We're back from a long weekend in Oregon. There're always about a million things to do when we get back from a trip; even more so with VKNW coming up. While we were down, I got to celebrate my first Mother's Day AE. There were chocolate pancakes with chocolate syrup, pecan whipping cream, and strawberries. It's a recipe from my cookie cookbook that I've wanted to try for years, but they always seemed like too much effort. Daniel made them, and he says they weren't too bad. So, chocolate pancakes may become a Mother's Day tradition.
