Seems like my attempt at getting rid of spam also got rid of most people’s ability to post a comment. It was a setting in the options on a new plugin that did it. I’ve turned it off so hopefully you can comment away now.

Alton’s pancakes
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!

One month, technically.
My quit date was February 12th so technically I have been a non-smoker for a month. Yeah yeah, it was a short month but that’s my story and I’m stickin to it.
At $5 a pack I’ve saved about $140 so far. Of course I never paid $5 but see above.

Day – 3 weeks plus a few days
I haven’t written anything about not smoking lately. That’s because there’s nothing to say about it other than I’m still not smoking. I guess I could call myself an ex-smoker technically. I saw the Doctor on Monday and told him about the not sleeping. He didn’t want me to stop the Chantix because he was quite surprised that it was working so well. He actually thought I was going to tell him I couldn’t do it. At any rate he prescribed sleeping pills to help me get some rest. I will probably take my first one tonight and see if it helps for tomorrow. If I get good sleep tonight and am still sleepy tomorrow then I’m going to worry maybe it’s something besides the Chantix. I really hope my body doesn’t need to smoke to stay awake.(just kidding there folks)
Oh yeah, I guess this is 24 days and the cravings are lessening a lot.

New Akismet
There is a new version of Akismet available. I got to thinking it wasn’t working all that well because I’ve gotten several over the last few days. When I went into the Akismet page I realized I’m just getting hit at a very high rate and it does catch almost all of it. I decided to check if there was a new version anyways and there is. It includes this nifty little widget that tells how many spam it’s caught. At the time of this writing it had caught 7055. What’s it up to now?

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.
