If this mom can make a pancake giraffe, anybody can

20.05.12

I don’t cook. It scares me. I wish I didn’t feel this way, but I think it’s a hazard of being married to a man who seriously likes to cook. The guy is always in the kitchen “deglazing” things and “reducing” things and finding uses for baffling ingredients like pomegranates and crème fraîche.

Me? I know how to boil water. I also can make coffee and chill beer. Beyond that basic skill set, though, I’m lost. As a consequence, our 3-year-old Tyler eats LOTS of raw fruits and vegetables. He also eats plenty of grainy bread (plain), cheese (not in a grilled-cheese sandwich or anything, just ... cheese), and oatmeal. (Oh yeah! I also can nuke oatmeal!) He eats plenty of actual meals, too – prepared by Dad.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was when an idea hatched to have me, of all people, attempt to make a magical pancake animal from the new cookbook “OMG Pancakes! 75 Cool Creations Your Kids Will Love to Eat.” Specifically, I was charged with making a 3D pancake giraffe.
