Apple Pancakes…Bittman’s Way
I have the recipe for Mark Bittman’s Light and Fluffy Pancakes from his How to Cook Everything cookbook memorized because I have been making them for many many years.

Tonight as I pondered my options for dinner I…

Probably my strongest childhood memories are of sitting around my mother’s round dining room table with my parents and two older brothers as we finished dinner and lingered to talk.
