ah, pancakes

My uncle Milford has a Sunday ritual of making pancakes from a non-traditional, healthy mix of flower, oatmeal and corn meal.  When visiting him, pancake Sunday is always the best.  This previous Sunday, I used his recipe for Mother's day, and although they weren't exactly like his, they were good.  I'm thinking of them two days later as I sip coffee and think about the joys of breakfast.  Coupled with New York State maple syrup, there isn't a heartier more satisfying breakfast in the world.  Okay, that's an overstatement.  I actually enjoy all breakfasts, but this one happens to be one of my favorites.
