Cruisin in my 5.0, with my rag top down so my hair can blow...

Shaun and I escaped the heat and beautiful vineyards of St. Helena, CA last Saturday and drove south, to Half Moon Bay, where we took my 96 year old Grandma for the ride of her life! I think she loved it! We did!

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!
