Pancake Wednesday

Last Wednesday was less joyful…

I still loved Malawi oh-so-much….
I just had a painful realization about how much I have left to learn about life here… How ignorant and thoughtless and unaware I still am.

In any case, previous to this realization (and partly the cause of it…) we got to make symmetrical pancakes for one of my students math classes! Yum!

We had an absolute blast, and I couldn’t help giggling as we sat on the kondi munching away at warm pancakes with melty chocolate squashed in!

Here is a gorrrrgeous picture one of the girls took… doesn’t it look like it should be an advert?

(As a side note, no, we cannot get maple syrup in Malawi. That is honey…. Though I have heard that some industrious Canadian ex-pats have been known to boil down maple extract to make their own maple syrup! :P)

Of course this escapade also made me think of the JAHsome pancakes that used to be made on the 5^th floor in London… Miss you my Wee Tmac! <3
