Pizza and Pancakes (…with Date Syrup)

We still find it hard to believe that we’re actually living here. Plus, we’ve been globetrotting quite a bit the past few years, so it’s hard to grasp the idea that we have full-time jobs and are settled. “Settled” sounds like a relative term. Anyhow, in a recent conversation we determined that a place is finally becoming home we can do our usual pizza and pancake rituals. This involves making whole grain fruit pancakes on Saturday mornings and whole wheat veggie-mania pizzas on the weekend…and we’re getting close.

We’ve got the pancake thing down now, though Jared now sweetens with date syrup and Cat with honey since maple syrup is a decidedly North American product. As for pizzas, we haven’t quite rolled out our own dough yet, but we’ve just found some suitable flatbreads to use in the interim. I’m full right now after Jared just produced his first batch with fresh herbs - savory and mint. Wow, so good.
