What day is it today?

Pancake day of course!  My first pancake day since discovering cooking, and also my first pancake day of actually having a decent camera to hand (as well as, you may notice, the first post of this blog with a decent camera to hand - it can only get better from here on in terms of picture quality!) 

My intentions of pancake day were to have more than one round of pancakes over the course of the day, to include a savoury option, but alas the savoury pancakes never occured and I am instead destined to only have these ones to brag about. But they were most definitely worth the bragging - fluffy American pancakes with freshly whipped cream, chopped strawberries, dark chocolate chips and a milk chocolate sauce. Greediness at it's finest!  I also made a second batch for the boyfriend with banana and maple syrup, but unfortunately his patience does not last as long as mine and the plate had dissapeared to be demolished before the camera lens had even been removed...

Happy Shrove Tuesday everyone.
