It Seems Virginia Salter it seems I’ve developed a fondness for well blackened flapjacks at least ever since I began writing during breakfast I’ve made quite a number of them patted with butter doused with ‘lite’ syrup partnered with flavorful links their pungent flavor rocks my taste buds they no longer end in the sink when I’ve tried to withstand the waiting abiding at stove top, of range, watching for pock marks in batter to come their timing’s quite awkwardly strange so ‘cajun’ they look and ‘cajun’ they taste to make them more palatable, friend if you’d like to try them I bake and not fry them an invitation to you I, extend. © January 12, 2001 |

My sister used to live in Baton Rouge, and boy I remember visiting her and eating like this. I enjoyed reading this. "Every man dies. Not every man truly lives." Braveheart Kathleen |

Ah, yes, if only one could get fresh hot griddle cakes with the speed of the microwave. Maybe then I'd not 'blacken' them. So, did your sister get to visiting with you and forget to watch them? Or had she developed a taste for such, as well?';-} |

Thank you all, but Denise, couldn't I really 'cook' with my writing? Oh, I hope so, some day! |

I'll take the cajun flapjacks anyday. This was a delight to read and don't ever doubt that you cook with your words because I have read some of yours that really turn up the level of intensity and heat up the pages. Keep on writing and we will keep on devouring. |

THANKS, Mark, you've made my day more delightful. In fact, it's similar to the feeling I'm receiving from the sun bursting through the dripping sky outside as we speak! |
