Hi Dave,
RH> AFAIK, the Legion one is the only pancake breakfast in town. It's the
RH> post's major fund raiser so they really took a hit when COVID shut
RH> everything down but they've rebounded well.
DD> Our other major fund raiser food event is the chilli supper. I don't
DD> know how many thousands of gallons of red chilli my friend Les cooked
DD> for the chilli suppers over the years. But with his passing I suspect
DD> that unless someone else steps up that will dwindle.
Most likely will, unfortunatly. But, for as long as it lasts, those who
knew him will keep his memory alive.
RH> Much as I like chocolate, I don't like chocolate chip pancakes. Could
RH> be, because I top the pancakes with maple syrup, the maple and
RH> chocolate flavors aren't, in my mind, entirely compatable. I've pretty
RH> well given up on pancakes and waffles but do get my maple in other
RH> ways, like drizzled over vanilla ice cream.
DD> I'm not a fan of chocolate chimp pancakes either. But many are or they
DD> wouldn't be on offer in so many places. The maple syrup woulds be a no
DD> go for me. But, that's just me and my dislike of maple anything except
DD> furniture. Bv)=
DD> My favourite sweet toppings for pancakes/waffles are jams, jellies,
DD> fresh fruit, preserves or honey.
i like those as well, but having been raised on nothing but real maple
syrup, it still ranks #1 for a topping in my book.
DD> Here's the recipe that Les used for the chilli suppers. I knopw I've
DD> posted it before but I'm feeling nostalgic.
You will have those feelings for quite a while. Make up a batch of his
chili and take it to a homeless shelter or soup kitchen; that'll help
them out and you'll feel better for it.
