Pancakes, For The Dog, The Husband, And Last of all - Me

Yesterday I had a craving for pancakes.
So, I made some pancakes.

Mmm, pancakes with honey and lemon juice. Delicious!

I don't think pancakes are just for 'Pancake Day' I could happily eat them every day. Pancakes are very versatile; I like them hot, cold, sweet, and savoury. Perfect!

Although I usually prefer savoury pancakes, yesterday I fancied something sweet, so I ate mine with honey and fresh lemon juice.
Mr.R also had honey and lemon on his pancake.

It was a nice warm day; Barley dining alfresco - he's got us well trained

Barley, our lovely Lurcher, ate his pancake plain, fresh from the pan.
How do you like your pancakes?
Do you only eat pancakes on 'Pancake Day'?
Do you like sweet or savoury pancakes?

Fish!

Brain food. 

Mr.R is the cook in our home, thankfully, as I don't particularly enjoy cooking. 

He prefers to be in the kitchen on his own, so I don't see much of him in the hours before lunch, because he's busy in the kitchen preparing and cooking our lunch. 

We eat our main meal of the day at lunchtime nowadays. 

We always used to eat our main meal for dinner, in the evening, but when we moved to France, for some reason we never felt hungry in the evenings, so we wouldn't eat anything all day other than lunch, which was usually a sandwich or something light. 

By sandwich, I obviously mean baguette - we were in France. Eating baguettes is the law. 

So, we swapped our main meal from dinner in the evening, to lunch - at lunchtime. 

Mr.R busies himself in the kitchen with all manner of things; grinding spices, chopping vegetables, making sauces, baking bread....... 

You name it, he does it, all in an effort to make us delicious, nutritious healthy lunches. 

I say effort, simply because that's how I view cooking, or anything that involves spending time in the kitchen. Mr.R says it's no effort at all, he says he enjoys cooking. And I enjoy the fact that he enjoys spending so much time making food for us. 

The way to my heart is most definitely via my stomach.

This photo is of a lunch Mr.R made us a while ago. 

It was during the warmer weather, and it was very tasty.

Mmm, delicious!
We had a bottle of Glenelly Chardonnay 2012 with our lunch.
It was a pleasant wine, and a change for us as we very rarely drink white wine.
