Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I fancied pancakes the other week, so I made a batter without following a recipe because I didn't have one. It worked fine though and the pancakes were very tasty. But I fancied finding a recipe for the thicker american-style pancakes, mostly because the only measuring stuff I own is a set of US standard cups, so recipes that use that are good for mice :) I found the perfect recipe on www.allrecipes.com and I tried them out last night.

OM NOM NOM NOM!!

DEEE-licious!

I had one with the traditional sugar and lemon and two with chocolate - I just pressed a square of Galaxy chocolate onto each one when they were fresh out of the pan and the residual heat soften it beautiful so it was all melty and tasty :) And the good thing is the batter will make more pancakes than I can eat in a sitting so I had batter for today too. Just scoffed another batch. Lovely!

So far today, I've done some kitchen tidying/cleaning, paid the mortgage, watched the football and spent far too much time poking Facebook. It worries me how addictive that is. Must prise self off!...later....:D

I went shopping last night (pay day! Yay!) and I have suitable snack food for the SuperBowl tomorrow. It's a tradition that I MUST have loaded potato skins and so I have ;) I usually also have pizza but have skipped it this time as I decided to buy other snack food instead. As for who I want to win, well, with all respect to e_musings, I'm kinda rooting for the Cards. However, I'll be thrilled for her if the Steelers win (which I think they will, to be honest, I think they're the stronger team). Either way, I'm hoping for a great game! I've taken Monday morning off work so I can stay up late to watch the whole thing! Hee :D

Interesting week this past week. First of all, PartyGirl and I were so efficient, we've basically run out of work to do. This is ok for her, she can make stuff up. It's more difficult for me, however, to look busy right now. Tuesday was a nightmare of dull, dull, dull in Dullsville, which makes for a long day. It wasn't as bad the remainder of the week, but it was slow enough I was forced to draw my lack of work to BigBoss's attention.

The result?

SickNote, who's job this is, has been avoiding doing some major archiving and boxing up of old files for weeks. She was supposed to start the work last week and promptly went off sick for two days. Not a coincidence, I feel. Now, however, her skiving has paid off, because it'll be me lugging files off shelves, putting paper into boxes and carting the results up to the loft.

Charming.

I'm not pleased.

Anyway, today I was supposed to do the following:-

Get up early
Go shopping for a new mattress, an air bed for Sherbs to sleep on and one or two other sundry items.
Get back, watch the rugby
Start cleaning kitchen
Clean bathroom

Failed totally to get up early so I've skipped all the shopping and gone right to "watching the rugby" :P I must, however, get off my fat, lazy, mousey arse and start cleaning something tonight. Or I'll have to do it all tomorrow and miss the football *nods*

Oh and I forgot to warn work I'd be late in on Monday. Buggerit. It's Superbowl Sunday tomorrow and I wanna stay up and watch. Kinda torn on who to cheer for but I sorta want the Seahawks, I think. However, I think the Steelers will get it *nods*.

Ooh! I know! I can text PartyGirl on Monday and ask her to let folkses know I should be in by 11 and to apologise on my behalf for the lack of warning! Problem solved! Hurrah!
