Conversations with a Two Year Old

It was dinner time in Cameron land... well, after dinner time to be exact, and I asked Olivia what else she would like, since she was done her plate. Here is how the conversation went:

Me "So, what else would you like?"
Olivia "Applesauce!"
Me "Oh, sorry Sweetie, there is no applesauce left"
Olivia "Yes, Applesauce. Olivia bought some" and she runs off to the pantry, and comes back with a wooden carrot
Me "Oh Olivia, that is a carrot"
Olivia "No. Applesauce!"
Me "No Sweetie, that is a Carrot"
Olivia, in a matter-of-fact tone "No, Applesauce."

That's all for now,

Sour Cream Pancakes Recipe

Prep time: Around 10 minutes  Cook Time:  Around 10-15 minutes

This recipe for sour cream pancakes came from my sister, but I took it and modified it a little to suit my needs.  They are great pancake that everyone has seemed to enjoy.  I suppose if you are a fan of buttermilk pancakes, this recipe will be right up your alley.  Super simple to make, and if there are any leftovers, the toast up well the next day, or make a double batch to ensure that there will be leftovers.  Here are the constituents that you will need:

Dry:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 heaping tsp of baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp sugar
couple of pinches of salt

Wet:
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 2/3 cups of milk
A generous splash of vanilla

In a large bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together.  In another bowl, whisk the eggs then add the rest of the wet ingredients to that bowl.  Finally, pour the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients and whisk together.  Cook in a frying pan with some oil or butter over medium heat, flipping when there are bubbles forming on the uncooked side.

Alternatives:

-I like to have mine with some butter and real maple syrup (I say real, because the fake stuff just, well, tastes fake to me.  Call me a snob, call me what you will, but that is what I think)

-Sylvia likes to have hers with just butter

-Add some chocolate chips into the batter for extra sweet

-Add some raspberries or bananas or shredded apples or whatever fruit you like to the batter, or on top

-Spread some Nutella on them

That's all for now,

Talking with a Two Year Old

I am stealing this title from our friends at craftyave.blogspot.com becuase I thought it was just way too fun. Here is a short conversations I had with Olivia, while I was driving in the car, listening to the radio:

Olivia: "Daddy. Is that Megadeth?"
Me: "No Sweetie, it is U2."
Olivia:"Is that Metagallica?" (Metallica)
Me: "No Sweetie, it is U2."
Olivia: "No, its Megadeth"
Me: "No Sweetie, the band's name is U2."
Olivia: "That's Silly"

All for now,
