playing god with breakfast

it may not be the world's largest pancake, but it's pretty big.




this baby comes in at 7 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. for those interested, that's 38.5 cubic inches (~630 cubic cm) of pure pancake pandemonium.


the story
i haven't been into lab for a few days, taking some much-needed (apparently) time off from assays and western blots and the like. also i might be somewhat sick. at least that would explain the approximately 26 hours of sleep that i got in the past 2 days. or i could just be lazy. whatever.

anyway, i was cleaning my room when i suddenly had an urge for pancakes. so i made up some batter. i poured a small amount on the skillet, then poured another blob a bit too close to the first one. so they both ran together. then i thought, "aw, frick it" and dumped in the whole batch of batter, which filled the pan up about 3/4 of the way. i kept the heat low so as not to burn the surface, then when the time was right, i flipped the monster pancake into another pan to cook the other side. genius. it came out delicious and fluffy, even though i could only eat half of it. and then i found ten dollars. maybe greg will feature this story in his pancakelog.

ed: that was a delicious pancake. ah, memories. -9/5/06
