The first batch of pancakes my mother would cook us when I was a kid would often turn out not-so-great. They would taste perfectly fine, but aesthetically they weren't up to her standards. As she hit her pancake-making groove on the second, third and fourth batches she would become excited. "Beauties," mom would say, "look at these beauties!"
damn ! now i am hungry !

Tien, that was the second batch. I limited myself to six pancakes!
Carine, today was a good morning for pancakes.

Not real big on aesthetics here. If they're cooked properly and they don't have too many lumps, they don't stay on the plate long enough for them to be admired.
