@Das Ubergeek: My problem on the morning off is really two-fold…
Running around getting ready and getting all “pretty” (HAHAHA) and a certain person can be very restrictive of her kitchen in times of stress…
And…wondering if any of us will actually *sit* down to eat pancakes…I mean fritters and stuff can be eaten on the run…pancakes to some extent but still…eating them seems more time consuming.

Or maybe I can make it as a meal for when we come back from the masjid! Especially if we’re going visiting family!

30 pancakes? hahaha! For 3 of us?
I guess we can invite people back for pancakes :-)

Further update: My cousin (mom’s niece) invited us to come by her for Eid so we might just do that…so instead we might make the gougès and some baklava and carry…
I’ve never really gone anywhere for Eid (except neighbours and maybe brother’s in-laws).

It doesn’t take long to make blueberry pancakes… especially if you mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients the night before. For 30 medium (7 cm?) pancakes, the wet ingredients are a cup and a half of buttermilk or milk, 3 eggs, a teaspoon of vanilla and three tablespoons of melted butter. For the dry you need a cup and a half flour, a quarter cup sugar, a teaspoon and a half of baking powder and a pinch of salt. If you are using buttermilk in your wet add half a teaspoon of bicarb. Whisk them all together, then in the morning pour the wet on the dry, mix 10 times (it will look not mixed enough and this is probably okay) and then cook on a lightly greased griddle or pan, non-stick if possible. If you add blueberries save 1/4 cup of the flour from the dry ingredients and toss the thawed berries with it, then mix into the bowl after you combine wet and dry. It should take you about 10 minutes of preparation the night before and 20 minutes in the morning including cooking time.

Dreams, dreams.
Alhamdulillah allyuh have sweets. Kibbe can assemble in night time when you can try to help…even if it is only to food-process the bulgur…she might let you fry up the beef?
We going to try to make tonight the barfi and gulab jamoon. Need to have enough to take to office, but do we want to fry 3 batches?? And how much can one do with pregnant sister-the-elder? First Eid in Guyana we managed with her just as pregnant, but this time we have the 4 little feet and 4 busy little hands…
