Sometimes I stop by

I know I'm truly terrible about writing in this blog. But I'm just as awful about just about everything. My garden has gotten so full of weeds we're going to just till it under and start all over again. Classic. Start the garden at the very end of July. I am interning in a law office which is much better than not working at all, and I rather enjoy it. At least it is interesting, although it is also sad a lot of the time. It is a family law office, and people who are going through easy, amicable divorces do not really need an attorney. We mostly see people going through hell. I am trying not to compensate with food. Last night I did make something both terrible and wonderful.

Macaroni and cheese pancakes.

2 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups a.p. flour
Salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup malt powder

1 cup elbow macaroni, cooked tender
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Beat eggs, milk, and vanilla until foamy, 3 minutes. Beat in oil. Add flour, salt, baking powder and malt. Mix in gently and quickly. Let sit while heating a greased cast iron pan over high heat. Drop 1/2 cupfuls of batter into pan and cook until bubble begin to form and break. Sprinkle a handful of noodles over batter. Sprinkle a handful of cheese over noodles. Flip. Cook till cheese is melted and a little crispy. Pile up on a plate. Makes 6-8 pancakes.

I tried these with both maple syrup and sriracha. Both were delicious in their own way.
