Years ago, when my kids were little and easily impressed, we had a tradition of making pancakes on Sunday morning (better than church!). I'd sometimes go wild and make a mickey mouse pancake, or sometimes we'd have chocolate chip pancakes, but I never played around quite as much as Jim, who makes weird pancakes all the time. I like this one, for some reason.

Today is Shrove Tuesday in the UK, relating to some archaic mumbo-jumbo religion nonsense about Jesus but generally celebrated as a good excuse to gorge oneself on pancakes. For some reason, newspapers like to ignore these religious overtones and focus on adding their own mumbo-jumbo science…
SteelyKid and I have developed a weekend routine: I make pancakes (with her help in mixing and occasionally measuring ingredients) on Saturday morning before we head out (usually to SoccerTots, but the last couple of weeks to birthday parties). On Sunday, we make French toast, before going to the…
It is only on really stressful days when I refer to them as my unholy army of the night. The rest of the time, at least at meals, it is just "my army" and we really do go through a stunning amount of food.
For example, in late August, right around the time this photo was taken…
The image here of a pancake cooking isn't particularly interesting in its own right, other than as documentation of our weekend ritual at Chateau Steelypips. Saturday and sunday mornings, Kate sleeps in while the kids watch cartoons and I cook pancakes for them. SteelyKid absolutely drowns hers in…

@Idcornett:
Heathen. May the Equine Inquisition of the IPU (BBHHH) put you to the question.
Oh, wait. I'm in it.
No one expects the Equine Inquisition!
Hey! The Church of the Smiling Vagina will have you both up on charges of heresy!
Come to think of it...it would be interesting to make a pancake with the symbol of that faith in it...
@P.Z. Meyers: Bring it...
Waitaminute! Smiling? Are there teeth?
Thanks, but I'll stick with the IPU.

I got a couple of comments trapped in moderation at the German Jesus thread (actually the same one, one time with my Vox account and another with the crappy typepad one so you can release just one). Should I comment again? Last time my comments got held I never saw them.
It's octolicious! But an essential part of making pancakes is tossing them (throwing food is fun!), and that pancake looks like it might be too fragile for that.
It's blue. In Australia, octopuses that are blue are BAD. I wouldn't eat it. Besides it looks like it's smiling. I'd never eat something that seems to enjoy wanting to be eaten.
If bacon ever comes out in a form that's blue or smiling I'm stuffed.
@Bride of Shrek: Never read the Restraunt at the End of the Universe, then.
I'd have the exact same reaction Arthur Dent and Trilian did did.

A genius. A pancake a genius. I have found my calling in pancake art!
Jim is going to be sorry when the Old One finally rises and starts taking names.
Reminds me of the days when my youngest was around 10, invited a bunch of friends to stay overnight, and in the morning they made multi-colored penis-and-testicle-shaped pancakes. Roaring good time for them. I suppose they were hoping to shock me, but after four boys, very little shocks.
This is indisputably an apparition of His Noodly Goodness the FSM.

On the linked page, there's one that's supposed to be a chariot. When I first saw it I thought it was conjugating bacteria. Does that mean I've got a dirty mind?
I would have been shocked simply that they had made their own breakfast.
I do a pretty mean giraffe and my spiders (sometimes with web) are works of art.
