Post Pancake Day

The pancake frenzy was a complete triumph, and my pancake compartment was restocked to last a whole year. Thea's first pancake looked like a squashed brain, so I took over pancake production duty and mastered the art of perfectly round, thin pancakes. The flipping was a bit of a lost art as I didn't get any air, which I attribute to a heavy pan, lack of wrist strength, and the galley kitchen, but I believe that the "singed fingertip flipping" technique words just as good. To be honest, the savoury pancakes were really just an act of reprieve, and after one we were straight to the good stuff; Green & Blacks ice cream, maple syrup, chocolate spread...we had sugar and lemon on call in case we felt like a break from the heavy stuff but to be honest, that never happened!! We also discovered our pancake styles; I'm a flat out, Thea is a folder, Ollie a packager. It could possibly be some sort of personality test I'm sure.

If I could impart one piece of wisdom acquired from Pancake Day it is this :

Green bananas will not ripen if you zap them in the microwave!
