And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are there cannot be one without the other yet they cannot exist at the same time. ” Speaking about love – this summarize everything !

VALENTINES DAY SPECIAL RECIPES DAY 1
I don’t know whose idea it was to pour the floury batter on a hot griddle and then watched with bated breadth as the pancakes turns into fluffy, flipping goodies, and I bet the most loved fun part is to observe the air bubbles slowly escaping the hot batter, leaving the tiny holes behind which gives the pancakes its characteristic texture. In our house, DH is solely responsible for introducing the pancakes in our breakfast menu, he actually introduced it to me, as it never (don’t know why) occurred to me that the sweet fluffy pancakes can be so damnably delicious, can be made in thousand different flavours and that the most simplest one can be so addictive.
We are one pancake obsessed couple, serve us the simple or with six different flavours we will lap it up at once, and still in love with the first pancakes that we made together, though it was far from perfect, bit lumpy, misshapen, got burnt the other side but we still loved it, and I bet it was good as the others. In a famished belly, you will love the first pancake even better than the rest.
Hungry as we are, for more flavours, for more different ways to enjoy the pancakes like with crispy fried chicken, pancakes are the most loved breakfast meal that we enjoyed making together, and since the first day of its inception in our house to this day, I am still not able to remember its measurements, I always look up to him, and I keep surprising him every time by bringing out different flavours in it, sometimes even with different flours to make it a notch higher in health quotient.
This time it is banana pancakes, fun way to make the simple pancakes sounds yummy without too much effort, with scatters of chocolate chips thrown here and there, yes you read it right, why chocolates can not be part of this extravagant breakfast ! and then dunked in maple syrup and served with some toasted pecans on top of it. It is his favourite flavour, and mine too, well he loved pecans on almost everything !
