We saw a lot of pancakes in 2010. 41 breakfasts, of which 38 were non-repeats, this year. 85 total breakfast events since we started two years ago.<\/p>\n

\"Breakfast\"<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the year was our invitation to the food blogger dinner at Taste of Safety Harbor.<\/p>\n

We overcame problems with Breakfast Spiders.<\/p>\n

\"Spiders\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes, we just couldn’t make it out of the house.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sometimes we just got lazy and had donuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And sometimes, Andy had to have breakfast by himself when he was out of town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were pops! Lots of pops!<\/p>\n

\"Pops\"<\/p>\n

A lot of times we just got sleepy after breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Naps\"<\/p>\n

Any world-class professional has to cope with occupational hazards. <\/p>\n

We jammed to good music.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And great music.<\/p>\n

This isn’t a pancake!<\/p>\n

We found that pepper is delicious on pancakes.<\/p>\n

Some were really fun.<\/p>\n

Most were really delicious.<\/p>\n

There was no shortage of HFCS in our diets.<\/p>\n

We never missed a chance for some strong, black coffee.<\/p>\n
