Behold, the mountainous bounty from my cast iron pans!

I had some leftover orange juice and decided to make a double batch of my weekend pancakes for the freezer. This way, I’ll be able to have them for breakfast before going to work in the mornings. I don’t usually make them thick, that’s how the batter turned out, but since they’ll be re-heated in the toaster or microwave (yuck) this was actually a good thing. Half were plain, and I threw in some dehydrated blueberries into the remainder to mix it up a bit.

Another good thing is that I’ll be able to use up a little more of the organic maple syrup I acquired from my CSA last Fall. I didn’t notice until today that I still have a can leftover from 2008 and I have eight cans from 2009!

Speaking of maple syrup… see that swing-top bottle in the photo? I lugged that back (empty) from NYC last summer. It was an impulse beer purchase from Whole Foods’ crazy-ass beer store. I’ve got a thing for swing-tops, and it seemed like such a waste to leave it behind, seeing as it’s so nice and sturdy. Plus, as soon as I saw it I knew a full can of maple syrup would fit in it perfectly — and it does!
