I ALSO LOVE ...... FRESH STRAWBERRIES...being washed in my VINTAGE COLANDER...
On this dark and delightfully rainy day, MR. SWEET and I decided we wanted
BUTTERMILK PANCAKES
with our strawberries....
OR...was it the other way around ?
I have this wonderful built-in griddle on my stove...
just PERFECT for PANCAKES....
(which, by the way, will NOT make the move to the new home..
a nice new stove is just waiting for me to cook on it. )
Just a LITTLE strawberry syrup is enuf for MY pancakes...
with sliced strawberries on top...
sometimes, I like WHIPPED CREAM...sometimes NOT.
I don't have a special RECIPE for these pancakes...
just use YOUR favorite...
I ALWAYS like BUTTERMILK better than regular milk..
and, even if I use a ..*gasp....box mix...
I use BUTTERMILK..
and always a cap full of VANILLA...
"Now, ain't that the berries"
an old SOUTHERN SAYING
for "THAT'S GREAT !"
♥
...and, see...
you can tell I am finished with my pancakes and strawberries
because my napkin is pointing TOWARDS the table...
Our sweet MISS JANICE taught this old dog a new trick about using napkins correctly ...
♥
I am more than MORTIFIED that I can't remember Miss Janice's address....and ever since BLOGGER decided to MAKE THINGS BETTER for us, myBLOGROLL has GONE MISSING....
HELP....!!!
o, my...I am so bad about using too many patterns and colors..

Bj, I love strawberries, (or any fruit) on pancakes. YUM, yours looks luscious! I love clouds, but mostly the light fluffy ones on a sunny day. Sometimes it's just fun to look out and see storm clouds. Although I always look for the sun to come out and shine. I think the red and black are quite cute! What's this? You are moving? So happy to have you share with Share Your Cup.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
