I’m a late adopter…I’ve only now gotten used to the idea of skinny jeans, watching porn on my iPhone, and bacon as a condiment. Because I lag behind, I tend to seek the guidance of interesting, attractive, and functional women (or boy bands). And then I leech off their expertise like an asexual, yet bisexual, non-raping succubus. Does that make sense? To anyone? I mean, I have original thoughts, but they mostly involve stylish taxidermy. Anyway, I’m smart enough to surround myself with very smart people.
So, I’ve been stalking my friend Sofie for years. I’m not cool enough to emulate her personal style, and I don’t wrap myself in her bathrobe and try to hug her husband when I stay with them; but I blatantly rip off her decorating ideas, and I try to be as kind and as patient towards children as she is. (Even when they don’t deserve it.) And when I see her, I lie and pretend I eat well and exercise. She’s a good influence, even if I’m only thinking about following her lead.
These are a version of Sofie’s pancakes . I made them using up odds and ends from my kitchen. They’re not as delicious as hers, but I think that’s kind of how it should be.
