You know this guy, right!?
He’s my Dad. He makes some amazing pancakes… the best pancakes, the best tacos, the best sweet potato pie, the best tofu potato bake. He’s a champion in the kitchen.
He’s also a champion Dad. Top notch. The kind of man that will talk to you for hours about the intricacies of Alfred Hitchcock movies… when you’re eight years old, make your stuffed animals talk and have fake bowel movements, and microwave your ice cream so it’s not too cold. He’s the best I know. Happy Father’s Day.
Want pancakes? Take the jump!

Dad’s “Clean Your Plate” Buttermilk Pancakes
Written by joythebaker on August 17, 2008 – 9:23 pm -
My Dad has the hands that feed. My Mom can make a bundt cake that might make you want to slap your Grandma, but Dad has the love for cooking. You can tell whether or not someone loves cooking by observing a few simple movements: the way they look at ingredients and the way they stir a pot. My Dad will look at an unrolled pie crust like he’s looking at a newborn baby. He stirs a pot of his famous spaghetti sauce like he’s melting down gold. Not one ounce of that affection for food was lost on me growing up in his kitchen.
But there’s a problem. As much as I adore sitting down to a plate full of food, I rarely if ever finish everything on my plate. I always leave at least a bite or two untouched. Why? I have a theory. It’s solid.
