pancakes for dinner?

i dont think ive made these since the restaurant closed.

i guess they do involve roasting/cooking sweet potatoes,

and that doesnt happen too often. so perhaps that is why.

i was cooking some up for the hungry dec the other day

and thought it was be fun to do breakfast for dinner.

anyhow, here's the recipie if you are feeling sweet potatoey.

or if you just missed these and need a good soothing

recipie for a fall breakfast, whip these babies out.

the story behind them is that we thought we were going to

be opening in the fall, and it ended up that we opened

up in july instead.

so whatever, it all worked out as it should.
