This pancake recipe—courtesy of Cook’s Illustrated—comes with a few surprise guests: one and a half cups of cottage cheese, four eggs, and whole wheat flour. Light, fluffy, and protein-packed! As for carbs? Let’s just pretend they didn’t RSVP. We went classic with butter and syrup, but feel free to go wild – berries, whipped cream, Greek yogurt, whatever your sweet tooth demands. No judgment here.
And yes, I avoided the news again. Just Mark and I, pancakes and blissful ignorance.

It's always nice to hear from him. It shows how much he cares.

To all those who were asking about @myafundsarlow :

I shared with Mat that friends from the Gutter were asking about him. He said that he misses everyone.
His COPD is exhausting and makes it difficult to sit in front of a computer for very long. Treatments, like Trelogy, have side effects which aren’t very pleasant. Unlike the commercials, he doesn’t suddenly feel a burst of energy and like taking a brisk walk.
He has an awesome sense of humor and I take advantage of that, not missing an opportunity to make us both laugh, which is most of the time. 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
He’ll be popping into the Gutter every now and then.
FYI: The “little boy” sitting on the sofa in the picture is about 12 years old and his feet still don’t touch the floor.
Mat and I are working on a project about all the unusual mischevious, hilarious and dangerous adventures he had growing up. They’re all stories worth retelling !
