Yesterday I showed you my new houseguests and asked you your favorite way to eat honey. I did not, however, reveal our favorite way to eat honey. I know you were filled with curiosity. Did you lie awake last night pondering "what is Jeanette's favorite way to eat honey"? "Why didn't she tell us"? "Why are the hot air hand dryers in public restrooms placed so high that you have to reach up to dry your hands, causing the water to run down your arms"? Oh, sorry, that's something I lay awake and ponder. Seriously though, right? Am I the only person who this bugs? Okay, back to the the honey.
That image is it for me. I like to drizzle it on my yogurt. That wasn't very exciting was it? Don't know why you lost so much sleep over it in the first place.
Andrew Henry, now he's exciting, and so is his favorite way to eat honey. Do you know the joy of eating a Baked Apple Pancake? The link to the recipe is very close to the one I make but I pour honey on the apples and around the edge of the pan before I pour the batter in - gives it a sweet cripsy crust. I have made it with buckwheat flour (gluten-free for me), and while it doesn't rise to it's usually glorious mountain of airy goodness, it was nice. I know there are probably gluten-free recipes that will get you close to the original, I'm just too lazy to look into it so I make this for AH and I eat a scrambled egg. Truth hurts.
I made the pancake for AH's breakfast on Sunday - he always loves it...

Delish no? It could easily serve 4-6 people, or one Andrew Henry.
While I was making said pancake, I noticed my countertop. I have a 16 foot counter in my kitchen and only about 1 foot of surface area to work on. Do you know why? I make and sell jewelry that's why. I pick up bits and bobs everywhere and spread it out, let it "speak" to me. I piece together things when I'm designing and I'm often in my kitchen - it has the biggest work area. I cook around the jewelry...
See the vintage jacks? Andrew Henry told me he HAS NEVER PLAYED JACKS! I couldn't believe it. So, after breakfast, I taught him how to play.
There wasn't any room left on the counter, so we played on the floor.
Did you play jacks as a child?
