I Got Some Pancake Mix!

In addressing a rising internet meme (see the video immediately below) I offer the following recipe, suitable, as usual, for Sunday mornings.  Many thanks to two of my students for the suggestion -- to protect the innocent, let's call one of them "Dragon Fist" and the other "Preston."






"I Got Some Pancake Mix!" Pancake Mix

MIX!
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

TO PREPARE PANCAKES!
1 egg
3/4 cup milk

Behold the power of Flapjack Jesus

DIRECTIONS!
In a bowl, sarcastically combine the first six ingredients. Store in a ridiculously airtight container in a cool, dry, and stylish place for up to 6 months, or 180 days, whichever comes first. To prepare pancakes: In a bowl (perhaps the same bowl as before), combine egg and milk. Aggressively whisk in 1 cup of the pancake mix. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top of pancakes. Cook until second side is goldeny brown.  Consume.  Lather, rinse, repeat.

A Map of State Movies

From the awesome blog Strange Maps and Frank Jacobs, in anticipation, I suppose, of tomorrow's election, we have a map of the 48 states that suggests which movie should be most strongly identified with which state.  I am pleased to have a strong geographical connection with both Shawshank Redemption (Maine) and Scarface (Florida).

It Goes To 11 and Has Electrolytes

The hair's getting long and unruly again. My wife came back from the store today having purchased a giant tube of hair gel, and she enjoyed making fun of the label.  We note several features:

• Not satisfied with 10, this gel goes to 11.
• It is activity-proof , which is fortunate, because it is apparently marketed to marathoners, who, as I seem to remember, are somewhat active at times, and, surprisingly, fret the entire race about the state of their hair.
• It's got electrolytes, which hair needs.
• The bubbles in the gel don't move when you shake the container. This is the kind of control I need.
• If you look at the clock in the background of the label, the gel may actually last only nine minutes. Nobody has ever run a marathon in nine minutes, although some have come close.  But their legs exploded.
