Banana Pancakes

The weather over the past few days has been really punishing, hot, hot, hot and humid. 33C and 66% humidity. B-)Air-con helps. These poor machines, they have been working extremely hard to cool us down. I am not looking forward to seeing the electricity bill this month and I suspect this furious weather is going to continue for a while. And our electricity bill will escalate too!

Seven more weeks to go before the end of the term, which means that seven more weeks to go before we take off to New York. Wir gehen nach America. I am still working out the route we are taking, since we will be mostly driving. I practically have been eating, drinking, sleeping, breathing of the distances to go to, the hotels to choose from,their locations, the places to visit. Researching and more researching. So far, one hotel at Universal Park, Orlando has been booked, this will be a part of the last leg of our trip.

I hope to wrap the prep up in two weeks, it will be a miracle to get them done within a week. I am more inclined that it's going to take longer because I have things booked on my calendar over the next two weeks. With only one child going along, I anticipate everything to be less complicated. It should be simpler to make arrangement for three people compared to five, our usual number. One will be heading to South Africa, another will be dropped off at Brown University and will only join us to go Florida later.



It was too hot for hot cakes, but DH bought some bananas last night and indirectly implied, like in many cases, that he was going to have banana pancakes this morning, served with caramel sauce. (This never ever means that he is going to get up earlier and make the pancakes!!! Never!) I still have plenty of caramel sauce in the fridge and am more than happy if anyone makes use of them. And typical of me to grant his wish without even him asking. Unfortunately this is not exactly a two-way thing. :(

  1. Mmm. Love banana pancakes. Maybe hubby needs a little kitchen training in time for mother's day.

    Sounds like you've got quite the trip planned!

  2. Training for him? Doubt if he is even keen... He might have booked a table for five or just completely forgets. Anyway, he is flying out this morning until the end of the week. That's okay!

    Trip: yeah, things start to fall into their places....
