Pancakes and Evil Laughs

For breakfast I made gluten-free pancakes!!

This is a victory!!! These are the best pancakes I've ever made, gluten-free or otherwise. You may ask, "Pam, what exactly makes these pancakes better than any other ones you've ever made?"

And I will respond, "Well there are several components to these pancakes that only the best gluten-free chefs know about." The real secret is: cook them all the way through, watch them while you're cook, don't set the smoke detectors off, beat the eggs before putting them in, add maple syrup instead of regular on top at the end, have confidence in your awesome chef skills, top off your coffee, and do a victory dance preceding an evil laugh.

And speaking of awesome chef skills, later today I am going to attempt gluten-free cake cookies for Shakespeare's birthday party tomorrow in my literature class. I'm going to use this recipe from Cookin' Cowgirl and substitute a GF Betty Crocker mix. You know, if they don't turn out, people won't know that it's just my cooking; they'll chalk it out to it being a gluten-free problem. Maybe I won't tell them that they're gluten-free!!

P.S. Happy birthday Shakespeare!!
