Pancakes and beer

Not together, of course.

I've always made pancakes from a mix, but recently someone mentioned they always make pancakes form scratch ... to which I thought, "Why am I not making them from scratch?" So, I looked up a recipe online and made them from scratch. It took twice the time as adding water to a mix (so four minutes instead of two), and they were delicious.

The recipe I used is here. If anyone has a favorite pancake recipe to share, let me know.

The beer is from earlier this week. I went to my favorite beer bar, Churchkey, and drank a Barrel-Aged Mama's Little Yella Pils by Oskar Blues. It's a pilsner aged in port wine barrels for five months (or so). It had great flavors and was definitely something I can't find just anywhere.

Also, Churchkey had a nice compliment for Schalfly in this tweet from yesterday:

NEW DRAFT: Schlafly American IPA: We can't get enough of this fantastic brew...balanced malt w/ tingly pine flavors and apricot aromas

I'd prefer if they had the Kolsch again, but at least Schlafly is getting some nice recognition!
