Pancakes for Lunch
Mark your calendars and save the date: it’s pancake time.
The Twin City Kiwanis Club’s annual pancake and sausage extravaganza is Friday, Feb. 13 at the Benton Convention Center - I noticed a sign up this morning on my way into work. There’s something comforting about eating breakfast for lunch, especially in the dead of winter. I’ll never forget when I was a photographer in college, shooting a similar (albeit much smaller) event at a local church. The griddle was circular, and one cook stood on one side, pouring batter. By the time the grill had rotated a full circle, it was time to flip the flapjacks. Looks like the Twin City guys use something similar. What a great invention!
I’m particularly found of the Kiwanis Club’s sausage, which I recall as peppery. This year I’m bringing my own syrup, though - I’m tired of that fake stuff, and I’ve got a good stash of Grade A Dark Amber from upstate New York at home.
