| Introduction | Consider for a minute the process of making pancakes. You mix the batter, heat and oil the skillet, and then you pour your batter into the pan. But when that first pancake of the batch comes out, it is slightly burnt, lack luster, thin, and you realize you wish you’d added more ingredients to make it extraordinary. So as you make the second pancake you over compensate by adding chocolate chips, blueberries, mashed bananas, walnuts, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and extra baking soda. But Then, when you finish frying that one, it is so chock full of different ingredients that it falls apart all over the plate! That is what being the second pancake is all about. I am the outcome of an overworked attempt to make the perfect pancake, and then the realization that I didn’t fit the bill. |
