i love themes, i mean i can't get enough of the whole idea of planning an evening around some strange turn of events. Although presidents day isn't all that strange, the fact that with internet research we found that most presidents claimed their favorite food to be pancakes, fish & ice cream...is. though not all together of course. So, in honor of our toothless forefathers & powdery wigs we cranked out some seriously hardy pancakes in addition to the wonders that everyone else contributed. A delicous pink oblong box full of donuts & fritters, housemade eggplant dip, salmon pesto dip & crudites, flatbreads and brushetta. Our donut loving, 5 in the morning pancake screaming, walmart abusing friend Luke has a coffee addiction worse than any seattlite. To help keep the detox at bay i cooked up a little sumpin i called clinton's coffee:yeilds 4 - 6 servings
2 cups double strength coffee (about 8 shots of espresso)
3 tbls sugar
2 tbls pure maple syrup (the good stuff)
3 cups whole milk or combo of milk/half & half
mix all together & serve over ice
