Swedish Pancakes

I feel like amost all of my posts revolve around food. But right now I have this urge to make swedish pancakes, I found a recipe for them a few days back and ever since then they have been on mind. Yesterday evening I came home around 3 in the morning and I really wanted to make pancakes and sadly we were out of butter. In fact I ended up walking from dowtown because in Anchorage the buses don't run past 10 and for the entire 2 hours it took me to walk home I could only think about how I really wanted to make swedish pancakes when I got home.

So today I saw three films at the International Film Festival. Since I am volunteering at the festival I get to see as many films as I want for free. Sounds like a good idea at first but just try to figure out which ones to watch when there are so many options. But the ones I saw today were all very interesting films and quite different from each other. The first one "Eating Alaska" was discussing the benefits of eating locally and the controversy associated with eating meat. The one that I just saw was called "Chronic Town" and I am still trying to unwrap it. I wish I could say more about it but I think I need a few more days to understand it or figure out what the message was.

I am becoming rather tired and losing my resolve to make pancakes the only real goal I had for this weekend. I have also started reading "The Gift" by Hafiz so I hope to share more of my thoughts as I progress through it.

"The Gift" is a book of poetry right? I think it's the one I am thinking of. Someone gave it to my family in the summer of 2005 and I read it out loud to my mom on Block Island. I enjoyed it a lot. Or perhaps its not the same book and this comment is pointless. Anyway.
