Gramps continues his visit from Idaho for the Thanksgiving Holidays. As far as the critters are concerned he ought to stay permanently. 
I made pancakes this morning. I do a pretty good job. These are healthy for you. They have oatmeal, egg beaters, skim milk, brown sugar. My Mother gave me the secret to pancakes way back when I was a young boy. She always told me not to turn them until 97 bubbles came up. I gave away the family pancake secret. Darn!
Also from an engineering perspective. I like to use 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. The face centered cubic pattern I use on placing the individual cakes results in the maximum area of pancake to area of grill ratio for the 1/4 cup batter portion. 
Later on we went to the Gilcrease Museum. Lots of photographs by Ansel Adams and of course western art. Its a family favorite. Take a look at the sculpture of the Native American with the bow behind SuperPizzaBoy. That image is going on our new license plates.

SPB has a cute grin on his face in that picture!
Thanks for the secret to great pancakes. I never realized it was such a science!
Do you stand there and count?!
Thanks for visiting my blog, TravelingChemist! As one verteran of the energy “bidness” to another, I hope we can survive these troubled financial times for our industry! A 65% drop in the price of oil sure has a way of dampening our future employment outlook!
Thanks for sharing your ‘secret’ recipe for pancakes. It’s been a LONG time since I’ve heard the expression “face centered cubic pattern”!!

Thanks Traveling Chemist. The way the energy business is going I might have to start using my pancake making skills for a living.
