The annual Southeast Central Ohio Invitational Pancake Tournament was held on Friday, December 26, 2008 under ominous signs. The sighting of a raven bode ill for the prior two-time champion, Bunkerman. A broken outdoor thermometer also portended the breaking of a streak.
Bunkerman was defending his title on the challenger's home field, aka kitchen. The local supermarket were more than adequate for his improvisational skills to let him prepare a fine entry, viz., chocolate almond pancakes made with whipping cream, sour cream, and an admixture of graham cracker crumbs with a base of Hungry Jack pancake mix. The pancakes, fried perfectly in olive oil and topped with butter and pure maple syrup had a fine delicate favor which enticed the judges to sing paeans of praise.
Then Big Al stepped up to the stove. [FYI, Big Al is a non-posting reader.] His entry evinced weeks of preparation and experimentation. The batter used the identical Hungry Jack base, adding the secret ingredient - cinnamon chips - and chopped apple bits. His cooking skill was superb. The pancakes were perfectly round and browned. But then he used his finely honed culinary skills to create a perfect presentation with a topping of apple slices, confectioners sugar and caramel drips. The final effect was pleasing to the eyes, reminiscent of fine French cuisine. The flavor was superb and the texture and mouth feel were excellent.
The discussion among the judges was cautious. Bunkerman's pancakes were deemed champion quality by all. But those of Big Al were awarded the first place by a unanimous decision, including the vote of the gracious Bunkerman. Big Al accepted the prestigious title of SEC-Ohio Pancake Champion with humility, looking at his shoe laces as he spoke a few words of thanks to the judges.
Bunkerman is planning his comeback ...

and schiano's stupid play calling...........plus i shud have realized.....teams from the big12 north don't respect the big10.......so mizzou didn't get serious til the 4th quarter
That Russian prof was either beimng very clever or very stupid.
Perhaps he was really describing his opinion of the breakup of Russia (whihc I think is likely eventually), in the guise of a story about the US.
Of course an artcile about Russia would not be permitted to be published.
uh guys, never bet on the Big Ten (whatever it's called now) in bowl games. They almost always choke, after partying in the warmer climates.
"Big Al"...dont be such a mouse...make a contribution to the fight.....
is 'Big Al' a common man ???
Bman do people in your home-town understand 'hogs at the trough' and 'watering hole' and ' bring back the uptick rule' etc....? or they only interested in making pancakes ??

Of course my metaphors are understood there. Sheesh ... it's a rural area, animal and barnyard metaphors are quite common there.
What a city slicker ...
;)

are there any indo-pak restaurants in your hometown Bman ?? are there any foreign or exotic restaurants ?? taco bell doesn't count.........nor does louie's pizza
My hometown has a Mexican restaurant and a Chinese place; both have pretty good food.
There is a winery/restaurant nearby that's good, too.
No Indo-Pak.
No French cuisine.
Not even Italian - nearest good one is about 40 miles away.
Pizza is the town favorite, by numbers.
Uh ... I'll post the list when I'm ready.
It's a very inclusive list - I won't buy everything on it. Will wait for good entries.
haha, very funny frosty.
I never heard of "paratha"
From the description and photo in Wiki, "paratha" looks very good.
btw, the new Angus 1/3 lb burgers iat McD are really good. The swiss+mushroom burger is highly recommended.
I liked the latte, too, with no sweetener.
;)
and that latte there was easy to order - no secret handshake required. No Spanish/Italian either.

The rectangular consoldiation pattern (800 to 1000) top at 1000 seems more meaningfull.
