Tonight my belly is full of pancakes. Kathy, a good buddy of mine, and I have been eating pancakes together on Mardi Gras Tuesday for over ten years now. We started out meeting up at a local diner-because sometimes you need an adult beverage with your Tuesday night pancakes, right? When that diner closed we found a variety of other places to enjoy pancakes, wine, and friendship.
Recently, we've found it to be just as fun to hang out in the kitchen for a homemade pancake dinner. Tonight Kathy and I hung out at her kitchen counter just like we have on many an occasion. We toasted with a cocktail. We chatted while pancakes were flipped and while they were eaten.
After dinner, the King Cake came out and I was handed the knife to cut the first piece. Whaddya know...there was the baby, ready to bring me luck and prosperity throughout the coming year.
Friendship, pancakes and a little bit of luck. That's what I call a good Tuesday night.

ReplyDeleteFor sure! Nice slice!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect way to spend a Tuesday. I love that the two of you have made a real tradition out of pancakes...and especially that you always include wine. That's a combo that is new to me.
