Java cat that is where I live.....

and that pancake is about a mile from the BART station

OMG Dutch babies!

I'm so tickled to find that other Buffistas know of Dutch babies -- I've never met anyone else (besides my dad's second wife) who had any idea what I was talking about.

Tickled, but not surprised, now that I think about it. Is there any obscure delight, breakfast or otherwise, that isn't shared by at least three Buffistas?

Dutch Baby AND the best potato pancakes? And this is a place Lee likes? Hmmm, if only there were some way I could synthesize all this new information and formulate a plan of some sort. If only, if only.

JZ, it's a puzzle, but let me know if you come up with anything. Maybe we can get Megan or Juliana to help us figure it out.

They're determined problem-solvers like that. Determined breakfast-eating problem-solvers. I've also heard that Suzi doesn't suck at that kind of sleuthery. Let's put them on the case.

We might need Consuela's help as well, because she's also all smart and shit.

Hmm. How many can fit in your car(s)?

I'm pretty sure what I grew up with as David Eyre's Pancake is also a Dutch Baby.

I didn't know what they were called, but I've only ever seen them in Boise. OMG the lemon and powdered sugar combo on the crepe-y/pancake, YUM.

Oh! We call those German Pancakes. We have them for xmas every year, and IIRC I put our recipe in the cookbook.

The Blasphemy Collection

The concept of blasphemy seemed for some decades to be in decline in the West, but not any more. It may be useful to look back at some recent cases of militantly religious outrage...

A list of 20.

Rated by
Vulgarity –the piece shocked through its conflation of the sacred and the profane
Criminality –the piece contravened laws in a given country

Deaths – outrage at the work led to the death of one or more people

You know, I've come to accept the chemically-induced nose dive of mood that lasts a day or so. I can keep it in perspective, knowing what is going on. Do I really need the pimple of doom that shows up in the same place every damned time? Insult upon injury.

Biology is WHACK.

Dutch Babies used to be a staple of Seattle 24 hour dining.

Back in the day, when the city was more interesting than it is now, and we actually had some 24 hour dining, that is.

I had the recipe for them on my fridge for years. If it's still there (it might be), we're talking almost a decade. I don't make them much, because Lillian can't eat them, but they're pretty easy.
