I normally rise in the morning when darkness is still cloaking the land.
That's mainly because of Sweetie-Pie, our blasted cat.
She jumps up on my bed and purrs loudly in my ear.
"I'm hungry. Feed me!", she demands.
And she is very persistent so I've just learned to get up and fix her bowl of food and change her water.
Sometimes I go back to bed and some more sleep.
But lately I've been retiring for the night around 8 p.m. (the time I used to head out on the town for a night of alcohol-fueled ribaldry) so by 4 the next morning, if I've had a decent night, I'm ready to rise.
So then I get a cup of coffee, weigh myself, make my bed and dress for the day.
And sit down at my computer desk, aka the International Headquarters of Oddball Observations.
This morning I stumbled across a recipe and when Judy woke (hours and hours later!!) I asked her if we had any apples.
When she answered in the affirmative I told her I was going to make breakfast for the two of us.
About an hour later I served it up.
Fresh from the oven, my take on a German Apple Pancake, aka a Dutch Baby.
Suffice it to say, it was delicious and a big hit.
As confirmed by a note on the recipe that it serves 3 to 4 but we two scavengers finished the entire thing.
If you want to make one this link should take you to the instructions.
Now there's only one problem.
We normally breakfast sparingly through the week and save the occasional feasting for Sunday mornings.
I said to Judy as we were finishing our scarfing, this really is only Thursday but now it feels like Sunday.
So now what am I gonna do?
I used to make a German Apple Pancake on the weekends. Haven't done so in years. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteAnother fine looking dish from your kitchen. Maybe this is a week of Sundays?
ReplyDeleteThis is the week between Christmas and New Year's Day, so extra food doesn't count. In fact, every day is Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat looks yummy! My own sweetie pie likes to scratch on the door of her cat jail about 5 am. Not my preferred time to get up!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with RedPat, this is a week of Sundays. So eat up!
ReplyDeletetc Light/Breezes. Bread and water till Sunday?
ReplyDeleteThat sure looks yummy! I don't have a cast iron pan, tho. Could I make it in a regular frying pan?
ReplyDeleteI agree with "The Bug" - it's a holiday week so you can eat whatever you want! :)
That sounds like a great breakfast. I wonder if I could make it? I know I could eat it.
ReplyDeleteYes, you could, Red.
DeleteThat looks delicious! 👍
ReplyDeleteApple pancakes are good any day. Besides, this coming Sunday is New Years Eve. You can feast then to.
ReplyDeleteBy Sunday your stomach will have forgotten and you can eat your regular big breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteOur cat has a problem of waking me from bed very early, but now I sleep in a chair, and she doesn't bother me there. Don't ask me why or why not.
