A flippin' good time

On mornings when we find ourselves with a little extra time on our hands, I like to take advantage of Justin's superior pancake-making skills and insist that he make breakfast. (Girls like guys with skills, ya know.)

I seem to be somewhat deficient in the area of pancake-flipping, but Justin's a pro, pouring batter and knowing just when to turn them as if he's been doing this all his life...which, come to find out, he has. This morning he set a new standard in breakfast batter with a skill that we're sure will entertain Abby when she gets a little older. But for now, he'll have to settle for the big smile on my face that results from seeing my family's initials spelled out in certified organic whole wheat pancake batter.

When all the batter had been poured, we sat down to a stack of what will henceforth be known as boring round pancakes, one golden brown mandolin, a mickey mouse, and some pretty impressive pancake letters. What a delicious way to start the day!
