DIY!

Sometimes you gotta cook it yourself. Like JP, using up some leftover buttermilk to make astoundingly good buckwheat pancakes. Yo, just buy some 365 mix at Whole Foods and make 'em yourself! Although you probably don't have the evolved flipping style that JP has perfected. I say, real maple syrup and sliced bananas to gild the lily. Or flapjack...whatever.
Not to be outdone, I made some very auspicious winter veggies for dinner. Butternut squash, procured at the farmers' market, was cooked simply with water and cinnamon, then mashed until lumpy. A bit of salt and pepper is all you need. For the brussels sprouts, I sliced each sprout in half, sliced up half a red onion and half a Granny Smith, tossed in a pan with olive oil and balsamic, and roasted at 400 till crispy (maybe 45 minutes). Healthy, easy, and quite yummy. Almost makes me want to cook all the time. Almost.
