Photo competition with our pancakes

Well, there's been a two-day hiatus. This will probably happen again in future... even though I'll try hard to set aside at least 20 mins to post one good-quality photo each day.

Last Friday, I made my wife a hot breakfast as promised. She liked it very much I think. I'm usually very lazy in the mornings, and almost exclusively feed on the most repetitive thing every day: oats, cereals, spoon-sliced bananas, soaked with lite soy milk. It's been like that for as long as I can remember (well, about 5 years, since I left the luxury of catered breakfasts at Ursies).

 These pancakes were made with Pancake Parlour batter, which I can get from supermarkets. It brings back old memories of living at Ursies, because my international student friends (including my wife) often went there to celebrate birthdays. I fondly remember the atmosphere, even if I often felt too poor to buy anything significant. The pancakes were always lovely. ;)

contestant #1: me!

contestant #2: wifey!

 To make it extra special, I panfried some halloumi cheese, an egg, and a piece of bacon. We recently acquired a Canadian maple syrup, which is perfect to go with the pancakes.

It was funny that both my wife and I, without planning it in advance, began arranging our food neatly on our plates before we started eating it. Starting this blog has made us quite eager to get nice photos, as you can see! So we joked that this was a photo competition... mine is on the left, and my wife's is on the right. She rightfully complains that she was disadvantaged due to the shape of her plate and the fact that she had cut her pancake in half (whereas mine is folded). Haha!

Usually my wife beats me on presentation. But maybe not this time ;)
