Alton’s pancakes

Filed under: Food,Life — don @ 12:34 pm

I decided to try Alton Brown’s pancake recipe the last time I made them and they were so good that’s what I’m using from now on. Here’s some pics to get you hungry.

That’s the batter. I find I have to use a little more buttermilk than is called for because I use Knudsen’s which is very thick.

This is the griddle we use. I got it through a Boeing awards program.

And here’s the pancakes cooking. Yummy!

Bon voyage

We took Mark and Heather to the harbor so they could do their cruise this afternoon.  They are on a 3 night LA to Ensenada Mexico cruise.  I get to go back down there Monday morning and pick them up.  Betty and I were thinking maybe we should do one too one of these days.

My Girls, 10 years ago.

Filed under: Life — don @ 6:19 pm

Jenny is cleaning out the garage(a lot of toys from when the girls were kids and their dad bought them a bunch) and found this picture.  It was taken in 1996 and I think it was the last time all my girls were in the same room.

Fryin’ Turkeys

Filed under: Food,Life — don @ 7:13 pm

We got a turkey fryer about a month ago for half price. Today we finally used it. It took about 40 minutes to fry a 13 lb turkey and is it good! It was dark brown on the outside but moist and tender on the inside. I think I’ve found the best way to do turkey. I wonder how a tri-tip would be?

Pretty hot for LA

I know Phoenix and friends get this day after day but here in Los Angeles it’s a little out of the ordinary.
