My usual breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal and milk before running out the door. I don't mind cereal at all but every so often (when I have the time) I like to make something a bit more "special." Here are my general breakfast go-tos: soft boiled eggs and soldiers, fried egg and toast, scrambled eggs (hmm there seems to be a pattern here), soup noodles, and pikelets. Today was a pikelet kind of day.
Have you heard of pikelets before? They are basically the Australian/New Zealand equivalent to pancakes and they are hands down so much better than pancakes. Usually they are eaten with butter or jam and whipped cream, and I've also eaten them with maple syrup (I'm a Canadian, yo), but I usually just eat them plain (fork optional, heehee). Here's the recipe I use:
Pikelets
1 C AP flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 C sugar
3/4 milk
1 egg
1. In a bowl, sift* together AP flour, baking powder, and salt.

Putting my nose back into books
I've been really wanting to get back into reading for a while now and I recently watched a crazy amount of Gilmore Girls episodes when I had some days off this month (looooove Jess) which gave me the kick I needed to get started.
I recently finished this one and I must say it's full of good advice and other stuff. It's written by Christian psychologists so they definitely write with a Christian faith-based approach which may deter some readers but if anything it just appealed to me all that much more. I surprised myself for starting my reading spree with a non-fiction book, but life happened and I found this book during a time when I needed to read it.
Anyway, I have four other (fiction) books on tap so I am ready to go. In no particular order, here they are: Oliver Twist, Catch-22 (this will be second attempt to get through this one), and the last two books in the Flavia De Luce mysteries series (I'm too lazy to look up their titles). Oh, I'm also still reading through "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," but I've been so on and off with that (my own fault, the stories themselves are so on - love that Sir Artie Doyle) so I didn't include it in my list.
I'm excited for this. Alright books, do your thing.
