It Happened One Cold Night...

There were two girls, there was an epic lineup and a fantastic venue. But, there was rain and freezing cold (for Florida) and soggy grass, wet pants and a wee bit of alcohol induced tomfoolery. Finally, there was a difficult decision that ended in quite possibly the best night of pancakes in the world.



In honor of those memories tonight (this was composed on Wed. night) is breakfast for dinner night.



Pumpkin Pancakes with Cinnamon Orange Glaze

(adapted from heart-healthy living)



Pancakes:

2c flour

2T. baking powder

4T. brown sugar

(I used turbinado sugar)

1/2t. salt

1/2t. pumpkin pie spice

1 1/2c. fat-free milk

(I only had whole)

1/2c. frozen/refrigerated egg product

(I used 2 lg. eggs)

1c. canned pumpkin



Combine dry and whisk to break up.

Add wet and combine *do not over mix.

Butter or spray pan and cook on low until small bubbles form on the surface and flip.



Glaze:

1c. orange juice

2T. honey

2 1/2t. cornstarch

1/4t. ground cinnamon



Place all ingredients in a small skillet and simmer/stir until thickened.



*This recipe is perfect for making freezer pancakes for a quick weekday breakfast! Let the extras cool completely before freezing. To reheat just pop into the toaster.

Pollocking Fun

Dear Art Fans,

Have you ever wanted a Pollock-esque painting in your room? Do you get bored throughout the day? Well, I have just discovered the most amazing/fun/entertaining thing to do - it is also quite meditative.

Jackson Pollock by Miletos Maneta is a fun website where you use your mouse to create Pollock like images of splatter painting.  It is ridiculously fun to do.  For all you techies, it is even available for the iPhone or the new contraption of awesome created by Apple the iPad.  This is art on the move, people.

If you don't feel like making your own art, everyone should go see the Rockwell exhibit at the Fort Lauderdale Art Museum. It closes on February 7!  Also it is one of the rare times that the museum has a huge name and exhibition.  I would defiantly check it out.

Forever Art,
KT
