I could not agree more Gromit. Take this simple fact alone and don't get me wrong the muffins and I are very close. We're damn near family. Hats. This time of year around here, pancakes make a superior hat, especially warm pancakes. They flop down and keep the ears warm. You just cannot get the same feel with a muffin and I get mistaken for a bellhop all the time. Gives the word, toppings, a whole new meaning. But to the world at large I would like to pass on this information about Pennsylvania and pancakes. If you hear the term pancake house, the house is not made of pancakes. I just didn't want to promote anymore confusion. I have my own special days for confusion. Not to be confused with Confucius, that's another day altogether.


Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.

(One for evul muffins and one for worn out sneakers.)

Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.

There that should do it, I think I just wrapped up, muffin day, pancake day, confusion day and Confucian day. That gives me a spare 6 days to devote to other things. Let me see....

That is a much underappreciated fact. But I find that the standard pancake leaves the neck bare, or else hangs down in unsightly folds at the back. The problem can be solved easily by giving the pancake a 3D shape. The easiest way of doing that is the rotating parabolic pan. Spin it at the correct rate, and the dough will have the same depth everywhere, and you get a more bell-shaped pancake, still very different from a muffin hat. Flipping the pancake gets a bit tricky. Beginners may prefer to convert a shower head into a gas grill to brown the top of the pancake. Use only metal shower heads for that purpose.

Gee-knee-us!! Sheer genius, Gromit. I was investigating pancakes and origami as both a practical matter and Art. I needed something to do at my new home too. There are only so many types of baskets.

(I asked Art, he didn't mind and said he needed a new hat anyway.)

How could I have missed Pancake Day!!?? My family owns and operates ******* Pancake House and Family Restaurant. I feel remiss in my duties as a pancake flipper's daughter!

that must be a deep east-tex thing, duncan. i never heard it in the west or central. then again, once you get in around nacadoches you're getting pretty close to the "old south" and less "texas"....

My dear lau

Has this debate been going on long? Does it get loud? I am very pleased that you have decided that the "d" vs the "t" is pretty and irrelevant and not exactly science. You seem to be making progress. If I might, and I will, suggest something. Move on and let the cleaning person do it. Although I consider that profession to that of the common vampire. No amount of garlic have I used that ever stopped a cleaner yet. I did manage to slow one down, for a time, throwing steaks at them. Now if I could just figure out what animal provides wooden steaks, I might do better. But I was never sure if that was woden or wooden. It might be pretty irrelevant and not exactly science. So never mind. Carry on.

Very concernidly yours

I'm not sure where Nacadoches is, but one house I lived in down there, I walked out the front door and east for 15 minutes and I was in Loosiana (which to this day is how I'm almost compelled to pronounce it, especially in conjuction with its most famous city, N'awlins)

Having one of these days:

Nan/Duncansbass, this debating thing just has to stop. I did research. These are NOT localisam's. It's damn international. I can prove it. This one comes from up around our favorite Pancake Flipper's Daughter. (is anyone thinking if that is anything like a Farmers daughter?) Anyway, I see this all the time and I've seen it in about every corner of the country I've ever been in.... it's the common redneck (sorry don't know the Latin for it). I fear that it probably need to be translated for our over seas friends, however some of the research indicated this species has migrated to Australia. I'm not sure but, this might be a virus and only seems to affect the males. It has been my experience that this is so.

Corb Lund! Too cool! He's from a little town just east of us and one of the nicest guys you could possibly meet.

And that's exactly what it's like around here every spring.

Does he like pancakes?

He's Dutch. Probably. He's got about 8 siblings.
