With blueberry compote to boot...

I got up this morning a little sleepier than I wanted to. It's one those weekends where no matter how well rested, I still feel sleepy; however, this morning may have been due to some cheer over the Saturday night hockey game with some friends. We made homemade donairs complete with the "special" sauce for dinner last night. This is a recipe from Car's company's employee cookbook compilation. It truly tastes like a donair from Duke's in Edmonton. Anyhow, an afternoon matinee sure woke me up: Casino Royale. All I have to say is hot. Go see it. In the theatre. Ignore the small lull about 3/4 of the way through and just focus (ladies) on what a good James Bond Daniel Craig is...

But I digress: Blender Pancakes. What an easy recipe to make and very easy to clean-up since you just dirty your griddle, blender, and measuring cups. I used real buttermilk as per Car's suggestion and I think that is a good way to go--the resulting batter is thick but silky. Even though the final product is light and fluffy, they are still very filling. They cook super quick, too! Since I realized we were out of Summerland Sweets syrup, I went to epicurious.com and found a lovely little recipe for Blueberry Compote using frozen blueberries and that was definitely a nice touch. I want to add this to my breakfast repetoire and make these babies more often for sure.
