German Pancakes

Strawberry Syrup
This is my recipe.
Add a big handful of frozen strawberries and enough water in your blender to equal one cup. Blend it well, add 2 cups sugar and blend. Microwave for five minutes in a large glass measuring cup so it doesn't boil over. If you want thicker syrup boil it a couple minutes longer. Just watch it or it will boil over. (Do you think maybe this has happened to me before?)

German Pancakes
My sister Dani gave me this recipe.
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
6 eggs
pinch salt

Spray pan, add butter, melt in pre-heating oven. Mix eggs in blender, add flour and milk and salt. Pour batter into melted butter in pan. Sprinkle a little bit of baking powder on top. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes. Turn oven down to 345 bake another 10 minutes. Do not open oven door until it's finished cooking. Top with syrup, powdered sugar or fruit.

I actually did some work on the wood trim in the basement tonight. Now I only have one room left and that's the bathroom. I'll give myself at least another week to get that done and then I'll have to finish painting all the trim and the doors, WAAAA!

Oh, I almost forgot my organizing tip of the day! I've decided to change it's name to The Lazy Organizer because even lazy people like me can get organized.

The Lazy Organizer
Keep a notebook or a piece of paper next to your phone book. Every time you look up a phone number write it in the notebook. When you have a lot of them, type them up on the computer and print out a one page list of your frequently used numbers. One side is for business numbers and the other side will be for personal numbers. Leave room to jot down new numbers as you use them. Make several copies. One for your purse, wallet, car, kitchen, bedroom etc. Update your list every six months. Tomorrow I'll teach you how to organize your lists.
