A friend of mine has always been crazy about pancake day since she’s from Liberal, Kansas. Sort of the mecca for pancakes. She says “I’ve celebrated in Liberal, of course; Sterling, KS; all over the Twin Cities, MN; Nairobi, Kenya and Arusha, Tanzania. One of these days I hope to hit the motherload and celebrate in Olney, England!” So in honor of Amy, here are 6 pancake recipes.

This recipe from The Simple Art of Eating Well is a snap to throw together and very tasty to boot. If you’re not a fan of cardamom, you can substitute cinnamon.

The exotic ingredients and dishes were fun to read about, but seemed way beyond my capabilities (besides, half the time I had no idea what they were talking about!) So it was kind of funny when I re-subscribed years later, only to discover that what once seemed exotic was now fresh and something I would actually cook. Funny how that happens. But I digress.

Crystal Light Pure Tropical Blend (hi-res)

Anyone else find it ironic that they are celebrating Urban Food Production Day in Bangladesh, whereas in the United States it’s National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day?
