Clumsy

Me, not the champagne.

We had planned on making blueberry pancakes for dinner on Tuesday since it was 'Pancake Day' here in the UK. But my husband reminded me that it was also International Women's Day on Tuesday, and I couldn't figure out why I should cook that day, so we ordered in. We made the pancakes on Wednesday, instead. I still think that they're one of the best food matches for champagne (something most people won't put together since they only eat pancakes for breakfast), so we had a bottle of Maison Lenique 2005 with them.

While the champagne was faultless, I have to say that it wasn't my best meal. My hands weren't working very well and I had a hard time flipping the pancakes, especially since the spelt and corn meal blend that I used made them more delicate than wheat-flour pancakes. On top of that, I knocked a full glass of champagne off of the table, not only wasting perfectly good champagne but breaking one of my favourite and most expensive glasses - made even more expensive because HMRC charged me as much as the glasses cost to bring them across from the US!! Not my finest moment...
