Pancake Breakfast for Dinner

Today is National Pancake Day (2/28/12)... Some of you may have gone to IHOP to indulge in their free pancake give away, but I wanted to make some special pancakes for Marley.

I usually just grab a box of the pre-made mix from the store... if you want quick, you can totally dress up these mixes. 

But it being National Pancake Day and all, I wanted to try out a homemade pancake mix. I found many mixes online, the one I used tonight was from allrecipes.com and I just added vanilla extract to the recipe.)

Oeufs pochés ... échec

The French language is so beautiful! Oeufs pochés ... échec certainly looks a lot better than Poached Eggs... Fail. Late Sunday morning, I finally took on the poached eggs recipe and attempted to make Eggs Benedict with asparagus for brunch. Maybe 'Fail' is too harsh, because it wasn't entirely bad... just not up to my own personal expectations. I often find myself having too high of hopes for my cooking. I let it get to me when something doesn't turn out right. But I'm trying to accept and anticipate that I won't always get it right the first time, but I will always have a second time to try again.
