Happy Wet Beast Wednesday

On the one hand I kind of want 9pm pancakes but on the other hand the kitchen is so cold...

Nothing will warm the kitchen up quite like running the stove to make 9pm pancakes

Yeah but then I'll eat too many (it's hard to proportion one person's worth of snack pancakes) and feel all dense and weird inside for the rest of the night.

Pancake refrigerate surprisingly well. You can cook too many and eat only enough.

I'm just air frying some sausages instead. This means I can leave the kitchen while they cook and I don't have to go for a walk in the dark and wet to pick a lemon from the orchard.

Why would you need a lemon to make pancakes?

Gotta put something on the pancakes. I'm not gonna eat a plain dry pancake.

...but lemon?

Yeah lemon juice and sugar

i see you are experiencing the incomprehensible bluescreen some people have when informed of the Literal Best Pancake Topping Ever (my latvian friend had literally never heard of this before coming to ireland and for like 2 days around pancake tuesday was like "y'all are so fucking weird what even is this combo" about it being the default and beloved configuration here)

It's such a good combo that Americans make a whole drink out of it and people don't understand it on pancakes? It's like, THE classic pancake topping second only to maple syrup (which is way too sweet for me).

I’ve never heard of this, but it sounds incredible. Do you mix the sugar in with the lemon juice before pouring it on? Is it a lemon juice and powdered sugar on top situation? If you’re mixing the sugar and lemon juice before pouring on, is it enough sugar to make it thick like syrup, or is the texture closer to lemonade (American style like you referenced rather than the soda)?

I squeeze a wedge of lemon over the pancake like you do with chips and then sprinkle on a bit of sugar to take the edge off the sourness of the lemon. You can butter them first or not depending on moisture preference and how much you want the lemon to soak in.

Is this the time to share that I grate cheddar cheese into my pancake mix?

It is never the time to share such horrifying truths

Wait. Back up. What do you mean, "like you do with chips"?!

also the sugar is commonly icing sugar so it sprinkles properly but I suspect Derin’s using table sugar.

Do I seem like the sort of person whose life is together enough to own more than one type of sugar

YOU ARE A PUBLISHED AUTHOR. that seems like the kinda person to own more than one type of sugar????????

why is the coffee grinder involved here. do you grind molasses to make brown sugar. is that how? inch er esting.

Molasses is a liquid. You grind plain sugar to make caster sugar.

Are we just not gonna talk abt the cheddar cheese pancakes?

Correct, we're gonna gloss right on past.

I love how you call high-income writers Spiders Georg instead of. you know. an outlier.

As a writer, I know my audience.

the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is presents a romance-style female-focused fantasy adventure, which is rare for blockbuster movies.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE MADE HIMSELF ONE TOO

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

sex pollen is an integral part of the fanfiction ecosystem but i just don't think poison ivy would make anything that encourages procreation of even more humans. unless she figures out how to make the sex pollen same-sex specific or fertility-negating she's not making it at all. #philosophical
