I started 4 different posts in the last two days or so but I decided to go for the theme of today:
Feeling hangry.
It's fair to say that I felt a bit uninspired this morning and lacking in energy.
I didn't know what to have for breakfast, was starting to get hangry and thinking of just going for coffee and no food ( not the wisest of decisions ).
And no, I don't smoke
Many smokers ( and Jim Jarmusch ) seem to think coffee and cigarettes are a good combo.
A cigarette, to start the day, is honestly the nastiest thing I can think of ( and I have smoked ).
beer and a cigarette, on the other hand...
check out this link for this hilarious GIF, in action, of Cosmo Kramer going for this combo
Back to this morning...
I looked around my kitchen, then summoned all my will power and asked myself:
What would Hypersensitivosaurus do?
As it's Sunday morning, the answer soon came to me:
He would bake oatmeal pancakes for breakfast
so that's what I did.
Ending up with 9 small(ish) pancakes.
I ended up having four of them for breakfast. A double one with some nutella in the middle and a double one with some rice 'honey', with a coffee on the side.
The remainder will be saved for later today and I'll probably eat them with veggies, some nuts and seeds and possibly some raisins, to compensate for this morning.
My stomach is a little but upset for reasons unknown ( don't want to blame these beautiful pc's for it ).
I guess it doesn't help that I don't have a wolf for a friend, out here ( , where you're at? ). A furry fellow that would come running, as soon as it smelled the baking, to devour most of the pancakes before I would have time to taste any.
For those of you have missed out on my Hypersensitivosaurus alterego/history ( 2019 until 2022 ), here's some links to enlighten you:

And if you're interested in the recipe of oatmeal banana pancakes, it's super simple:
1 banana
2 eggs
100 ml of (any kind of) milk
75gr of oatmeal
1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon
1/2 tablespoon of baking powder
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl ( use a hand mixer )
or mix them in a blender. Doing it by hand, whisking, will make the batter a bit rougher, especially if the oatmeal flakes are big.
Bake the pancakes on two sides, in a frying pan, in a bit of butter.
And for those who don't do dairy, just replace the eggs by more bananas or something else that can replace eggs and use any kind of milk that doesn't come from an animal.
The same goes for the butter, or just use olive oil or something alike.
Enjoy your Sunday and don't get hangry!
by the way, , to answer your recent question, this is what (Dutch) pancakes look like and how you bake them, although they are usually made with flour, eggs, milk and a pinch of salt.
