Friday Five -- Time for pancakes!

Where can you get some really good pancakes?
Here. You can get a lot of really good stuff here, actually -- almond challah french toast, egg salad sandwiches with tons of sprouts, incredible teas, great omelets. The pancakes are awesome though.

How do you like your pancakes?
No butter, a little bit of syrup, or Beans and Barley's cranberry compote.

What’s your theory on why restaurant waffles are so much more expensive than pancakes?
Presentation. And Reddi Whip.

The pancake chef is going whip up a batch of the most interesting, creative pancake invention you can imagine. What will you order?
Not really interested. See above. I like things to be what they are, much to the chagrin of Hubby John who likes to experiment.

When was the last time someone made you pancakes, not counting visits to restaurants?
Hubby John makes them on Saturday mornings every once in a while. The last batch he made had a little cinnamon and ginger sprinkled in. Yum.

Proof that I'm not very mature

This headline made me laugh. Twice.

Roundy's Evacuates Over Leak

The story itself is decidedly unfunny. Ammonia leak was detected in grocery store chain's distribution facility. Employees were asked to clear the building . No one was injured or overcome by fumes. Employees returned to building a short time later.

Off to look up boobs in the dictionary.

Proof the world hasn't gone completely nuts

The nest has been irreversibly fouled

Thanks, IU trustees, for taking one of the few things I'm completely passionate about and thoroughly ruining it. What's next? Springsteen dedicating his musical life to smooth jazz? I'm taking to my bed for the next few months.

My biggest question is how long will it take for the overjoyed IU fans to realize it was all Dwyane Wade? And I'm speaking as a proud Marquette grad and fan of the team, just not particularly of the coach. I'm willing to spot them a couple of years. It took us about that long.
