An Obaob Breakfast
Oat and Apple Silverdollar Pancakes with a Spiced Rum Maple Syrup and BACON
I woke up from yesterday’s Rock Band marathon (YAY I’m the resident drummer!) @ Jason’s place before everyone else, so I cooked breakfast! LOL, big surprise. I dug around the Obaob family pantry and found enough ingredients for apple & oatmeal pancakes (recipe here), eggs for a frittata that used yesterday’s leftover Maggiano’s pasta and some bacon, GLORIOUS BACON.
For the frittata, I just preheated the oven to 350 degrees, threw the pasta and eggs in a pre-heated pan (cast iron works well), let cook for 5 minutes so the outer edged could set and then finished it in the oven until golden brown in the end. Easy peasy and a great substantial breakfast!
I followed the pancake’s recipe and found a little bottle of spiced rum in their cupboard, so I threw that in with some fresh butter, orange zest and some delicious Vermont maple syrup to make a delicious condiment for the fluffly discs of goodness. One of the simplest “fancy” applications I’ve done in a while!
The bacon was cooked in a 450 degree oven on a silpat-lined (silpat? learn here) baking sheet until that deep color you can see above. No more messing with ugly pans or oil that gets in every nook and cranny of your kitchen!
I’m really happy with the pictures, since the colors pop so well with the place mats. If you’re curious, they’re made by Chilewich – I’ve been sweating their products for a while, but I’ll wait until I have a nicer place to put them in!
EEEEEEEEE YAY EATING WITH YOUR EYES.
Thanks Jason and Gary!

I don’t know whether to hate you, or to love you with a fervour
Again, you make that shit sound so easy 
Thanks for that pancake recipe though, ’cause I will most definitely try that! It looks easy and I have most of the ingredients at home already.
By the way, you still owe us that drink recipe from a few weeks ago… Was is pomegranate lemonade? Damn, what was it again? *ponder*

I made those pancakes tonight, though I didn’t have any sour cream. I actually think that’s for the better, since the cream would’ve made the pancakes quite heavy.
Thanks for the recipe Spec…It turned out 50-50: I like ‘em and the wife hates’em
