I've fallen victim to an unholy craving for PANCAKES. More specifically, PANCAKES that someone else has made for me. And sausage to dip in the syrup. I live within five miles of both a Silver Diner and an IHOP, so I could probably rustle up PANCAKES somewhere if I really needed to; the thing is that I'm not particularly hungry, I just think they'd taste really, really good right about now. My mouth is telling me to go stalk the wily creature in its natural habitat (the diner), while my stomach is wondering where exactly I intend to put it once I catch it. I think reason is going to win out this time, I should wait until I'm actually hungry.

Mmmm, forbidden pancake...

I crave nice breakfasts at the end of crummy days. I hope that is not the genesis of your craving.

Nah; today dragged on forever, but it wasn't particularly bad.

You just made me hungry for PANCAKES!!!

[geekchick]

Mmmm, pancakes.

See, the human body needs a feature wherein if one isn't in need of food except to satisfy a taste craving, it could be routed to an alternate stomach or something.

Yes, I do waste brain cycles thinking about this sort of thing, why do you ask?

You're weird, sir.

[geekchick]

That's what the dessert stomach is for. =)

Feeding them to you, with syrup, would be fun...

At my house, every Sunday is Pancake Sunday. We keep it reasonably healthy by making whole wheat pancakes and they are yummmy.

I don't make pancakes much (corn cakes, hrmn... maybe I ought to start soaking some cornmeal... sounds yummy about now. Bacon maybe, and strong coffee with heavy cream. Maple syrup, or the ollalieberry butter..., must be fed to cook for many this evening) but Maia does.

Like no other pancake in the world. She separates the eggs, beats the whites to soft peaks and folds them in, well. very light.

But it means she thinks mine are both too airy, and too heavy.

So I stick to french toast, which I prefer anyway.

Trivia question: Where did the name french toast come from?

Mmmmm. If I leave right now, I could get there in time for breakfast. Which I didn't eat yet today, so I'm hungry.

Trivia question: Where did the name french toast come from?

Not the slightest idea.

WW1.

Just like Freedom Fries. Sauerkraut became liberty cabbage (honest) and German Toast (which makes much more sense, in terms of the style of cooking) became french.

You can see it if you look at Fannie Farmer's Boston Cookbook. From one edition to the other, the name changed.
