Pancakes by Riley.

To all of you out there in the great big world who consider yourselves makers of the worlds best pancakes, I’m not meaning to deflate your ego, but there is a recently 12 year old boy out there who can and will always forever make better pancakes than you.

You will tell him that the eggs are getting cold, that he should put more than one on the griddle at a time, he knows exactly what he’s doing.

The moment you bite into one of those guys while sitting in the sunny backyard with an even sunnier dog on your lap… you’ll know.

CA Mm.

This is my Giddee’s homemade tabuli. You tell me you’ve had good tabuli and I’ll feed you some of this.

Orderves is not the correct spelling but has become commonly used over years of misuse. In fact, the correct term is simply Derves. However, people began to slur them together in areas of the world (certain households) were Derves were particularly delicious and filling, because a common question would be “Would you prefer dinner or derves?”

People were asked so often, they began to just call it Orderves and the true meaning of the word was lost. Instead you had dinner AND orderves. Therefor the quality of orderves fell because they were accompanied by dinner.

However, sometime when one puts a particular extra effort into it, one will find himself entirely full and satisfied  after simply eating orderves and have no need for dinner at all.

In these rare cases, it was not orderves that were consumed, but derves.

Semantic Mm

My brother couldn’t stop staring at the killer breakfast sandwich I’d made.

You know what they say, a good breakfast will make everyone head to the table.

You don’t have to laugh Mm.

Merry Christmas Eve. I got these awesome tacos yesterday. They’re kinda festive. Red and green, right? 

But really, happy holidays.

These tacos were awesome. They were piping hot and acted as my gloves in the freezing cold. That’s why I picked the hotest hot sauce, and man was it hot. When my little brother tried to pour the hot sauce on his taco, the man behind the stand almost slapped it out of his hand. I mean this sauce was hot. It was little-kid-eats-this-i-get-sued hot.

So yeah. Happy Christmas Eve.

Festive Mm.

Ya’ll ever had pine needle tea? It’s kinda cool and funky the first few sips. Then it tastes like sap. The concept is cool though. I mean, you soak pine needles in hot water for a long time and then poor it in a glass and everyone drinks it with a smile on their face cause we’re in the woods and it makes sense to drink pine needle tea in the woods, but really we would all prefer coffee or hot chocolate, but we drink it anyway.

Pine Needle Mm.

Today, I as a Belly would like to give a little nod to Peter himself. He is a pretty nice guy. He usually smells good, he has an iphone, and he is now a year older.

Happy Birthday, Peter. I’m hoping you’ll feed me something good on this occasion.

AN OBSERVATION: people don’t realize how strange of faces they often make when they’re tired. The body is so distracted by exhaustion, it doesn’t realize that half the mouth is falling off and the left eye lid is both puffed like a puffin and droopin’ like Eeyore. I mean, just go to a coffee shop and you’ll see the transformation in action. It’s like reading the Metamorphosis backwards.

HERE’S MY SOLUTION: so you don’t look like beetle juice before your coffee kicks in, DRAW A NEW FACE ON YOUR COFFEE. You can make yourself look like anything you want until the caffeine has you looking like you again.

When the cute girl makes eyes at you across the coffee shop, don’t reply with a face as saggy as the jeans I wore in 5th grade when I dug Linkin’ Park. Reply with a quickly draw smiling face, or one licking its lips.

Above is only one of several example cups I tried out. The others are not shown because they somehow turned out to look very phallic when I looked at the pictures later, which was really unfortunate because they were elaborate and cool and didn’t look phallic in the moment. Some people just have dirty eyes.

So, give it a go. You can ever draw a face on each side so you have multiple emoptions (emotion options).

Inventive Mm.

Peter’s Belly supports recycling.

Now before you get all weirded out, what does a Belly mean by recycle?? This is a food blog. ew.

Allow me to explain. I’m talking about leftovers. 

If you ever find yourself bored, just empty all the leftovers from your fridge (nothing new) and bring them into the kitchen. Then make something with those leftovers. It’s a gosh darn blast and you’ll come up with results that you probably wouldn’t have otherwise.

That’s how shepherd’s pie was invented, as well as quiche and of course, any sort of gumbo. Keep your cooking creative. Recipes are for the weak of heart.

Inventive Mm.
