Pancakes

Today I made supper for my host family.  They had wanted to try pancakes, so I gladly complied.  I can’t really claim that it takes great culinary aptitude to make pancakes, but a little bit of work into converting the recipe into metric measurements and I did learn the names of all of the ingredients in French.  Also, it was mildly more difficult than usual as they do not have pancake mix over here.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining that this made it difficult; all I was doing was mixing various powders, milk, eggs, etc.  They did turn out good and were well received by my host family.  We also used my father’s homemade maple syrup, which I had brought over with me as a gift and they really that.  Maple syrup is a uniquely North American delicacy.  My host brother had acquired a taste for it when he was on exchange in Canada.  So, dinner was indeed successful.  Other than that, I mostly worked on homework today.
