ITT we talk about baking

If someone has a great pancake recipe, it sounds like many of us could benefit from having it posted. I like to make mine with whole wheat flour and blueberries, but they always turn out thicker than I'd like. I keep using the same recipe, but I really need a better one.

Okay, this is sort of off track, but daughter and I went in a local bakery today and were eyeing the cupcakes. I was particularly interested in one of the day's cupcake specials: Frat Boy. What, I had to ask, is in a Frat Boy cupcake?

The cake was a chocolate and Guinness cake with a salted caramel filing. The icing was a beer buttercream topped with a salted pretzel. "It really tasted like a beer cupcake," she said.

Totally cracked me up.
