Pancakes I want to try to make some time or another.

I love pancakes, so very dearly. Breakfast foods in general are the best. They're all nice and fatty, carb-y, sweet, ultra-filling, and go good with coffee.

If things go well I'll have my own kitchen next year and will have the ability to make pancakes as often as I so desire, which will be a lot.

Plain pancakes are amazing, but there are really a lot you can do with them. I've had the basics - blueberry, pecan, banana, chocolate chip, butterscotch and other common toppings, but since the base is such a blank canvas the possibilities are endless. These are a few I want to make some time in the future:

Maple Bacon Pancakes - Take the pancake batter and add chopped bacon, brown sugar, and maple syrup straight into the batter, with more syrup on top.
Maple and bacon go fantastically together, and the combination is showing up all over in modern cuisine. You can get it in a latte in San Francisco and on a donut in Portland, and I want to try it in pancake form.

Pineapple Ham Pancakes - Plain pancake batter with finely-chopped pineapples mixed in. Served with a deli slice of ham between each cake, and topped with either maple syrup or maybe some kind of sweet and sour sauce.
This is another classic bizarre taste combination, a personal favorite for pizza and toasted sandwiches. I want it to work on pancakes. I will make it work on pancakes.

Mango Habanero Pancakes - Maybe it's just pancakes with a mango habanero sauce, or maybe it's pancakes with habanero and mango right in the batter, but it'd be spicy and wonderful

S'More Pancakes - Load the batter with honey and cinnamon or whatever else they make graham crackers from, plus some tiny marshmallows. Place bits of chocolate bar in between cakes while they're still hot. Dammit I'm getting hungry and this sounds amazing right now.

Orange and Cream Pancakes - Mix orange zest in with the batter, top with tons of whipped cream. Straightforward.

This article is falling apart, I know. Really I just started thinking about the delicious unhealthy bacon possibilities and decided to run with it because I couldn't find a suitable picture of Pepper Ann's mom for the article I wanted to write tonight.

Still, while I have your attention, I'd like to share a bit about a small project I have in mind Last week a few webcomic creators were asked to make hourly drawings of what they were up to that day all day. Those can be found here.

This got me thinking, "hey, I think I'm important, I like to draw, and things happen to me sometimes during a day." So I'm going to give this a try. Let's say... Wednesday. I'm awake the longest that day and the most happens. I'm going to get a few index cards, a reliable pencil, and scribble out silly things for a day to show you guys. It'll be fun, for me at least. You'll just have to watch.
