Pancake Day!!

Pancake Day is an amazing day. And yesterday, I got my first Pancake Day away from home. And me being the baby of the family, I have generally always been looked after, so making pancakes was a complete mystery to me.

Anyone who knows me relatively well will tell you I am pretty damn rubbish at any form of cooking and, unless I'm married or purchase a carer as I age, I actually will die of hunger in the future, I'm that bad. But I'm slowly learning thanks to the fabulous help of Chef Shamus.

So the night began. And no-one was brave enough to cook the pancakes themselves, so I stepped up coz I wasn't about to go without.

After a quick pancake advice phonecall to the father, we heated up the pan and poured the mixture in. Some odd looking lumps proceeded to fall out of the shake and bake tub.

Last time I checked, lumps weren't on the menu. So we were a bit weary, but we carried on regardless. With a bit of mix with a knife the lumps disintegrated and a pancake looking mass formed.

Then it was flipping time. And guess what? I didn't drop it! HA! Well, the first flip I didn't. Then I attempted to show off and do it for a second time and it hit the dust. See for yourselves!




But in no time I soon become quite the pancake expert and the pancakes where flying. Unusually for once, not literally. And if the video of my amazing pancake skills isn't enough for you, here is an example of my work. And excuse my dirty hob please.


So I can't cook a bog standard roast or anything anyone else in the world eats, but I can make pancakes. Am I starting to sound a little bit more like marriage material yet??? Thought not!
