Flowbee

My younger brother, Spencer, discovered the As Seen on TV Flowbee in High School. I think a good friend of his had one. Well, the sheer genius of this invention has spread thru our family and friends. ERIC HAS NEVER BEEN TO A BARBER! Shaun has saved hundreds over the past few several years by cutting his own hair and Eric's too! The only thing I have to do is trim the back with another great As Seen on TV hair trimmer! The contraption hooks to vacuum cleaner hose, leaving no mess behind! The boys were cutting hair a couple of days ago and I couldn't resist a few pictures of my handsome Eric!

Recipe of the Day, Week, Month, or whenever I feel like changing it!

The kids and I took a trip to Half Moon Bay, CA in January to see the Mavericks surf contest and spend the weekend with my favorite Aunt Fay, Uncle Bob and Grandma! Aunt Fay made us the best buttermilk pancakes with homemade buttermilk syrup!

Buttermilk Pancakes
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 egg yolks
Combine above ingredients
Add:
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons oil
Beat 5 egg whites and fold into above mixture when griddle is ready.

Buttermilk Syrup
1 stick of butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add:
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teasopoon vanilla
Stir and enjoy!

I made pancakes from a mix this morning for breakfast. Brittany asked if I had any of the good syrup. I said yes, because we have some strawberry syrup in the fridge right now. She was dissapointed to see that we in fact did not have any of the good syrup! She was hoping for the buttermilk kind! I guess I need to add buttermilk to the grocery list!
