Glad you're home safe Dave.
 
Dave - If you've got eggs, milk, sugar, and flour, you can make a German Pancake in your oven and it's almost as good as a bar of chocolate. Use confectioner's sugar (white powdered sugar) on top for the best, best, best pancake ever.

Makes 2 to 4 servings:

3 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 cup sifted bread flour or all-purpose flour*
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 teaspoons butter
Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
Powdered (confectioners') sugar

*Bread flour is a high-protein flour. The high protein helps the pancake rise. All-purpose flour may be substituted but the results won't be as spectacular.

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. NOTE: It is very important that you preheat your oven. Place oven rack on the middle rack of your oven. Place a large, heavy ovenproof frying pan or a cast iron skillet (I like to use my 10-inch cast-iron skillet), in the oven until hot and sizzling. While pan is heating, prepare your batter.

NOTE: Use a shallow pan, not more than 3 inches deep (pie pans, cast iron skillets, oven-proof fry pans, baking dishes, paella pans).

2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy; add milk, flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon; beat for 5 minutes more. The batter will be thin, but very smooth and creamy.
Using a pot holder, remove the hot skillet from the oven; add the butter; tilting the pan to melt the butter and coat the skillet.

3. Pour the prepared batter into the hot skillet, all at once, and immediately return the skillet to the oven.

4. Bake approximately 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown (bake until the pancake puffs up around the edges - it may puff irregularly in the center).

5. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Either bring the pancake to the table in its pan or slide it onto a serving plate. Once out of the oven, the pancake will begin to deflate.

6. To serve, cut into serving-size wedges and transfer to individual serving plates. Top with your favorite topping and serve immediately. For a classic German Pancake/Dutch Baby, sprinkle with freshly squeezed lemon juice, and dust the top with powdered sugar.

I'm having a German pancake for lunch today. It's almost that time!

hiya city!

Robin, did you get the photo I sent you last night? Sorry it's later than I planned to send it, but the weather got in they way. I don't have regular internet access at home & have to travel to town to post photos.

I'm going to attempt to set some eggs for hatching! Lost a few to the cold, but have plenty to start with.
 
RE: POOPS accommodations...
Lake Elsworth is just a few miles from Fletcher and has quite a few (and very inexpensive) camp sites for those of you with RVs.

Kassaundra there was a man from Henryetta, who spent years working on a hovercarft type thing.
It kinda looked like the Jetson mobile. When I worked at the newspaper there many years ago I went out on different occasions to take pictures and report on his progress.
It would lift off of the ground but he couldn''t get it to where it would sustain itself long enough.
I heard he died in the last year and I don't know if anyone is carrying on his project or not.

Yes, he had a building right on main street, I didn't know he had died but the vehicle has been gone for some time.
