Sick Day

Well, as some of you may or may not know, over last weekend I was ill, stuck in bed all day drifting in and out of sleep. It was quite annoying because I had to cancel plans & no matter how much I slept I still felt tired.

Anyway, come Monday morning, I didn't have my fever, but I was still not 100% so I decided to take a sick day. The pills I'm on have to be taken on an empty stomach, 4 times a day. It's not exactly convenient but I managed to work out a way to take them all within the necessary guidelines. The other thing the doctor told me was 'no dairy' that's ok, except for the part where I can't have ice cream. Not cool.

I'm getting WAY off track. I've recently seen pikelets and pancakes everywhere, so I decided to make some for breakfast. I used a recipe I've never used before, which called for sour cream to go in the batter. We didn't have that, we had vanilla yoghurt, turns out, that works just as well!

Here are some pictures from my 'Return to Childhood Culinary Adventure'. Although it wasn't much adventurous.

Watching the bubbles form + pop



The one stuff up you have with every batch
 


The taste test



It was a small batch. Honest.

 

Smothering it in Nutella - sounds like a good idea. It's not. Stick to butter + jam.

 

One very satisfied child. *grins*

Aw man, I LOVE pancakes. I'm going on a diet tomorrow though, salad salad salad (pancakes) salad. I like pancakes with maple syrup, crispy bacon and fried banana..sounds weird, but rocks my world.

Hope you're feeling much much better darlin'. How long until you go go go?
