The honeymoon (syrupmoon?) is over

Alas, the bloom is off the rose. Having had a few more pancakes from the Batter Blaster, I am no longer smitten. I'm not even sure if I'll buy the product again! The batter tastes less fresh each time I use it, and the foam coming out of the can is more and more droopy. Perhaps the first use is the best, in which case you need to make a few dozen pancakes all at once, which defeats the idea of cooking for one person over the course of a few weeks. Oh, well... It's time to get out my mom's recipe, which never fails to please.

Batter Blaster

Today is the 7th anniversary of meeting my hubby on the internet. It's not our wedding anniversary, but it's something we like to celebrate every year. We were sitting around trying to decide what to do to celebrate, when hubby mentioned a product he had read about called Batter Blaster. It's organic pancake mix in a whipped cream can. My first thought was "wait...whaaaaaaat???" My second thought was "mmmm...pancakes". Off hubby went to the grocery and picked up a can of this miracle product. I heated up a non-stick pan with some cooking spray, spritzed some batter, and voila: pancakes. Not quite as good as Mom's, but good enough to want to repeat the experiment. I dusted off my waffle maker, and we'll be having waffles in the morning.
Besides the tasty flavor, other benefits of this product are the easy cleanup and the ability to make just as much as you need--no temptation to finish off the rest of the batch.

What an appropriate way to celebrate our first seven years together!
