Or as I call it... Pancake Day.  It was breakfast for dinner. I cooked

Wow! How do you make blueberry pancakes? Can you give the recipe? I would love to!

I guess that means tomorrow is Ash Wednesday.  Maybe I'll burn toast or
something to keep the ash tradition going.

I used to use a recipe that required a half dozen ingredients, butter,

Then I tried a mix.  Following the instructions, you just add water, but
I do add an egg and a shot of vanilla.  Once mixed, I just add a bunch
of blueberries and mix them in.

I get 17 or so to a batch, four per serving.

At the same time, I cook eight slices of bacon in the oven.  I get that

Strange to add meat to a sweet pancake.

It actually is a nice balance of sweet and savory.  I have two slices
along with four pancakes.  They get maple syrup of course.

 Here, have an ice cream. With a pork chop, of course.
 

Nothing like it.  The protein is a good compliment to the carbs.  Bacon is fairly common with sweets, unlike other meats.  I've seen chocolate coated bacon and bacon cooked with brown sugar on it.
I'd never make other traditional breakfast meats with it, just the salty bacon.
