Jim's Pancakes: A Blog About Pankcakes

Seriously. It's a blog about pancake-making. How awesome is that?

Not just any pancakes, either. These are elaborate, sculpture pancakes that are eaten afterward. I haven't read anything like all the entries, but I first got snagged by the Star Wars pancakes (an AT-AT and the Millennium Falcon, as of this writing). There's also a carousel pancake, which I adore.

It looks more complicated than I want to try at home, just now, but he does provide directions for each pancake sculpture, often including videos, and they seem pretty clear, and he's written a book as well.

How Long Does It Take Snails to Eat Paper?

Also known as Snails eat paper?! Just a small link to one of my favorite blogs, Am I Bugging You Yet?

Vanessa cardu took the time to photograph snails eating paper, and to make an estimate of how long it took them.

It made me smile. I hope you do, too.

And Another Blog to Follow

Having fallen in love with The Invisible Kingdom, I did what one does these days: I checked to see if the author had a blog. He does, and Small Wonders looks like another blog to keep reading. It's fun & funny & has fantastic links (like this one on space pens, embedded in this commentary).
