Pancakes and …

We had pancakes this morning and savory squash cheese bread for supper tonight.

The pancakes were toasted a golden brown and served with maple syrup.

As Michael said, “Maple syrup is the usual topping for pancakes.”

He ate three.

I wanted to eat three.

 Tonight we had Savory Squash Cheese Bread. I asked Miranda if she could ever make it that good again. She said yes, but that is hard for me to believe for I was tasting something that was already a moment of perfection.

 Add to that, the 6 of us ate 6 ½ large elk steaks. I asked Richard whom he thought had eaten the most, since he was cutting it up and delivering it to people. He pointed to Alice and Betty – two big meat eaters.

 “What is so good about elk steak,” he went on, “is that the taste lingers in your mouth long after you have swallowed the meat. “

And yes, I have three little carnivores it would seem,” he said, adding Michael into the mix of the three people who went after the elk steak tonight.
