100% Hencake


This is a hencake.

I make at least one hencake every time I fix pancakes for the family.

This is not necessarily a breakfast picture. It could be dinner. I do that sometimes. Breakfast for dinner.

Hencakes are made from a ladle... the batter is poured out, slowly... first the body, and then the tail and head. Sometimes I add either feet, or a nest for her to settle into.

Hencakes make me happy. When I am amused, I am happy.

Maria used to call a chicken's beak a "toot." I remember exactly the time when she drew a beak, and called it a toot.

The toot is the hardest part to add to a hencake. They usually come out a bit big. This one could be a hummingbird's toot.

And now, I am going to clean our kitchen, fold some laundry, and be uncharacteristically productive in areas domestic.

What are you doing?

Have you figured out Maria's Secret Share? It is kind of a vegetable but it didn't grow in the garden!

I love that. Mom used to make me kitties, (catcakes?), so I can relate. Considering the unladylike way I blow my nose, toot could work for me, as well... Even if it is for a beak... Maria's share is going to make me have to wake up some unused brain cells...

Hehehe... and here, again, artistic talent! I have a hard enough time making *round* ones, much less bringing them to life with shapes. I guess if I didn't make them from a box, and made them more often than once every few months...
(I also have to add here that my word verification image was "outine," which is very chicken-y.)
