this week's pancake: chocolate chip raisin.

1 cup bisquick
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cocoa powder

i lacked chocolate chips, but i had an organic chocolate raisin bar from giant eagle, so i chopped that up and put it in.

this only makes like 5 pancakes, seeing as its just me and boog.

thursday i made this:


chicken and pesto pizza with pine nuts, tomatoes, and mozzarella. garlic and romano cheese in the crust. i didnt pre-bake the crust enough so the inside was a little soggy, but otherwise delicious.

boog had another bout of the linda blairs yesterday. he just would not keep anything down save for pedialyte. not to point any fingers, but who thinks its a good idea to feed a child grilled cheese if said child is throwing up? i do not understand.

he is loads better today, as he ate some applesauce, string cheese *and* a pancake with no adverse effects.

boog told me that his favorite show was dora. i was about to stab my eyes out in despair when the backyardigans came on and he exclaimed that *that* was his favorite show. crisis averted.

every single song that the backyardigans sing sounds like a funeral dirge. why is that?

gimpy deer is outside right now munching on birdseed. her leg will be fucked up for the rest of her days i am sure, but she seems to be putting more weight on her leg from the previous time i saw her.

this is my joy for today.
