Lindsay has been telling me that the way to eat one of my all time favorite foods... Mac and Cheese... is to fry it up like pancakes. He came over last night with a bowl of leftover Mac and Cheese for us to try this morning.
Well, I don't know what we did wrong. I heated the griddle, sprayed it with Pam but as you all know, cold mac and cheese doesn't really pour like batter. I had these big balls of the sticky stuff on my griddle. We tried to spread it out. It stuck to our spatela. We tried cutting, kind of like you would with meatloaf. It just fell apart as it got hot. We ended up with something more like mac and cheese hashbrowns than mac and cheese pancakes.
Well, I guess it doesn't matter what it looks like. How did it taste? I put some on a plate with apple slices and a slice of banana bread and served it to my kids.... except for Ethan who is still dead to the world. (no school today)
From the above photo you would think it was a hit. Kate has eaten it all gone and just has her bread left. But, what you must know about Kate is that she eats everything, even spaghetti which she absolutely hates. She worries she will hurt my feelings if she doesn't eat what I cook. In fact, whatever she eats first is most likely to be what she likes least. She likes to get the yucky stuff out of the way and then enjoy the parts she does like.
Here's Jack's plate. Notice no apples and he's holding his mostly eaten bread. Hmmmm. Is he just not finished yet?
Abby tried to eat hers. When I asked her if she liked it, she tried to be diplomatic. She's just not as good at it as Kate.
So, Lindsay, did we do something wrong or did we just need you there to sell us on it?
And, speaking of Lindsay we haven't had a giveaway for a while. How about one today! We'll announce the random winner on Monday. Leave us a comment... anything you like... and we'll enter you into a contest to win some Dear Mr Claus goodies.
