Pancake and Hash Brown

After coming to US, came across lot of new food and I didnt have liking for many of them. Pancake was one food in that category for a very long time. One reason was because I have to literally soak the pancake in maple syrup and eat it. I used to think as how people can eat this stuff that too first thing in the morning. Until quite recently a friend gave this tip.

Ingredients:
-------------
Banana -1
Egg - 1
Pancake mix - Any kinda mix

Method:
--------
Blend Banana to a smooth paste. You can use hand blender too.
Stir the Banana paste with Pancake mix and egg.
Cook on a hot griddle, using 1/4 cup of batter for a pancake.
When the edges are brown, flip it.
Cook until the flip side is brown.

You can eat pancake without any maple syrup too. The banana taste makes the pancake yum yum. And the pancake goes well with hash brown ( I got this recipe from another friend).

Ingredients: (2 Servings)
------------
Potato -2
Olive Oil -1 Tbsp or Butter - 1Tbsp
Grated Onion - 2 Tbsp
Black Pepper and Salt - as needed

Method:
--------
Cut the potatoes to very small pieces. You can grate too. I like cut ones(it is easier :) )
Heat Oil or butter in a skillet.
Put the potatoes and cook for few minutes. Turn them now and then.
When the potatoes are brown on all edges, put the grated onion and cook for a while.
Put black pepper and salt.

Enjoy the tasty breakfast.

Circle

Adhav is getting bored and I have to engage Adhav in some activity. So, I take the writing pad within my reach and thought of teaching him to draw a circle. After some help, I wanna check how his circle looks like??!!
Adhav, now can you draw a circle for Amma?
Draws something like Jalebi and exclaims,
"Amma, this is amma circle"
"can you draw one more please?"
draws one more Jalebi and it keeps going on like this,
"Amma, this is Adhav circle"
"This is Appa circle"
"What is this Adhav?"
"This is carrot"
"This is Helicopter"
"This is letter R"
"This is letter A"
"This is garden"
"This is Box"
"Letter E,Ee(in Tamil)"
"Rabbit"
"Mushroom"
..
..
You can look at his circle in some angle and perceive it as the thing he claims. :) I laugh out loudly on his explanation and he not knowing the reason of my laugh, mimics to laugh and says
"Amma, Adhav laughing"
LOL
