Since yesterday was Shrove Tuesday, I made pancakes for supper last night and I decided to try Chef Anne's trick of beating the egg whites and then folding them into the batter. We like!

Good to know. I was excited because pumpkin pancakes are my favorite. Yes, I know MC, you don't like pumpkin. Since having them a year and a half ago at the Carolina RenFest, my kids now ask for crêpes instead of pancakes. Last Saturday it was candied acorn squash stuffed crêpes.

Chopped dessert basket: Cosmo mix, biscotti, dried apples, edible flowers...where's the challenge in that??

Pain Perdu should be illegal on Chopped. If they're going to do it, they should at least be required to admit that they made frickin' French Toast.
