My Pancake Recipe and a Wonderful Day

How cool is this?

  I advertise a local breakfast feast and 110 people show up!!

It was almost surreal.  I have been spending so much time

at Lily's, all full of quiet and reflection and presto, within

hours it was filled to the brim with joyous people,

the wonderful restaurant sound of clinking plates and

cups, laughter and really good food

At one point I had to just smile and rejoice 

Whatever I do next at Lily's I am committed to no GMO's and

Saturday's blueberry pancake and syrup extravaganza was the kick off.

Everything except the strawberries and flour was sourced locally,

organic and easily available.

Friends volunteered to help and my "kids" came back to hustle the dishes  

I cannot even begin to express

my gratitude, to all of them and to my community for such a

wonderful day

 I will admit that I forget how stressful the half an hour before

an event can be, while you are trying to get everyone going and

finish all the last minute things.  I was amazed how quickly my zen

attitude flew out the open window.  Especially when Renee was

telling me we had a line and I was still trying to get pancakes out

The first platter was filled at what I thought was well after 8 am 

until Jon must have seen my panic and told me it was only 7:50!

What the hell!!

Let the laughter begin!

And don't take the syrup for granted.

 This was a tough year for it and

we are so fortunate Carding Brook Farm makes us a priority

 Local Blueberries, 44 North Coffee, Claudette's crepes,

Old Ackley Farm eggs,

seriously, my cup runneth over

And to give back I've decided to share my pancake recipe - something

people have asked me for for years

Cheers!
