“Tank”, the pancake turtle

By popular demand- I made a turtle. For some reason I thought I was going to be able to mold the shell into a lifelike three-dimensional shape, and then reality set it. Pancakes like to stay flat I guess. Undeterred, I decided to use brute force and just squished the pancake into the shape I [...]

Deadliest Catch: Now in pancake form.

Here’s one in honor of Capt. Phil and the new season of Deadliest Catch. Thanks for the idea Patti! Crab claws are a lot harder to make than I initially thought, and I couldn’t remember if king crabs have one big claw or what. Whatever, looks like a crab to me. And, he was delicious. [...]

Pachyderm Pancake Progress

Go ahead, play with your food
