Made pancakes for the kids this morning. Double batch and no leftovers for me 😑

I'm still a kid at heart. When my wife makes me a stack of pikelets that are supposed to last a week, then leaves them on the kitchen bench, where I walk past often during the day. I do not know where they go, but they are usually gone within a day, 2 at most!!! (must be the dog)

I've noticed this too as mine get older. Used to be I could count on a few extra bites when getting takeaways or eating out. Now all that's left are empty wrappers :(

It comes in waves. Sometimes my 3 year old will eat 3 big pancakes, and sometimes only half of one (today they had 2).

I've had to occasionally resort to applying the Dad Tax upfront on the 8 year old to get a few extra fries

[–] Dave 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I'm gonna have to resort to that in future. Normally there are always leftovers to eat, but it must have been a good batch today.

That happens every time I make pikelets.
