Tried a simple experiment today. I was mixing up some pancake batter (from some sort of commercial buttermilk pancake mix... Aunt Jemima, I think) and I was stirring up the eggs, milk, and powder and everything was good. Then I went to add the 1/4 cup of oil. And I found out that I had run out of standard vegetable oil.

But I still had a bunch of homemade stir-fry oil. Really yummy Oriental-tasting stuff. Lots of garlic, onion, and pepper tastes in the oil. I used that instead just to see what it would taste like.

Well, it wasn't that bad. It was definitely different. Weird garlic pancakes. I spent the rest of the day burping up the garlic taste. Thank God I didn't try to put any maple syrup on those puppies.

I then spent the entire day playing Half-Life: Opposing Force like the mindless drone that I am.
