Lemon Pancakes in the Middle East!
This is for all the Oastlers out there who will fully appreciate
the beauty of this statement!
Today I made lemon pancakes in the Middle East!
Despite the challenge of wondering if I found the right ingredients and the tricky nature of my gas oven the lemon pancakes turned out perfectly! There is something so comforting about making, eating and laughing over lemon pancakes. I had a glass of orange juice and cup of tea and after all my pancake guests left and I remembered many Oastler family functions where lemon pancakes celebrated a holiday or event. Tonight the lemon pancakes simply celebrated the fact that I have been living, teaching and traveling in the Middle East for a little less than two and half months. Which the longer I live here the more I fully appreciate how that is an achievement to be celebrate!
