"You know how you can make me really happy?" Bill asked
Bill finally came home from Hong Kong around 9:30pm. After he ate, he went on the computer to catch up on what he had missed in the last 4 days. Then came the question in the title. Confused, I turned to look at him, and all I saw was the Martha Stewart's buttermilk pancake recipe Julie had posted on her blog. Next to it was Bill's big smile.
Now we have to figure out where we can buy buttermilk in Taipei. People have posted substitutes, but Bill insisted that they wouldn't work in buttermilk pancakes. Apparently you can make your own buttermilk too. However, when they say you can add vinegar to whole milk, do they mean the vinegar we find in Asia or other kinds of vinegar?

That would be apple cider vinegar. But you can do the same thing with lemon juice. I don't see any reason why it would not work in the pancakes. I make the Martha recipe too. My mom made them without any measurements, and they always turned out great. I always made it like my mom's, but sometimes they were not as good. I found Martha's recipe is fail safe, and tastes just like my mom's!
ReplyDeleteAlso, sorry it took me so long to post a comment about your marriage.
I am happy for both of you and I wish you all my best wishes. I wish I could be with you to share in your wonderful moment, but alas, there is no way I can sit on a plane that long. We will have a party when you come "home"!
Much love,
Donna (Bill's mom)
This is so sweet! I was going to suggest the lemon juice too. I'd be afraid the vinegar would leave an aftertaste. I haven't made these pancakes with the lemon juice substitution, so I hope you can find some buttermilk!
ReplyDeleteI just read your party idea too and I'm so disappointed we can't all come out. Of course, that would totally take away from the "intimate feel"! I think a party at the new apartment sounds like a beautiful idea. And I echo mom, it will be wonderful to welcome you guys "home" with a big celebration!
Love,
lil' sis'
I'd be willing to bet that that's the same smile that Joey get's when he's hoping for something in particular too =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the wedding...a dinner party sounds perfect!
