2-13-2009Tomorrow morning we will leave for Cortina. I am not exactly excited. I really hate the cold and the snow. Ugh. I slept in this morning and started preparing for the trip once I awoke. Camilla asked me to make pancakes for the girls while we are in the mountains. Well ... you won't find Bisquick in Italy. I am sure pancakes are easy to make from scratch. I found a recipe online. I asked Camilla if she had any vanilla. She told me I could make pancakes without vanilla. I sincerely doubt it. They'll taste like salt. I tried to explain baking powder to her. She showed me the flour. I headed to the supermarket.
I found the vanilla. Trying to locate baking powder in Italy was a trip. Apparently Italians have different kinds of baking powder for each different food. It's called Lievito. There is lievito per pizza, lievito per pane, lievito per dolci. I bought lievito per dolci. I really hope this is right. We'll see. I am going to be so upset if my pancakes are bad. I also bought vanilla and brown sugar for the syrup. Also sprinkles. My pancakes should be colorful after all.
I will have to work all the time in Cortina. I guess it's OK. I mean ... what else would I do there? I hope we have a good time and everything goes OK. I'm a little worried.
