More reasons to be cheerful

The oven debacle means that I am determined to use up my sourdough starter in non-bread-related recipes. I dug out a sourdough pancake recipe and whipped up a batch. This is good stuff. Even straight from the fridge, the sourdough starter frothed up to provide fluffy, airy, tangy pancakes -- excellent laden with maple syrup. I ate six of the beasts to assuage both my hunger and my depression.



I have also put The Fratellis album on, which is also a good mood-lifter. I'm particularly pleased that listening to it has allowed me to identify the song played in the most recent Apple iTunes ad; it was bugging me -- another reason to hate Apple!
