The O-Zone

We had two ripe bananas, and snowy weather today.  The solar panels aren’t producing any power today, even if they do get brushed off; a heavy cloud cover coming from the north is colliding with moisture from the west.

So, what does snowy weather have to do with bananas?  It is cold and we have both wood stoves going, the heat stove in the living room, and the cook stove in the kitchen.

So, I made banana pancakes, from my own recipe.

Banana Pancakes

1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 Tablespoon sugar

2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon and the same amount of nutmeg

Stir the dry ingredients together and set them aside.

In a fairly large bowl, peel and mash your two bananas.  Then add to them:

1-1/4 cup milk

1 beaten egg

3 Tablespoons oil

Stir the wet ingredients together, and then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir together until blended.  Don’t over beat.

Heat a griddle on your wood cook stove until hot, and cook large tablespoons full of pancake batter to make dollar size pancakes.  Serve with butter and maple syrup.

Parrots love banana pancakes; cats think they are useful for playing floor hockey.  Everybody is happy.
