I don't mind the pancake mix at all. (The one thing I REALLY missed was bread/pancakes, so the alternative is none.) Lots of butter and sugar free jam and jelly. I don't like maple syrup, so haven't tried it.
I'm off to a quick visit with the daughter and grandkids (and that guy she married). ;)
Daughter switched departments (ER to surgery), so she's working dayshift now. With all of the activities the kids have in the evening (swimming, dance, gynastics, choir, etc.), it's even more difficult than ever to coordinate visits now. (Plus, now I'll have winter weather to contend with! I do NOT do well on slippery surfaces!)
BTW, doesn't sound good for the possible project stuff I took a look-see at last night. I told the editor that my first impression was that it'd be quicker to start over and write everything from scratch than to try to fix what was already there. She said that was her impression, too, but she'd hoped I'd see things differently! LOL ... So, she's going to discuss it with the other publishing types powers that be and they'll decide whether or not they're going to pay to salvage the book or just write it off as a loss. (I need money, but it'd defeat the purpose to do four weeks-worth of work for one week's pay!)
