Green Pancakes

Well today started off normally enough. On Wednesday's I can work from home, so I usually try to make something a little more substantial for breakfast instead of instant oatmeal. Christine got up and took the dogs out and I proceeded to make some buckwheat pancakes. Everything went smoothly until I went to add the vanilla. In my morning haze I had not turned on the kitchen light and was operating by snow muted morning light entering through a hundred-year-old window.

Turns out the vanilla is in a small brown bottle that looks almost identical to a bottle of green food coloring we had. The result: shockingly 'Kermit' green pancakes. It was actually pretty funny. I might try some other colors on future Wednesday mornings.
