Day 2 of my crazy sleep experiment
May 13, 2012 What's Going On
Day two of my Everyman Sleep Schedule was totally messed up by something completely out of my control, so I think I might be back at square one. :-( And yes, I’m still wearing yesterday’s clothes. It was a rough night.

How to make perfect pancakes
Oct 11, 2011 Cooking & Baking
I make pancakes every weekend, and on an occasional weekday if the kids beg hard. Sometimes I make my own batter, but most of the time I use Aunt Jemima Complete mix – just add water!
I’ve learned a few useful things over the years:
- Whether you’re using an electric griddle or a pan, let it preheat for a long time. You want the heat evenly distributed across the whole surface, and you don’t want the temperature to change while you’re in the middle of cooking.
- Don’t mix your batter too much, just enough to get everything incorporated and most of the lumps gone.
- After mixing, let the batter sit for at least ten minutes. Bubbles should form on the top.
- Use vegetable oil to grease the pan. Butter will burn, and olive oil will taste funny.
- Serve the pancakes immediately. You can keep them warm for a short period of time in a 200 degree oven, but they’re best if eaten right away.
- Take the syrup out as soon as possible so that it can come to room temperature. Don’t warm it up – it gets too runny.
And now, how to make perfect pancakes!

My family’s been gone for six days, and they’re coming home to a house transformed. If they mess it up I will kill them.

Back in Brooklyn
Jul 17, 2010 Amy in the Morning
I’m back home in Brooklyn, happy to see my family. And they were happy to see me! And I got all of my fridge magnets. :-) Oh, and I fixed the mic problem…after I made this video. Sorry! But the next one will be louder.
