Can’t Cook … Shouldn’t Cook!

Pancake day
Well, we finally had our pancakes at eight o’clock last night, so it was more like a pancake supper!  Things started out well, but I think Darrell was tired and his powers of concentration slightly lacking after a days rush laminating, because his pancake tossing skills left a lot to be desired…..
Burnt pancakes
….. and Nigel was, to be honest, more of a hindrance than a help.Pancake day 2012
However, though most of the pancakes looked a little dodgy holey they tasted almost delicious.
Pancakes for tea
We let Nigel have the first one, which he proceeded to cover with a mahoooosive mountain of squirty cream, which hid his blueberries!
Nom Nom Nom
We all agreed the pancakes were worthy of six noms, but that there was room for improvement, and at least we have another year for Darrell to perfect his art!

Don't give up, Darrell; your pancake making skill will improve with practice! It was excellent novice pancake making. Why didn't I think of covering my pancakes with luscious whipped cream? Thank you, Nigel. Best noming Wishes..

Marc,
I am most impressed. Over 200 pancakes - you must have made lots of batter. The savoury ones sound nomtastic. Well done!
