Today is pancake day in Britain. Kitchens across the UK will have adventurously flipped pancakes on the walls, ceilings and floors. Pancake day races will be held (I was supposed to take part in one but it was rained off - how British is that!). I know this sounds very strange to transatlantic cousins who have pancakes whenever they feel like flippin them! However I am going to eschew the traditional lemon and sugar or strawberry jam on tonight's pancakes and make them more international. With this in mind: what's the best pancake topper in your mind?
(Be aware though that I may not have any idea what it is you are suggesting. It took many, many posts for you all to describe to me what a) smores were, then b) graham crackers. And I am still not sure I understood).
What would you do if you were not afraid?

We love enjoy lightly sweetened stewed apples or peaches or cherries. Those are OUR favorites, but I'm sure others will give you theirs.

Something tells me that most people on here are having a special dinner today. Would you care to show me a photograph, and describe the dishes?

Sugarcane, we Americans are busy doing private, secret things today that can't be divulged to foreign devils. But I can tell you that we will be having turkey, stuffing, potatoes, pumpkin pies, and cranberry sauce!

yum! That sounds delish! I made something new this year that I just loved and it was Mashed Butternut squash. I made it with sugar free maple syrup, though. It was fabulous!! Butternut Squash Puree Prep Time: 10 Minutes Cook Time: 45 Minutes Difficulty: Easy Servings: 12 /recipe-header Print Recipe Ingredients 2 whole Butternut Squash, Halved And Seeded 6 Tablespoons Butter, cut into pieces 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup [used sugar free] Dash Of Salt Ground Cinnamon, For Sprinkling Preparation Instructions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the squash halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes or until fork-tender. Scoop out the innards into a bowl and add butter, syrup, and salt. Mash with a potato masher OR puree with a food processor. Spread into a small casserole dish and sprinkle with cinnamon. Keep warm in the oven until serving, then serve by the spoonful! here

Rolls with choice of Cranberry Butter, Raspberry Butter, or Roasted Red Pepper Butter Prisca's new flavored butters were a big hit this year. I love the eggnog pie Prisca made for the Thanksgiving meal we had yesterday!
