I have to eat my pancakes at the airport?
Hmm. So I randomly came across a European import store somewhere down on Terminal Ave. the other day when I was out shopping for hula hoop supplies. I found fun things like a nutella equivalent in a tube! I also found some german pancakey mixes, including this one for "Apfel-Pufferchen":
So anyhow, tonight I decided to take a closer look at what is involved in preparing my pufferchen. It looks to me like all I do is add 150mL of milk and 1 egg, mix it together, and cook like mini pancakes. I guess there are already apfels in there. But just for the heck of it, I decided to type the instructions (which are only and entirely in German) into google's translator (without including any of the umlauts because they're too much work to type and not including them makes the results so much more interesting). Here is what came out:
1. 150ml milk into a ruhrschussel type. 1 egg and add and mix with a whisk to a smooth dough verruhren.
2. in a large pan coated clarified butter or margarine over medium heat erwarmen. for each buffer chen essloffel a batter and give it over medium heat on both sides until golden brown bake.
3. apple-chen buffer on a plate and at the airport with powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar and serve.
Ok, all was well until step three. "AT THE AIRPORT"?? Where did that come from?

ps. would anyone like to join me at the airport for some pancakes?
