Hair cuts and Pancakes

Ellie's first hair cut. We got rid of the mullet.

One of our favorite places to eat in Milwaukee is the Original Pancake House. I found their delicious "Dutch Baby" recipe online and was attempting German pancakes. I had already packed all my pans so I tried to make it in this cast iron skillet. I think things got a little out of control. David burned his fingers when pulling it out of the oven. Oops Dr. Myers!

Melt butter in oven proof skillet, swirl pan to coat bottom evenly with butter. Pour batter into pan. Bake in oven for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown with dark brown around the edges.

Remove the pancake from the oven and rest for about a minute. Loosen pancake from edges of pan with a spatula. Slide pancake onto a plate.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with lemon wedges, butter and syrup.

Note: You can substitute 2/3 cup half and half for the 1/3 cup heavy cream and 1/3 cup whole milk, but I found that using the cream and milk separately makes for a fluffier texture.

Out for a Sunday stroll. Quinn is trying to talk his dad into a scooter.

We have spoiled Quinn with all our traveling. He now knows how to take advantage of "relaxing" in a hotel room (note the remote control in his right hand). Our trip to a CME conference in St Paul. Minnesota. We also got to visit the Mall of America. It was a great trip.
