Pancaked

I realized today that it has been a whole week since I last posted so I will try to make up for that with a post-a-day *this* week!

New flavor of the day: Mango buttermilk pancakes. Magnolia Café is where it's at. (I'll admit that Kerbey Lane makes a fine gingerbread pancake but Magnolia's will always hold a special place in my heart.)

After today, I am once again amazed by the versatility of certain foods. For example, I like how you can add such a wide variety of things to pancakes and they still, in some miraculous way, turn out tasting really good. Perhaps I'm not picky enough or too easily impressed, or maybe some foods are just really special that way. (Oatmeal is another close relative to the pancake in this respect.)

Overall, the mango turned the typical pancake eating experience into a very exotic and enjoyable one. I like tropical foods - the bright colors, the rich and vibrant flavors. It made breakfast a little more exciting. Especially with a little cactus nectar drizzled on top.
