We have had Ella - my three year old niece - for the past week and will have her until Wednesday. Her parents (and my parents too) are in Ethiopia adopting her baby brother! So we stayed at my parents' house to help take care of the pets there and to just enjoy the fun swimming pool and all there is to do outdoors there. It was a mini-vacation for us even though I'm a bit jealous I can't be in Ethiopia!!! But we have had wonderful, fun-filled days and enjoyed Ella so much.
Well the first morning the kids asked Zach to make pancakes because it is kind of a tradition that my dad always makes pancakes for them when we are at his house. So Zach began mixing the batter, heated the pan, and proceeded to pour the first pancake in to cook. It was a little on the runny side so he thought "add more flour"...
That didn't help and they began to get more runny, so he added a bit more with the same result. He was so confused but at least the kids were talking about how yummy they were. They were saying things like, "These are even sweeter than Puddy's". That was the first clue! He finally tasted them and realized that he had added powdered sugar instead of flour! It is quite deceiving in these glass jars!
