I have acquired. However I cannot do this on my own so I have assembled a very exclusive club I like to call,”The Pancake Club.” The members of this highly elite club are the men that I want to be like in my life and thence I would make them pancakes, because what is a better food to sit down with and discuss life, global issues, political problems and simply good times than pancakes.

ability but to the white families in dire need of hospitality as well, so they say. From this caricature of mammy, was a stereotype that alluded directly to the kitchen duties presented as aunt jemimah, who is now plastered on the numerous boxes of pancake mixes and syrup around the world. Originating from an infamous song called “old aunt jemima”, composed by an African American singer named Billy Kersands in 1875, was often song during minstrel shows performed by white men in black…

quality time with this funny old man. When I walked through the back porch door around six in the evening, I could already smell the sweet aroma of syrup wafting through the air. As I approached the sliding glass door, I could see that he already had pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs waiting for us on the kitchen table. It was a “breakfast for dinner” type of night. I slowly opened the door and took a step inside. He immediately turned and smiled so wide that I could see the gold fillings in…

that quitting would cause me to lose my spending money, however my high school activities were very important to me, since I knew I would only be in high school once. Quitting my job at Uncle Bills Pancake House was not my first choice in solving my problem. My problem with working at Uncle Bills Pancake House, was that I had to be at work every morning at 7:00 am and I played field hockey at my high school and team practice was from 7:00 am- 9:00am, every Monday and Wednesday. My first choice…

A cast iron griddle can single-handedly make the fluffiest pancakes you've ever eaten, or french toast that has the crispy edge so craved at breakfast time. Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, you won't want to miss out on the flavor cast iron griddles can provide. These two-sided iron griddles cook wonderfully on gas & electric, charcoal or campfire with the same tasty results.

The week of June 28th, 2013 was about to be the most unbelievable week of my life to date. I was about to embark on an amazing vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. I can remember all the details of this vacation from the smells in the air to the taste of all the delicious food they had to offer. My mom’s whole side of the family went on this vacation to attend my grandmother’s intimate wedding that was held on the soft-sand, clearwater beach right outside of our hotel. Friday,…

Breakfast isn’t referred to as being the most important meal of the day because supermarkets and restaurants are looking to sell more oatmeal or pancakes, it is called the most important meal of the day because that is exactly what it is. Most of us will eat, or perhaps take a casein protein shake, and will go to bed around one hour later, where we will hopefully sleep for around 8 hours. That means that, as soon as we wake up, we will have gone for around 9 hours with no food whatsoever, we…

Imagine waking up in a bed piled high with warm fuzzy blankets, to the smell of pancakes cooking, and the sound of bacon sizzling. You look to your right and see that the sun is just peaking over the mountains in the beautiful Breckenridge, Colorado. It’s early but you feel fully rested, and excited to start the day. There’s no rush to be anywhere, so you slowly you start to stretch, yawn, and roll out of bed. Strolling into the bathroom, you discover there’s no need to brush your hair, for…

I believe it was late May, my Grandma Betty slipped and broke her knee. She needed surgery. Everything would´ve been fine except the fact that the last time that she went into surgery she had a heart attack. She made it through that one. My dad lived in Wisconsin at the time and he was going to go down to Dyersburg, Tennessee where she lived. The reason he was going was he wanted to be down there just incase something happened. I wanted to go to, so I went down there for about 3 days, My dad…
