Living Tiny Part II

MMMM...pancakes on Sunday morning.

This morning I tried something revolutionary. It started with noticing that the bacon was probably going to go bad if I didn't do something with it. That settled what we were going to have for breakfast. Since you gotta have eggs with the bacon, I fried those up AFTER the bacon. No bread in the house for toast, so why not pancakes? We hadn't had those in eons. +

When I make pancakes, I usually double the recipe making enough for an army. This results in everyone overeating, feeling sluggish and sick and, finally, storing the left-overs in the fridge till they have evolved into another life form because no one wants to even look at a pancake for another month.

Since four people doesn't even come close to a platoon,* let alone an entire army, I started to rethink my reason for making 12 cups of batter (aka double recipe). Then an exciting new revelation hit me...MAKE HALF A RECIPE. Wow, that seems like so little. Well, why not try it and see what happens?

The amazing discovery: there was ONLY one pancake left over, everyone was totally satisfied and my family and the refrigerator thank me for not over-doing it again.

I think I am on to something!

*platoon (in case you were wondering...I was!):
about 26 men consisting of 21 troops(privates), 3 corperals, 1 platoon sargent(nco) and 1 officer.

+Eon:
one billion years of geological time. (ok, so I exaggerated a little...)
