Gotcha! and buckwheat pancakes

After taking dozens of photos, only these two show you the colour of chocolate boys' eyes.


With a little help from some door bells...GOTCHA!

                          "Don't you just want to eat him up?"
Which brings me to the retired-guys' Buckwheat Pancakes...

They were delicious with the addition of real maple syrup. No bacon for me but apparently that made them even better.
I recommend you try them.

1 cup buckwheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg beaten
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp melted butter

Preheat griddle to 375F
Grease griddle
Mix dry ingredients then add egg, milk and butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes turning when bubbles appear on the surface and edges look cooked.

What is it about old retired guys (his words) and CBC radio?  That's all we listen to in the car now.  However, sometimes good things come of these old guy obsessions.  The buckwheat pancakes being one example.


CBC Radio show discussing wheat free diets  Interview with Dr. William Davis, author of Wheat Belly, and  diet sceptic  Timothy Caulfield, Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy at the University of Alberta.

are wheat free diets a fad?

  3. Didn't have buckwheat p cakes yesterday but tried the frozen GF waffles. Not too bad. Iain heard the interview too. Sounds like a controversial subject. Oh well controversy keeps the world moving I guess. I am doing a flourless chocolate cake for tomorrow ---- gotta be good it is chocolate!!
    Have a good day!
    Those eyes remind me of prized marbles we had as kids. Very very yummy!

How could you just not spend your whole day looking into those amazing eyes and that captivating little face! I've fallen head over heels in love with this little guy. He's breathtaking and radiates sweetness too! Love him!
    I'm trying to stay away from wheat and I feel better. Will def try The Retired Guy's pancakes.

  9. Those eyes are mesmerizing!

    You have to have real maple syrup. Corn syrup and the stuff you see on the store shelves that's been mass produced just won't do. It'll cost you, but the stuff lasts, and it's all the better.

  13. Did you say what Chocolate Boy's name is? Those eyes of his are out of this world!

    Buckwheat pancakes always remind me of my late father, he made them all the time (but from a mix).
