Surprise

The past few days my son has been requesting pancakes for breakfast. We kept on turning him down because we wanted to finish the loaves of bread and scones which were near their best before dates. Last night, I promised him that I'd cook pancakes if mama didn't have work. He was very excited.

I was already solved with the idea that I will have a free day today until my mobile rang before 9 pm. Of course my son got a bit disappointed.

Alvin has a plant visit today in Central Coast and he had to leave early. It was a blessing in disguise because I got to wake up early as well. I had plenty of time in my hands that I decided to surprise Liam and cook pancake for breakfast. And since he already knows how to read, I wrote an I love you note for him and Sam, beside his pancake, which I put on his favourite saucer.

This surprise is enough to send happy hormones to my system!

I hope Liam will be delighted.

Got to go. Time to wake up my little boy  :-)

not your ordinary pancakes

As I have mentioned in my previous blog, Liam is slowly getting into cooking. He tirelessly watch videos in youtube about how to make and design cakes and cookies. There is one video however that shows how to cook pancakes with a twist.

This morning, when I asked him what he wanted for breakfast, he told me he wanted pancakes. Of course he wanted to help out as expected, so I let him pour the water and mix the batter. When I started cooking, an idea came to me and I decided to make him special pancakes -- pancake letters that spell his first name! L-I-A-M. It was a hit! :) He got to appreciate it because he can identify the letters already.



My pancakes may not be perfect and the best tasting, but for my son, it was no ordinary pancake and it was enough to start his day and week right :)
