Tuesday

This morning, I asked my (kindergarten) class what day it is.  “TUESDAY!” was the enthusiastic chorus (they are enthusiastic about everything at this age).  “Not just any Tuesday,” I replied.  “Pancake Tuesday!”  

Followed by blank stares.

“Really?  You don’t have Pancake Tuesday?  That’s so sad.”

I instructed them to go home and ask their parents to make some pancakes immediately.  Pancake Tuesday is an important part of growing up after all.

Lucy is making the pancakes this year, and we are all very excited.  For me, the classic lemon and sugar.  This is where delicious lives.

I won’t bore you with tips on achieving the perfect pancake- the truth is I don’t know.  But how about this clever trick:
