PANNEKAKEN!!!

guys,
it's going to have to get twenty four degrees hotter just to not be any degrees.
that's A*-hole.
negative double digits are for jerks,
and apparently, also for all of new england.
which might be the same thing.
now,
that's a great reason to stay indoors and snuggle up.
but some of us have to work,
which means leaving the house,
which means dying of hypothermia within seven steps out the door*....
unless there's some superior new hottness holding it down
and heating up our barbarian blood-pumphouses....
y'know?
oh, c'mon, you know.
breakfast, neighbors.
i'm alluding to some burly, hearty, insulating edible excellence that'll activate
the fire inside us!!!
hmmm?
yeah, it IS a tall order,
but, i mean, we're just up here shivering and suffering with no good reason not to reach for
some big ol' bad-A* berserker bananen 'kaken.....
that's a real thing, man.
check the teleport:

SLOPPY STACKS ON STACKS ON STACKS!!!!
oatmeal! raspberries! double banana magic! coconut!
real mutha-F*ing new hampshire-tapped maple syrup!!!
...and the twin tastes of family togetherness and active participation,
which happen to make most menus more interesting.
truth.
how does one decide to bring the sloppycake game to the stovetop?
bro, i just told you: it's less-than-no-degrees outside.
we NEED lumbejackin' hotstacks of manly panniecakes for our SURVIVAL.
jeez.
these definitely done did it, tho.
we're still here specifically thanks to the intervention of these epic ho'cakes.
yup.
no doubt about it, these are the jauns that kept us alive yesterday.
(i don't know WHAT is gonna do it today, tho)
you wanna make some of these fat stacks?
ok.
i'll recap our process, for you to replicate at your own igloo of icy doom:

HAVREGRYN BANANEN PANNEKAKEN!!!
-
in a medium bowl, sift together:
3 T sugar;
1/2 tsp salt;
1 cup flour;
2 tsp bakey powder;
1 tsp bakey soda;
1/4 cup quick oats;
1/3 cup coarse oat flour;
4 T shredded unsweetened coconut.
mash in:
2 large ripe bananas;
3 T vegan sour cream;
4 T melted vegan butter.
-
lastly, stir it all up with:
1 cup non-dairy nog;
a dash of cinnamon;
2 tsp vanilla.
-
fold it together and let it rest while you fire up a large skillet with coconut oil.
y'ever made pancakes?
i thought so.
do that, over and over, until the batter is used up.....
but,
make sure to make a SAUCE for 'em.
the citrus-spiked berry jammie-jammin' goodness will carry the day...
it's just berries, agave, powdered sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, and lemon zest, plus heat.
there's no exxxact proportions,
but i'll bet you correctly guessed that i listed the ingredients in descending order of quantity.
yup.
i'm secretly helpful whilst also being encouraging...

the maple syrup is real.
rules is rules, after all....
the bananas on top are almost overkill,
except that too much is the right amount,
and we're up here trying not to freeze to death, kids.
don't begrudge us any exxxtra fruit.
it's imperative to helping us stave off frostbite.
i had ten pancakes.
the were twice as heavy as my usual sunfeathers,
but that was by design.
i stayed warmer for longer, and even found some time to go outside with crabtree.
...but only just barely.
bull terriers are NOT designed for extremes in temperature.
not. one. bit.
i'm not complaining, but we're also not getting enough exercise at the moment.
i s'pose not ripping off his paw pads is a good thing,
but his agitated antics inside the Folk Live & Liberty Fortress 
aren't my favorite thing to come home to.
my kids aren't exactly psyched that they arrived here just in time for an apocalyptic arctic
raging stormswept windy tundra wasteland experience,
but,
that's how it goes.
nature wins, and we lose, at least for now.
we're making the best of it, but it's still getting the best of us,
and bringing out the worst in us, too.
we're frozen,
and the light and the heat are dissipating far faster than we can realistically generate.
this may well be the way we go out;
never quiet, never soft.....
