Blogger Expands Culinary Horizons, Improves Dad Score

So I successfully defended my doctoral dissertation proposal yesterday. Big deal. Here's the biggest success of my day:
She asked for pancakes. I had never made pancakes. (How does a guy go 39 years without making one of the easiest, most rewarding foods on the planet?) I remembered my Dad making pancakes. He made us bunnies, whales, all sorts of shapes. I broke out the cookbook, found the ingredients, and went to work. She told me I wasn't whisking properly, but a few minutes later, she joyfully received her bear pancake. (I was aiming for bunny. Ssshhhh!)

Sweet! Now watch out for that fork, honey bear.

And don't forget to eat those carrots.
