Syrup in the Butter

So this is ages and ages old. But it's a lot lighter than the other blog I'm posting. Enjoy :)

Sabbaths here in Bere are quite fun. We've made a tradition of making Sabbath meals together after church. One Sabbath we decided to make pancakes because we found this Mennonite "Cook with Less" cookbook that had a recipe for pancakes and syrup.

We made some absolutely amazing pancakes and had so much fun doing it over a charcoal stove. We put almond slivers, hot cocoa mix, and cinnamon, in varying combinations, in the pancakes as we cooked them.

As we were eating the pancakes, we would put margarine on them and then the syrup. Once, Jacob accidentally dripped a little bit of syrup in the margarine container, and I said, "Aww..." to which he replied, "Eh, it's just a little syrup in the butter."

I'm not sure why, but we found it to be rather funny, and we decided it would be our new phrase. So now, whenever something goes wrong, we just shrug it off, and say, "It's just a little syrup in the butter."

PS Jacob, we miss you lots :)
