Since he passed I make a lot more pancakes. Never realized how comforting they are. Blueberry Buckwheat are my favorite, purple sweet. Banana Pecan ain't bad either. How bout a pancake emoticon?

Thanks for posting this Latin.I remember he said in the 2014 interview with Arsenio Hall that his specialty was omelets and that all his friends had high cholesterol.

Near the university building where I have most of my classes, there's a cafe that sells pancakes and omelettes. Needless to say I'm their frequent customer

At risk of being a pseudo-psychoanalyst, don't others notice how the 'making food for others / making and watching them eat, whilst not partaking oneself' is just a little bit controlling? It's one of the things that is constantly cited as a symptom of anorexia / related eating disorders. And, in turn, those disorders are considered to be more about control than anything else...
.
Love P, love his love of pancakes and egg-related foodstuffs - but it strikes me that his relationship with food was much the same as his relationships with people, and his relationship with music: P(rince) Control.

.

Man. It seems we can't have any discussion of Prince just be sweet and fun. Wow.

Remember how he said that at one point he was so poor, he would stand outside McDonald's and smell the food because he couldn't afford to buy it ? He was so wounded, poor thing. Miss him so much

I would only smell the McD food if I wanted to self-harm.

I know, Dibble!!! It's had to resist analyzing P. He was just so beautifully complex. Carry on!!

Anyone who cooks pancakes knows they are best served immediately. You can hold them in a low oven for a time while you make the eggs and try to serve it all while hot. It's more fun to be a "short order cook" and serve your guests right off the griddle so they can eat em hot. You have to stand at the stove anyway to make the batches so everyone's in the kitchen hanging out.

When I was a kid my Dad would make animal pancakes. We would call out an animal and he would free form custom create our special pancake.

Yup.

Isn't food in all cultures synonymous with nurturing and love and comfort?

One of my greatest regrets is that since childhood the texture of pancakes makes me sorta gag. I'm a French Toast or blintzes kinda gal. Yum
