I don't get why someone would precut their pancakes.

You slice up everything on your plate as soon as it lands on the table in front of you, while continuing your loud conversation with the other people at your table (or at the next table, or with the waitress, or just to yourself, muttering). Then you can one-hand everything, leaving your other hand for coffee, orange juice, and wild gesticulating. That the syrup goes where it goes is irrelevant.

C'mon, your user name is Ben Quebec. Surely you're familiar with the idea of waving your hand around while stuffing your face and complaining about the government?

No. You keep the syrup off to the side of the plate or a separate bowl and you dip your pre-buttered pancake squares into the syrup. Perfect ratio every time, and the bottom pancake doesn't turn into mush. I will not be taking further questions

Somehow the quebecois is correct. Lift the cake, add a little, repeat.

Then you have maple bacon, maple eggs, maple eyes, maple legs. Eventually you just move to Vermont and have maple wife.

1) Roll up your buttered pancake.

3) Pour syrup in one end
4) Bite

I removed a bald-faced hornet's nest from a bush in my yard and kept it.



Protips:

1) Bald-faced hornets, like most of us, are actually pretty chill if you don't gently caress with them or their home. I could stand two feet from the nest and they just...flew past me to get wood pulp & water.


2) Wait until at least late September or October
3) Wait until it gets below 50-degrees
4) Look for signs of unrepaired damage (the nests get torn by high winds, they will repair it within a day or two)
5) Once confirmed, approach the nest late at night and spray a quick shot of mosquito repellent in the opening while retreating briskly (it helps to have a few beers first).
6) If no response to DEET is forthcoming (This means the queen has died or migrated into a ground burrow for the winter and whoever is left is waiting to die), get boozed up, and around midnight, get your drunken neighbor to stand by with a large trash receptacle with lid at the ready. Have him cut the branches holding the nest and then lower it swiftly but carefully into the can & slap on the lid.

After this I put a Raid Fumigator (edit: which issues only dry smoke via a chemical reaction with water) on top of the nest and taped the lid onto the trash can & left it for 24-hours.

Profit:



edit: and yes, the sight of it can provoke a visceral response in some folks. And no, it's not a table centerpiece, you dingdongs. :)

Cool. Just what my wife and I surely have always wanted. A raid scented, fear inducing, fragile, unsanitary table centerpiece that only prompts questions of "What" and "Why" and no one would really care what the answers were. Awesome. (Neat little project tho)


Also, re: pancakes; No dipping into a separate bowl. Pre-butter and syrup, but no pre-cutting, that's fuckin' weird. The hell is wrong with you? That's signs of autism or some other obsessive compulsive issue. However, that said, I'll also label myself as such because I don't like them around my eggs, because I don't like syrup on eggs. I'm not normally a "Oh no! Don't let foods touch!" baby because I think that poo poo is stupid. In this case, I just don't like syrup on eggs :/ Getting some on hashbrowns/bacon though is ok.

Honey is the secret ingredient in my homemade pizza sauce as well.

I use canned, diced roasted tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and a bit of honey (I try to keep it light), and then as it cooks, sorta mash up the tomatoes until it gets to a 'rough puree' stage. *kisses fingers* *farts gently*

Honey on pizza is pretty normal in the bay area. Not really trying to put it in the sauce though. You want the flavor contrast of the acidic sauce and sweet honey, ideally with sliced pickled peppers or something else with a vinegar profile.

The Bay Area has a lot of terrible pizza. And some good pizza. It is a land of contrasts, and horrible traffic.

I despise sweet things for the most part, but the best use of honey for me is this thing a friend of mine recommended that is apparently an old Jewish thing: tiny drops of honey right on each bite of a granny smith apple. Really tasty
