FReeper Canteen ~ Pancakes on Wednesday ~ Dec 15, 2004

Guest Chef Spotsybelle

[Spotsy]

For the freedom you enjoyed yesterday...
Thank the Veterans who served in
The United States Armed Forces.

Looking forward to tomorrow's freedom?
Support The United States Armed Forces Today!

Good Morning Troops, Veterans, Military Families, Allies and FRiends!
Welcome to a special edition of Pancakes. The theme is celebration!
We have so much to celebrate thanks to those who serve and sacrifice.

The chef would like to share a couple of seasonal recipes:
Gingerbread Pancakes and Eggnog Pancakes with Cranberry Sauce.

Today's Birthdays

J. Paul Getty, oil magnate (1892 - 1976)
Don Johnson, actor (1949)

Thought for the Day "If reality wants to get in touch with me, it knows where I am." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Handy Latin Phrases
when describing our troops . . . in Latin:
suaviter in modo, fortiter in re
"gently in manner, strongly in deed"

On this Day in History 1944 General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
future President of the United States,
received his fifth star
Happy Bill of Rights Day!

The Canteen's very own Beachn4fun conquered her mathematics obstacle course and is set to receive her diploma.

Don't forget the syrup -

~ Happy Hanukkah! ~

The Chef attempted a new recipe.
It fell on the floor,
and a new batch had to be whipped up - quickly.
Thus, the Chef begs your pardon if there are any errors,
especially of the spelling sort.

Happy Wednesday All!

Mmm...Pancakes! Thanks, Ms. Spotsy!

Who's first?

[HopeandGlory]

Good morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners . . . can't thank you enough guys . . . Hugs!!!

Prayers going up.

[HiJinx]

You've outdone yourself tonight, Ms. Hope.
This one is simply fantabulistic!

[Spotsy]

HiJinx is First! WooHoo!

[HiJinx]

Ok, I'm checking out your links and guess what I found? Is this why you put the two of them (Getty and Johnson) together?

Married twice to actress Melanie Griffith and currently married to Kelley Phleger of San Francisco. Ms. Phleger is related to the Gettys of Getty Oil.

What is that, maybe two degrees of separation?

[HopeandGlory]

Thank you Jinxy . . . I love finding and posting these different pledges.

[HiJinx]

I'm betting our lurkers appreciate it, too.

[Spotsy]

Prayers going up.
