A special kind of stupid

As mentioned in another thread I've been so busy posting to C&F that I forgot to have any lunch. Now I've missed the chance. I didn't even feel hungry until I knew what I'd done but now I can't think of anything but food.

BTW Dale, if you start marketing this as the C&F diet I expect a share of the profits.

Now you're making me hungry too, and it's only 9:22 AM here! I just had breakfast! Thinking about lunch, I mean, not a stupid fat hobbit.

Was that first breakfast, or second breakfast?

Hey Gary, want to try blueberry American pancakes this weekend? I bought some blueberries yesterday

I promise to use fresh eggs - though I haven't gotten used to them being non-refrigerated in the shops.

Did he miss his lunch too?

Cor! Yes please!

Edited to add: The only time I had them was in IHOP in Vegas, and they were ruined

covered in some white butter goop which I, stupidly, thought was vanilla icecream. Talk about disappointing. I mean, who puts *butter* on pancakes? Everyone knows it's Jiffy lemon, or at a push maple syrup and vanilla icecream.

Course this assumes I survive the night tonight... damn egg.

I wonder if there's such a thing as a drooling emoticon?

We do have real maple syrup from Vermont in the fridge.

But butter is a very common topping for American pancakes - which are a very different beast from British pancakes.

IHOP pancakes, and those from many other US restaurants, have a kind of spherical glob of off-white stiffly whipped butter. You can tell how concerned the patrons are about their health by observing how much of this sphere is used. Mine typically gets a few thinnish slices applied to the pancakes, and then the rest of the thing is gingerly moved to an empty plate before it melts into goo.

Edited to add: So Gary, tell me - how did you find out it wasn't ice cream; did you scoff a spoonful?

I don't believe it. I clicked on the word potato and got an access denied message. Food and me just aren't destined to meet today.
