Pancake day is circled, starred & highlighted on my calendar.
We've always had a bit of a competition back home about who can eat the most. Obviously being "a grown up" means I've moved out & can no longer compete with my brothers, but luckily for me Will & the boys were more than happy to take up the challenge.
...Provided I did the cooking.
Another day, another stripy top. Apparently I'm obsessed.
This was a wee Valentines treat to myself from Joseph. It's ridiculously soft with beautifully long sleeves and makes me feel a little like Beetlejuice. In a good way.
Anyway, back to pancakes.
Even I have to check my recipes now & then!
Will has very strict ideas on what makes the best batter, so huffed & puffed & told me off throughout.
We went American this year & accessorised with a smorgasbord of toppings.
Finally we all sat down to feast with glasses of wine & James Taylor on the speakers (my iPod, music taste inherited from my dad I'm afraid).
Fuzzy Fred & Oli were in charge of laying the table & were rather proud of their candle work.
Who could blame them?
I was a little bit proud of my own work...
Look at all that bacon & syrup!
Something I'm going to have to repeat, with or without Pancake Day.
Ps. I finally got off my butt & made a Facebook page so I can stay in touch with you guys. Please feel free to pop over & say hello!
Baby you are a pretty pretty little thing! Really inspiring to me.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love!

XOXO, Valentine !! <3
I've always been rude about American pancakes. Somehow they're just wrong. Ma used to say that pancakes should be like lace and you should be able to see through them. but maaaaybe I was wrong...... when did you say you were coming home?.........Well done Will..... Educating my daughter! I'm drooling on the keyboard! xxx
ReplyDeleteI love how your Mum comments on your posts! Likewise, my keyboard is all good n' drooly.
DeleteHey Rose's Mum, we Americans DO make pretty good pancakes, if you'll allow me to brag a bit. And Rose, please never apologize for musical tastes. It's James Taylor, come on now!
Deleteso i have to ask, how many pancakes did you manage to eat finally? ;)
ReplyDeleteMmm they look delicious!

I KNEW you were going to do a Pancake Day post! And it's just as droolworthy as I expected it to be. :)
ReplyDeleteStep into Estherina's World
these look delicious! but i wanna know, who won? :D
ReplyDeletelooks very yammi)))) mmm
ReplyDeleteI more or less do this every Sunday - or any morning I can convince my OH to get more maple syrup (I'm a fiend!) These look great! x
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how well candlelight and pancakes go together!
ReplyDeleteAndddd now I'm hungry!! x

This looks utterly divine, wish I'd thought of having bacon on mine. Also kudos for doing it to James Taylor and using the word smorgasbord, two of my favourite things in a post! :) xo

Please don't say "i'm afraid" when referring to the sexiest man in folk music, voice so smooth, guitar that makes me weep. "sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground"
ReplyDeleteWow looks lovely and delicious! I am too sick to celebrate pancake day but my hubs is going to make me your chicken noodle soup for lunch!
ReplyDeleteMmmhhh, yummy!! I am totally jealous of you guys having an official pancake day.
ReplyDeleteMust write a letter to German authorities to adopt one, ha ha.
At least I will integrate a pancake day once a month or so. At least.
Good idea to keep them a little smaller like you did. I used to grow up with pancakes with the size of the pan... But like this I could taste all the good toppings :) It looks absolutely delicious. Maybe I should overthink my Risotto plans, and make pancakes instead....
Have a great day(wohoo, almost weekend)

yum. we had none. in this house I'm pancake maker,and mine turn out like mud. I've given up. Doesn't matter which recipe I use, they all turn out awful. I accept the fact that I can't make pancakes. Or dumplings.
ReplyDeleteSo. Really, you should have made me some shouldn't you?!
x
It's honestly a relief to read your blog, really. Especially now since it's my third day in bed with chickenpox and I have just about gone through your entire archive. You're the best, Rosie! <3
ReplyDeletei love pancakes! i would have them each morning if i wasnt on a diet hehe :-)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, it looks like you all had a lovely evening and so many pancakes. I had bacon and maple syrup on mine. So good.

I made blueberry and Nutella ones too! Flipping them over without the berries flying out of the pan was a challenge! What are you giving up for Lent by the way?

What happened to DP??
ReplyDeleteBacon and syrup... yum! Very jealous of your pancake work here, I didn't even attempt it this year after failing so badly the last few times ive tried. I'll be heading out for pancakes at the local 'pancakes n more' this weekend to make up for it x
ReplyDeleteBacon! Knew something was missing...
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing x

Hey Rosie, have you heard of Galentines Day (Parks & Rec)? You should combine that with Pancake Day. It'd be E P I C !!

so now you totally have me wanting pancakes, maybe that will be my V-day dinner tonight or waffles. My husband loves pancakes and waffles because he's from Italy and doesn't get those over there, they have crepes but it's not quite the same. Anyway you look gorgeous and love the place!

ReplyDeleteThose look lovely. I made blueberry coconut ones this year and they were quite the hit.
ReplyDeleteIs this at your apartment Rose? If so, you have a very well-stocked kitchen. Love the chrome kitchenaid.
ReplyDeleteYour pancakes look amazing! So disappointing now it's Lent and I know I can't make them :(

Breakfast for dinner is never a bad thing! And, whoever told you there was anything wrong with James Taylor, is simply out of their minds! He's absolutely one of my faves :)

We had a Spanish version :) I love breakfast food for dinner too. Pancakes remind me of being a kid. My grandma used to make them in animal shapes for us. Welcome to the wonderful world of Facebook. Cute shirt, by the way!

Can you show us what u wear on nights out? I love the party posts u do so much
ReplyDeleteMmmm breakfast for dinner is the BEST.
ReplyDeleteI love pancakes, and breakfast for dinner is always fun! As an American, I didn't realize that putting everything but the kitchen sink on pancakes was the American way (Maybe that's because I'm half English :P). I know IHOP has all sorts of things on their pancakes, but I prefer mine with butter or syrup. Sometimes I mix it up and make chocolate chip pancakes though!
ReplyDeletejustabirdonawire.wordpress.com
There's such a thing as pancake day?! What! I'm doing research on this pronto. Next year I'll definitely be participating. I love to use honey instead of syrup! Mmm mmm! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, now I'm just going to have to make pancakes for dinner this weekend. Thanks for the fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteDefiantly try pancakes with chilli con carne! OMG they are amazing.

I'm not sure what is more appealing in this blog post Rose; the pancakes or Will?
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! I didn't even realize it was national pancake day :( I'll have to celebrate late with my favorite banana chocolate chip pancakes while listening to Jack Johnson's "Banana Pancakes" :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you're on Facebook!
Have an enchanting day,

I live in Newfoundland, Canada and on this side of the pond we put small prizes in our pancakes. For example, a wedding ring, money, etc. (everything gets sterilized first of course) depending on what you get in your pancake, it is said to predict your future for the year. So for example, if you get the wedding ring - you're going to get married. I always thought it was a British tradition because we were once a British colony and most people here have strong ties to England. Either way, I just adore your blog! Maybe next pancake night you might like to put some extra prezzies in your pancakes :)
ReplyDeleteLovveeeee breakfast for dinner! I'm obsessed with stripes and James Taylor too. (Holds up lighter) I'VE SEEN FIRE AND I'VE SEEN RAIN
ReplyDeleteI really love those candle sticks! Where are they from?
ReplyDeleteThose panackes look lush! I have to say you are the spitting image of Princess Kate, very pretty indeed! xx
