More than just pancakes

We may very well be what we eat, but there's far more to this food thing than mere food.

Take these pancakes that my wife made. The kitchen buzzed as our pyjama-clad kids fetched the ingredients for her and helped set the table. The walls echoed with the sounds of a family welcoming the day. The dog wandered around our feet, hoping to catch a random treat from above. The house smelled and felt like home.

They were, of course, incredibly tasty. And the kitchen was most certainly a chaotic, delightful, non-photoworthy mess by the time we were all done.

But our kids ended up with an indelible memory that serves as another anchor to their childhood, another reminder of a world that revolves around each other, at a table where there will always be enough room, and a fresh plate of pancakes, for all of them.

And to think it all started with some batter in a glass bowl.
