after a fabulous weekend celebrating with our friends and former roommates as they married each other, i completely lost my voice. as i sat in my house voiceless, the first northern california storm of the fall raged outside, and all i wanted to eat was some comfort food. something hearty, filling, easy to make, and above all, delicious.
two of my most favorite people are getting married this weekend, and as the days creep closer, i can barely contain my excitement to celebrate with them! i lived with both of them for many years, but it wasn’t until a few months ago, when i posted my childhood recipe for vegetable pancakes, that i learned how much they loved the dish.
disclaimer: i am not a pastry chef. but i like pie – no, actually i LOVE pie – but i feel like a bit of an amateur, as about half of my crusts used to turned out well, while others turned out soggy or too dark. and honestly, i’m a little nervous posting this because there are so many amazing pie/pastry chefs out there….but here goes with my story of how and why my crusts turn out really well every time now (and because i just wrote this, i’m sure my next one will flop!).
hi friends! we’re back from our east coast / midwest vacation, and i’m still working on getting back in the swing of things. so instead of a real post with a recipe, will you take a link to a ton of pictures from the vacation? and pictures of some of the fabulous food we ate below? pretty please? thanks – i owe you one, and i’ll be back next week with new recipes for y’all!
thanks to the magic of delayed posting, i am not at home typing away right now, but off enjoying boston, portland (maine), new york city, and ann arbor (to see my sister!!!) with mike to celebrate both our wedding (2 year) and dating (10! year!) anniversaries. so while we’re exploring the eastern side of our country, i thought i’d keep you all satiated with my favorite pancake recipe – partly because pancakes are so delicious and partly because my sis-in-law asked me to post the recipe on this site after sampling them.
