Pancakes on Wednesdays |
|
|
Welcome to Pancakes on Wednesdays. Wednesday October 22, 2003 |
|
Here is an amalgamation of trivial facts and seemingly useless data. Do not forget to hit the hyperlinks. We have links, lots of them.
|
WELKIN |
The sky; heaven; the firmament We dont use this much nowadaysdictionaries usually tag it as archaic or literaryexcept in the set phrase make the welkin ring, meaning to make a very loud sound. What supposedly rings in this situation is the vault of heaven, the bowl of the sky. In older cosmology this was thought to be one of a set of real crystal spheres that enclosed the Earth, to which the planets and stars were attached, so it would have been capable of ringing like a bell if you made enough noise. The word comes from the Old English wolcen, a cloud, related to the Dutch wolk and German Wolke. Very early on, for example in the epic poem Beowulf of about the eighth century AD, the phrase under wolcen meant under the sky or under heaven (the bard used the plural, wolcnum, but its the same word). Ever since, it has had a strong literary or poetic connection. It appears often in Shakespeare and also in Chaucers Canterbury Tales: This day in mirth and revel to dispend, / Till on the welkin shone the starres bright. In 1739, a book with the title Hymns and Sacred Poems introduced one for Christmas written by Charles Wesley that began: Hark! how all the welkin rings, / Glory to the King of kings. If that seems a little familiar, it is because 15 years later it reappeared as Hark! the herald-angels sing / Glory to the new born king. |

Khanom Buang Crispy Pancakes with Fillings. Thai crispy pancakes which look very much like Mexican tacos. Coconut cream is topped on the small pancakes before fillings are placed on it. The two different fillings from which one can choose are the sweet filling: containing shredded coconut and golden threads (egg yolk strips) and the salty filling: shredded coconut and chopped spring onions.

Wednesdays have always seemed like pancake days to me. Whether they were cooked at home on my mom's old Sunbeam electric griddle or at the local pancake house, it just seems to be the right kind of food for a Wednesday. A tall steaming stack of buttermilk cakes with heated syrup dripping down the sides make a sweet ending to a busy week. |

Today's FEEBLE attempt at humor:
A young man was visiting his brother and sister-in-law and was surprised to find his young nephew, Timmy, helping them bake the cupcakes. After they were done, his sister-in-law allowed
Timmy to put the icing on. When he had finished, he brought them to the table.
"The cupcakes look delicious, Tim." his uncle said. He took a bite while looking at the other cupcakes.
"Timmy these are so good."
As he finished one and took another he again complimented his little nephew.
"The cupcakes look beautiful, Tim," his uncle said. "How did you get them iced so evenly?"
And he took a large bite while waiting for the answer. His nephew replied, "I licked them."
