my morning

It's a lazy morning here...grandpa gates pancakes, bacon, and casi cielo in the french press. For those whose brows rose in confusion at the mention of grandpa gates pancakes, let me elaborate...the ingredients of these rather thin, salty delicacies include: buttermilk, baking soda, salt, and flour. They're best when they stay on the griddle long enough for the edges to become crispy. I put lots of butter on mine, followed by raspberry jam and finally, powdered sugar. Once they are prepared as I like them, I roll them and eat them by hand. Apparently, the recipe dates back to my great grandpa gates, my dad's mom's dad...But breakfast is finished now and the dishwasher loaded. I did delay a bit, however, as there's nothing quite like a slow Saturday morning lingering in jammies while sitting at the table amongst empty plates, sipping coffee, relishing in the notion of having nothing to do. Now, the girls are playing with moon sand, and I'm washing sheets in between blogging and more coffee sipping. I especially enjoyed reading this post this morning on a favorite blog of mine. Enjoy your Saturday.
