Third Time *was* the Charm! :) -- YNAB 3!!!

December 14th, 2009 at 12:40 am

This morning I made my Oatmeal/Quiona/Chocolate pancakes. I hadn't made them in awhile, and since I'd made the recipe up myself in the first place ... I wasn't thinking too clearly. I put *all* the dry ingredients in the blender, and then added the rice milk and water. Ooops. Let's just say that it was pretty thick. I ended up pouring half of it out into a measuring cup, and then adding more liquid to the other part.

In the end, I didn't put a banana in - it still turned out pretty tasty, and I made enough for probably 4 more breakfasts in the future.

As I was making the pancakes this morning, I was wondering if they make pancake molds. Something you can put down on the pan/griddle and pour the batter into so that it holds a certain shape - make a uniform size. Mine turn out to be many shapes and sizes - especially after trying to flip them. Smile

As the title states, the third time happened to be the charm today. I found the dollar theater! (with a little extra help from my step dad)

I saw "Invention of Lying". It was *SO* good! Seriously, I loved this movie. I walked out of it just feeling happy. I probably wouldn't recommend it for kids under 15 because there are some scenes with pretty frank sexual talk (not explicit - just frank). This is one I might look into obtaining a copy for my limited collection.

When I got home I found out that Jesse (he used to be very active on the SA forums - jrmsg (something like that) ) has started releasing the beta version of YNAB 3. I might just get it for my birthday. Big Grin Big Grin

For those of you with iPhones or iTouch's ... he also is going to be releasing an app based on the YNAB principles soon. Big Grin
I am very much looking forward to that!!

    Re: Oatmeal/Quiona/Chocolate pancakes
    Does it work as a waffle? Then the waffle iron solves the containment/uniformity/flipping issue.

    Hmm... I haven't tried it in a waffle iron, but if I kept the consistency of the batter semi-thick, I think it probably would work. Good idea!

    There was an as-seen-on-TV product called "Perfect Pancakes" a couple years ago--might have been a whole separate appliance, though. That's the problem with these problem-solving inventions--they can really clutter up a small kitchen. Smile
    AS uses these metal ring things to make crumpets, but I don't know if they'd work for pancakes since crumpets don't need to be flipped.

    I scoop the batter with a 1/3 c. plastic measuring cup. It keeps it contained a little better than a ladle and makes it easier to get uniform sizes.

    Jesse used to be active! He faded right about when I showed up, which I thought was a shame....

    Ceejay,

    I actually did a bit of googling out of curiosity and found something similar to what you mentioned AS uses for crumpetts. You only use it for pouring the batter, then when ready to flip, you remove it. Obviously would need to be well oiled.

    Lisa,

    That's what I used too - most of my misshapes came from attempting to flip before it was done cooking. Smile
    BA,

    I think it was about that time that he started the forums for YNAB. It was starting to really take off. Now that there's a version compatiable for Mac's - I think it's going to explode!

    I'm still waiting for my email with the beta downlink. If it doesn't come today, it will tomorrow for sure. I can hardly wait to get to play with it!! Smile
