PROBLEM: Recently, my life partner was complaining about our same ole breakfast every morning.  That is when I discovered that he "loves" pancakes. I was aware that he liked waffles. (We've only been together almost five years!)  I, on the other hand, have never cared for pancakes.  I loved my Gram's waffles, but nothing she did could tempt me to eat pancakes, no amount of butter or slathering with strawberry jam could make a difference. I just didn't care for PANCAKES!  She did insist on teaching me how to make and cook them, because my Daddy enjoyed pancakes, so I learned. I was in Central Market on Saturday when I ran into a co-worker and her husband.  They took me by the hand from the Baking Products isle to the Jams, Jelly, Syrup, Honey isle.  On the top shelf was "the very best pancake mix":  Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Pancake and Waffle Mix. I saw the price and took a deep breath, it was twice the price of the mix I had just been contemplating purchasing. On their recommendation, I tossed it in the cart along with some "real" organic, light amber, maple syrup. This morning, I fixed three small (3 inch diameter) pancakes for my man and one for myself just to taste. I needed to know! Well, I don't believe I have ever had real maple syrup before in my life, just that sugar processed krapola sold as pancake syrup. I have NEVER liked that stuff! That pancake with a tiny dribble of real maple syrup was DELICIOUS! It was the pancake mix that made the difference. Now I am reading reviews to purchase a waffle maker.  After tasting that light, fluffy pancake, I can hardly wait to have some waffles made from this mix.  These reviews are making my mouth water with anticipation! I will never buy any thing else.

PROBLEM: Very crisp and tough, does not melt, but  breaks down into pretty large particles in your mouth.  I enjoy it as a cereal, but neither of my 11 mo old twins really enjoy the tough texture.  They like the melt in your mouth and less sugary taste of the happy baby <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NXHY8Y">HAPPYBABY Organic Puffs, Banana Puffs, 2.1-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NXM3I0">HAPPYBABY Organic Puffs, Greens Puffs, 2.1-Ounce Packages (Pack of 6)</a> which is almost salty. They also love saltine or ritz crackers Annies brand and those saltines are just as hard to chew and great for teething on.

PROBLEM: My hair dresser's salon bought a Keurig Machine, so I have been able to sample a variety of K-Cups. K-cups are about 10 times more expensive than a regularly brewed cup of coffee so I have never considered buying one for myself, but having a Keurig Machine at a hair salon makes sense! People have a variety of tastes and K-Cups can provide a nice variety and freshly made one at that.  The salon has a nice variety of K-cups: Folders, Wolfgang Puck, Timothy's, and Green Mountain (that owns Keurig).  Everyone's taste vary, but here is my assessment of the ones that I have tried so far. Wolfgang Puck was my second favorite. So far, I like Folgers the best.  FOLGERS GOURMET SELECTIONS LIVELY COLOMBIAN Price per cup: 69 cents (package of 36 for $25) Earthy flavor, fruity and nutty flavors come through.  WOLFGANG PUCK CHEFS RESERVE COLOMBIAN DARK ROAST Price per cup: 69 cents (package of 48 for $32.98) A dark roast with caramel and earthy notes, slight burnt and papery flavors.  TIMOTHY'S DECAFFEINATED COLOMBIAN MEDIUM Price per cup: 60 cents (package of 50 for $30) A bit on the weak side, kind of papery, and less astringent than the others.  Ali Julia review
