Sticky is MIA. spankee is watching oprah's oscar special. drinking sparkling wine. bulldog is out of town. just finished fantastic dinner of asparagus & spinach pancakes with smoked salmon (spanky's favourite) and ceasar salad. wine is making me prematurly drunky/sleepy . . . at 8:45 pm. wish i had a pbn to crak in to. or could hit the dominion and zaphods with sticky, in drop-dead deadly dresses.

bored, but only in a drunk, glamourous, writer way.

this would have been a favourite in the sticky/spanky pad had i found the recipe all those moons ago. Accompanied by 50, clearly.

Asparagus-Spinach Pancakes

1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, defrosted and squeezed
1/4 pound asparagus, trimmed, peeled, and chopped
3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup olive oil

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs. Stir in the sour cream, spinach, asparagus, Parmesan, and salt. Add the flour and mix until well combined.
In a large skillet, over medium heat, heat 1/3 of the oil. Make 4 pancakes (about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake) and cook until golden brown and slightly puffed, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Working in batches, make a total of 12 pancakes, adding oil as necessary.
