My Very Special Ladyfriend and I are on DAY 5 of a ten day cleanse where we will not eat any solid food. You can read more about it here. Two days before this questionable experiment began, we attended a lovely housewarming pancake breakfast at our friend Kate’s new pad.

I don’t like parties, especially loud ones where the guests outnumber the chairs. If I’m invited to a party that involves food, I always make my way to the kitchen to help out, thus avoiding long stretches of social contact with other humans. Especially ones who don’t obsess over food.

Kate and I got straight to work making batter - we had two types: buttermilk and buckwheat blueberry. Naturally, we used organic eggs and the best ingredients we could find. I ran three pans on Kate’s antique stove while she and some other friends prepared the toppings table. We had a great array of fresh fruits and other goodies, including maple syrup, honey, jam, ground almonds, yogurt, hazelnut spread, chestnut spread (my favourite), butter, etc . . .

We kept a couple of warming trays in the oven until we had a decent batch going and then we served ‘em up!

Here are some shots of people plates:

After sitting in the living room digesting all those pancakes, I thought I would stroll over to the kitchen and get a great money shot. I envisioned stacks of syrup-laden empty plates piling up near the sink, but was saddened to see that my Very Special Ladyfriend had washed and put away almost all the dishes! Durn it!
