Pancakes
I've learned to make pancakes all over again. It turns out that Alex's desire to eat pancakes is substantially increased if said pancakes are shaped like elephants, dinosaurs, snakes and kitties. That isn't surprising, I suppose, but somehow I'm surprised to admit that my interest in eating pancakes is increased if they're shaped like elephants, dinosaurs, snakes and kitties.

Of course, in my case I'm sure this is because such artwork leads to thinner pancakes of necessity, thus providing a different consistency and taste. And all that tromping around the table with pancakasaurus is just for his entertainment.

I wish I had taken pictures.

I used to use cookie cutters to make peanut butter sandwiches to William cause he'd be more likely to eat them.

I need to have at least one kid. It'll make so many of the things I do justifiable. "I make dinosaur shaped pancakes for my kid," doesn't smack of the same mental illness as when you make them for yourself.

I thought your whole goal in life was to have fifty of the little buggers. You'll need a whole dinosaur herd.

Yeah - I need to find some human females that are desperate or crazy enough to breed with me...

Take a cue from graphics algorithms by cutting the pancakes into triangles, then reassembling. My parents did this with toast when I was 6.

This explains quite a bit. ;-)

It's a cute idea. While it seems like fine work for pancakes, I could imagine using it with melty things that would be self-healing to some extent. That would neat. You could have, for instance, cohesive grilled cheese sandwiches in any shape.
