We also don't normally have lettuce, so we're probably saving a small fortune making them ourselves as we skip those tow items. It's also probably a lot more affordable to make them yourself in the Abacos because of Abacos. You can get all the fixings relatively cheaply there, including the buns.The Cynical Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11047491682363507834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-36220009490491469702017-05-16T23:03:00.309-07:002017-05-16T23:03:00.309-07:00I hear there's some fierce winds over that way...I hear there's some fierce winds over that way.

Did I say already that it's high protein? That's important because it means you can add more syrup without guilt. In Scotland, they sell pancakes already made in little cellophane packages, but you probably already know that. Also, they have a bigger selection of cookies and cakes here than in any other part of the developed world.

Hurray for not eating out. Yep... we do remember running for weather a lot while in the Bahamas. That and the cold sea water were the two big negatives of the area. As long as it is winter, there will be cold fronts. And you move and move and move...
