Althouse: I don't know about you, but we had orange juice and pancakes for breakfast.

I don't know about you, but we had orange juice and pancakes for breakfast.

It's pretty much like that around Meadhouse on a typical morning.

Except he's using a metal spatula on a non-stick surface.; 12/11/11, 9:27 AM

And yes, metal spatula on non-stick is a world-class rookie move.; 12/11/11, 10:26 AM
Tyrone Slothrop said...: The woman tells the psychiatrist,"My husband insisted I see you just because I like pancakes!"

The psychiatrist says, "You don't say! There's nothing wrong with pancakes. I love 'em myself."

Sez the woman, "Then you must come to my house some time. I have suitcases full of 'em!"; 12/11/11, 10:26 AM
Tim said...: I'm guessing his mom lets him live in her basement; boy, is she gonna be pissed when she sees her non-stick pan all scratched up.

No more kitchen rapping privileges - it's Top Ramen from here on out.; 12/11/11, 10:29 AM
ricpic said...: I got all anxious about the big stack of pancakes that were LOSING HEAT! while he rapped. Where was whoever whisks them to the table before they turn COLD?! I'm clearly not laid back enough for that household.; 12/11/11, 11:06 AM

I think the piles of pancakes represent all the earlier takes of the song.; 12/11/11, 11:12 AM

Does Amazon have comparable after Christmas sales?; 12/11/11, 11:27 AM

Bob_R said...: Same reaction as ricpic. Those pancakes on the bottom of the stack are COLD! There have to be some sacrifices for art, but cold pancakes is going too far (especially for THIS art.); 12/11/11, 12:34 PM
Ralph L said...: Polenta is too close to placenta to ever be appetizing.

Where can I find a non-metal, non-melting spatula?; 12/11/11, 2:28 PM
Chip Ahoy said...: Ralph, Amazon. Search silicone flexible turner. Apparently, the nylon spatulas melt, according to ratings. To the portal !; 12/11/11, 3:22 PM

Harsh Pencil said...: Teflon is evil. All good people ban it from there houses. I make myself an omelet most days on a conventional All-Clad pan and it never sticks. First canola spray, then butter, swish around, then eggs. Don't touch for 30 seconds then shake pan. If it sticks, it's not hot enough or you didn't use enough butter.

In fact, not enough fat is almost always the problem. People who teflon have a thing against fat. They shouldn't.; 12/11/11, 8:02 PM
Harsh Pencil said...: their houses (not there houses). I always do that. (and write no for know and so on.); 12/11/11, 8:03 PM
caplight said...: Pancakes last me about an hour tops and then I'm hungry again. Too much sugar.; 12/11/11, 8:14 PM
Moose said...: Harsh - check out Greenpan - stuff is silica based. Heat resistant up to 850 F. Works like a charm. Love it.; 12/11/11, 9:23 PM
Harsh Pencil said...: Moose,

Thanks for the suggestion (I mean that) but no thanks. Plain old All-Clad works fine. For the life of me, I have no idea other than an irrational fear of fat why people use any kind of non-stick pan.; 12/11/11, 10:16 PM
