As part of the ongoing family tradition, Saturday morning is pancake breakfast day.  While I was in the US, I picked up a jug of real maple syrup (only the Mrs. Butterworth’s all sugar stuff here) so that we could have proper pancakes.  This morning, Eleri was in her “Me do” mode and wanted to help. 

She did a great job mixing the batter and watching the cakes cook as well as eating.   Now our only problem is that we have not had pancakes since, as we can not find any more proper pancake mix.  When we do find it, we will buy it all, as you never know when the next shipment will come in.  At times, Shanghai is a hardship posting!
