Attempted cooking

I attempted to cook pancakes, my discard pancake pile was bigger then the success pile. I think I'll just stick to the waffle Iron or the frozen ones you can just toast. Oatmeal and bananas are our favorite breakfast because mom can actually make them.



Seriously how sad is this:









But look how cute this looks, can you imagine how excited I was getting?







Until I flipped them






But this cute little boy still ate them, he doesn't know better yet.







So I got this delicious recipe from my friend for scalloped potatoes and I actually had all the ingredients on hand! Even an onion from attempted homemade salsa. It actually turned out A - OK and I know this because Lance ate it and my friend from work saw it and actually wanted the recipe!? What? Someone asked me for a recipe? Yup yup so here it is:


6 Med. Potatoes (I used 8 - 10 small ones)
3 TBL Butter

1 Onion chopped

3 TBL Flour
1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp pepper

2 1/2 cups of milk

1 TBL butter (again)

Heat oven to 350 and grease your pan, I used a cake baking pan, 11 by 13 or something like that.
cut potatoes place in pan (washed, unpealed and unboiled) set aside




In sauce pan cook butter and onions for 2 minutes, add milk, flour, salt and pepper and boil 1 minute.
Poor sause over spread out potatoes and dot with the last TBL of butter.
Bake 30 mins covered
remove cover and bake 1 hour to 1:10 longer and let stand 5 - 10 minutes.
I add cheese on the top before I eat them and the more sauce the better!

Bummer about the pancakes! I've never been able to make them either. I stick to scrambled eggs. They're a little harder to screw up! The scalloped potato recipe sounds yummy... Definitely going to have to give that a whirl!

LMAO at the cooking of breakfast! I am SOOOO like that. I hate making pancakes OR eggs, for the above mentioned reason of them NEVER working out! LOL!!!! So glad I'm not the only Non-Suzy-Homemaker out there. Making breakfast is "daddy's job" now. I make cereal. And, occasionally, a mean bowl of oatmeal or *gasp* Sometimes I'll break out the big guns and have yogurt!!!!

Flipping fried eggs takes practice. And even then you'll still screw them up. My biggest problem is getting enough of it on the spatula so it actually flips instead of folds. Once it's part of the sandwich, it all tastes the same though.

Look at my little Betty Crocker! I'm so proud! I think the egg flipping is all in the pan. You gotta have a non stick one.

Wow, you mean you can really make bananas? I'd like to see that!

I just saw Log two days ago and I already miss his cute butt!

I don't mean to laugh at you (well, actually I do), but are those pancakes on his plate? Are you sure there isn't a chicken carcass or something with those eggs? Hey, as long as he doesn't know better, right?

If you look @ your first pancake long enough it starts to take on the appearance of a cartoon elf with an elvis chin.

Seriously.

I can do pancakes, but have the exact same problem with eggs. Grr!!!! Glad the little one ate them anyways! ;)
