GASTRONORMOUS

Pancakes II: Pancakes for your Face is equal parts catchy music, fun stop-motion animation, and slightly obtuse humor; sort of like Peter Garbriel’s “Big Time” video crossed with a Mentos commercial. And that can’t help but be sort of awesome.

(The video shows how to make what the British call pancakes, but the Americans and French call crêpes–finally, something we agree on!)

I love this serving bowl with its own trivet–it is so modern, clean, and beautiful. Though for the kitchen-storage challenged, this bulky two-fer might not be the best buy. But I can just picture this in the center of my table, with a fluffy soufflé billowing out of it! [$42]
