Aug 25th, 2007 by admin
People watch rain in Phoenix. It’s strange and when you move here, you see people watching the rain with an intensity. Nobody talks. They just watch.
I thought that was odd. I like a good storm and I have indeed watched te rain, but it’s different here.
I’ve been here almost three years. I now watch the rain with that same odd intensity. It’s such a treat. The feel of humidity in the air, the clouds. All weather elements we don’t get to experience very often.
Thunderstorms rolled into the Phoenix area around 4:30AM. Yay!
My usual weekend wake up ritual includes going to the coffee house with computer in hand for a muffin and great cup of coffee. Today with the rain- I wanted to stay home.
That doesn’t mean that I didn’t still want my coffee and breakfast. I found this recipe from Mr.Breakfast.
Banana Pancakes

Transfer to a baking sheet. Continue until all the batter has been used.
