it’s a big glob. I remembered the Italian Spaghetti Meatball Burger we made back in September…….the one that uses the spaghetti as the bun. Why not use the spaghetti as the crust for a pizza?????
