It's Not That Weird Is It?

Due to my most recent posts I'm beginning to think I have a strange affinity to breakfasts breads and their alternate uses. I assure you it's nothing serious, and I'll just get this next misuse out of the way, and we can all move on.

It's been duly noted that I do enjoy a good burger, on a very good bun. In fact I deemed this roll as my bun of choice.

Sheesh. Nothing like a good burger.

I'm thinking that's just what my husband was thinking when he did something desperate. He just wanted a burger. It was already made (since every now and then I can be very efficient and freeze a few extra patties). All he needed was a bun. I was too tired to make rolls. Getting in the car late in the day in 110ยบ weather is not an option. What is a poor soul to do?

That's right, a pancake or two. My husband has been known to throw some odd ingredients into other carbs. Flour tortillas have never seen the likes of Cheetos and beans before they meet my love. Of course I've never tried this horrible violation of a perfectly good tortilla, but when I saw that pancake burger I thought he might be on to something. They're soft and fluffy, not to thick, and relatively quick.

The next day I made some pancakes specifically for bun use. Threw some burgers together and coleslaw (oh how I need to share my coleslaw with you, I'll get to that soon). Oven fries and even some home made mayo. It was pretty good. My only problem is that the pancake is so flat everywhere that there is some structural difficulties upon eating. Other than that it was a nice burger holder.

It's not that odd right? The ice cream cone was created out of desperation and look how that worked out. Do you repurpose your foods?

Wow~ Only you would think of such a thing! And what was that first bun you showed a picture of? It looked so good.
