Help The Gulf Coast

Dear Emily,
What’s up with all the posts? I mean this in the best possible way: you talk too much.
All my love,
Your Lone Reader

Dear Lone,
Just one more this week, I swear!
e

Etsy’s got a collaborative shop where all the proceeds will Help the Gulf Coast. I made an Itty Bitty Pelican to help out!

PELICAN

He’s even got an Itty Bitty Fishy snack!

I think I’ll make a few more for my own shop. If I sell 10 in the shop, there’s enough profit to adopt a real pelican through Tri-State Bird Rescue. Which would be pretty cool.

Lofty goals. I has them.

Hold the Eggs

Can’t take a pretty picture of pancakes when you’ve eaten all the pancakes.

Pancakes Sans Eggs
1 c. flour
1 T. sugar
1 T. baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 c. soy/organic/almond/whatever milk
2 T. vegetable oil
Sprinkle of chocolate chips* (not at all optional)

Whisk up all the dry.
Whisk in the wet.
Into the hot (lightly greased) frying pan! You all know how to cook a pancake. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top of the wet batter when you first pour it in if desired. And who wouldn’t desire?
1/4 cup scoops of batter will yield 6 pancakes. I make four smaller pancakes out of a halved recipe when it’s just Ellie and me.
Slather with fat** and maple syrup.

I found this recipe at Happy Little Vegans. I like them better without the 1/2 t. of cinnamon.

Chickens have it rough. Give them a break on Pancake morning.

*Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips are produced with no help from cows and (in my opinion) are the best chips in the grocery store.
**If you’re already using margarine, give Earth Balance a try. It melts beautifully, is non-hydrogenated and doesn’t even contain the little bit of milk that the others do. If I can get it at my Wal-Mart, I’m sure y’all can find it at the grocery store.
