Pancake suprise Plus

At Christmas Steve always buys me a utensil for the kitchen that I think "what the?!" and end up loving it.
This year was no different. It's bigger than it looks. It could lift an entire omelette, pizza or cake.

 I used it to make the kids some super-sized American pancakes (I totally kicked butt with the recipe)

 

What's the surprise you ask?  Well, after cooking and flipping the first side of the first pancake, something smelt odd.

Riley was up on the counter watching... I smelt him. Nope. I smelt me. Nope. I smelt the spatula and said, "oooh, this smells a bit odd" and Riley replied, "I wee on it"

(me) "urgh! .... You WEEED on it?!"

(Riley) "Yeth"

(me) "Did you wee on anything else?"
(Riley) "Yeth"
(me) "what?... in the drawer?"
(Riley) "Yeth"
(me) "Did you pee.. in the DRAWER!?"
(Riley) "Yeaahhh!...(big grin).... No."

So even though it's only flipped one pancake (which was quickly binned) before being scrubbed in hot water, it was a good flip. Then off I went to smell the rest of the drawer's contents, just to check.

Here's Steve's birthday Pavlova to go with an almost surprise birthday BBQ. Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

 

 PLUS Lucas' ouchie. The poor little kid stubbed his toe and his whole foot was swollen for a good couple of days. He's fine now.

 

And finally... 

A late Christmas card from a friend. Looks pretty standard right? That is until you look at the back and realise who painted it...

 

.. and how.

 What a lovely cause to support. Thanks Sarah.
