Two. Full. Days.  Granted, I work from this very seat I&#8217;m sitting in now and much of it is done before I shower or change out of my pajamas.  With Kola Nut having his last day of preschool Tuesday, the list of possible reasons for showering before 2:00 pm was just slashed in half.  Still, I work.  What do you do when Hump Day&#8217;s &#8220;hump&#8221; seems more like a mountain than bump?  Talk about pancakes.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">Pancakes are an ultimate comfort food.  A pile of pancakes, a pad of butter, a sloppy mess of maple syrup \u2013 it doesn&#8217;t get much better than that.  For this, you can use a homemade pancake batter or just grab your favorite variety off the shelf at the supermarket.  However, I&#8217;m not a fan of the &#8220;just add water&#8221; pancake mixes.  I like to add milk and crack eggs.  We have our own recipe, but this happens to be a box of Hungry Jack.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><br clear=\"all\">It&#8217;s the addition of crushed pecans, whole blueberries, brown sugar and cinnamon that make these pancakes more than your classic buttermilk.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pancakecollage.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pancakecollage.jpg\" alt=\"pancakecollage\" title=\"pancakecollage\" width=\"535\" height=\"535\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pancakecollage.jpg 535w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pancakecollage-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/pancakecollage-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">We spray our grill down only for the first round to prep it.
