This is TMI...but it did me...I was up all night with IBS. :P Yup, & I recall resaing Chaucer the fist time & laughing as I'd parsed, out of Middle English, that she sent him off with a "kiss my arse" whebn he exclaimed, "I didst not note she had ever before had a beard!"

I make pancakes from scratch (been doing so since ahe 14) & I separate the eggs & beat the whotes separately, then fold them int to the rest of the better -- makes 1" thick fluffy pancakes to die for! I slap on a coat of butter the second they come off the griddle, then douse in real maple syrup(when I have some) just before eating. . . yum! Best I had was at a friend's German family reunion at a north prairie farm -- real German potato pancakes, & you put your choice(s) of peanut butter, cheddar cheese slices, or applesauce(lumpy home-made) on top -- ooo, baby! Carved up with 4 truly organic free-range eggs & the thickest bacon you ever had, all cooked to perfection!
