man-cakes

tonight we (todd(my father in law), Cory, and Myself) were watching the food channel which had throw down with bobby flay on. they were making blueberry pancakes. and that sounded good.. we couldn't make our own pancakes considering the paces are remodeling their kitchen and do not have one at the moment. so we went to the valley hotel aka the v-ho for some pancakes at roughly 9 o'clock tonight. upon ordering our pancakes cory thought it necessary to ask the server, a young woman, how big the pancakes are. she told him that they were pretty normal size, but size varies by cook and the morning cooks made bigger ones. then cory asked if he could have big pancakes.. like man sized pancakes.. you see, he was pretty hungry. the server was a pretty sweet girl and said she would ask for some BIG ol' pancakes... and this is what came from the kitchen minutes later...
do notice that the pancake cory is eating is only about half the original size, there are two, the second one is behind his head..and roughly the size of his head. we dubbed these man-cakes, as you can see, no regular boy could consume this monstrous meal.

our coy little waitress came back to check on our progress and cory told her that these were definately man size pancakes (and it was obvious that he would not be finishing them anytime tonight) and in her innocent little voice she said 'are you going to man up?' she was so cute! ha, she made my night, deflated cory's ego, and made the dog happy all in one dish.
