Pancakes

So who else made pancakes for Pancake Day today? or Shrove Tuesday; or Jif Lemon Day; or whatever else you choose to call it? Thinking back now; I should really have gotten someone else to shoot me while I made my yummy pancakes. Me eating them probably wouldn’t have been a good look though. It dawned on my by pancake number three that maybe shooting it would have been a good idea but as I was alone in my flat it wasn’t really going to happen. Apparently some guy called Ralf Laue from Leipzig broke the world record by tossing a pancake 416 times in two minutes. 416 times is insanely impressive.
I’m currently working my way through editing photo and video sets to get up on my site. It’s really rather crazy how little of the fun stuff I get to do as there’s always so much post production time involved. More time getting to do myself would certainly get my vote. If I were to have a made a New Year’s Resolution this year it’d be to take at least one day off a week from work. Last week I spent the day wandering around Greenwich taking shots as a favor for a friend for their dating profile on some website somewhere and then we watched the 3:10 to Yuma followed by Psycho (the latter just happened to be on TV as I turned off the DVD), and ate lots of Pizza and other junkfood. I have to say that I was thoroughly disappointed by the 3:10 to Yuma. I was expecting more for my money from a movie with Christian Bale and Russell Crowe, especially when I’d read nothing but good about it. Oh well. Movie recommendations are always welcome.

You could do a cheesy porn remake, The 3:10 to Uma!
I didn’t have any pancakes. :(

I was thinking maybe you could invite me round next time your making some… I’d gladly hire out my amateur camera skills for a few pancakes. ;)

Hi Mike, I didn’t realise that you don’t have Pancake Day over there. It was originally called Shrove Tuesday (the day to use up ingedients before lent for Christians), but it’s mostly known as Pancake Day these days. On that day people make and eat pancakes in the evening. Cool, huh?
They’re British style pancakes that are traditional over here though. Big and skinny, like crepes, and you eat them with sugar and lemon juice on them. But yes, I love blueberry pancakes too… mmm.
