I may have hit on the best form of hosting people ever. Pancake breakfasts, man. Worked like a charm. I'm going to do this regularly. It was so easy.
Invited lots of friends over for pancakes anytime on Sunday morning.
Made up two kinds of pancake batter last night.
Made a tofu scramble this morning.
Friends came through, ate pancakes, chatted and left. The table was always full and I actually got to talk to people.
Man, I think this is a winner. It would be super expandable, and it was easy. I'm thinking Second Sundays, or at least the Sunday after Second Saturday every month (because Second Saturday is a huge monthly street fair here). I'm pretty jazzed for pancakes right now: oatmeal, buckwheat, corn-blueberry, sweet potato or squash... I'll always make a protein, too, so that I don't interrupt the meal by gnawing someone's arm off. My friends are gracious and polite, but I still don't want to be tacky.
Anyway, if I have ever done or said anything that gives me any credibility with you, if you trust me at all, you must make these Oatmeal Pancakes. They will make you happy.
I do not cook. That is, like, a rule. But since I am getting my own place and will need to buy oatmeal for it, and since the other recipe you gave me has become, with modification, one of my trademarks, I will have to try this. Oatmeal, yay!

Really? Which other recipe worked for you? The torta? The tomato salad?
OH WAIT! I bet it was the mac and cheese! I'm so glad that's working for you!

Also, be forewarned. The recipe wants to sit for a couple hours. Make it the night before, so you can wake up and make delicious pancakes with no trouble at all.

Yawn.
Bor-reeeng. Like your entire bourgeois existence.

Thanks for the recipe! I made the pancakes this morning (I let the batter sit overnight) and they were A-MAZING. mmm.

I am SO GLAD you liked them. They're so good. You're totally right about letting the batter sit overnight.
