Pancake Cupcakes

I recently went to the supermarket and I saw pancakes sitting nearby the cupcake area. I immediately thought... "I wonder why no one makes pancake cupcakes?"

So I bought the pancake mix and brought it home.

I mixed the pancake batter according to the instructions on the box. I added about a cup of maple syrup to the mix and started making bacon.

I then fried the bacon up.

I added the bacon to the pancake batter.

Next, I put the batter into cupcake cups.

I baked the cupcakes for about 10 minutes at 400 degrees.

Here is the finished product. I was hoping it would look more like pancakes. The first bite I took wasn't "pancakey" enough so I put maple syrup over the top of the cupcake.

You can see the bacon at the bottom of the cupcake. It didn't taste enough like pancakes for me. I think next time, I am gonna make a thicker batter and add a bunch more syrup.

When I do this again, I am planning to add the bacon after about a minute of baking. (The bacon settled to the bottom of the cupcake.) Also, a little bit of maple syrup will be added at the same time as the bacon. Will let you know how the next incarnation of pancake cupcakes comes out.

Building my Droid Army

Not really a project, more of a, "what I do in my spare time..." type of thing.

I am trying to build a Droid army. Want to create a battle scene on my desk at work. I wish Lego would sell their Droids as a pack of 5 or so.

Maybe I should change it to a Clone army instead. I think Lego sells those as packs., but I have been lucky that my friend gave me some of his droids. Here is my Droid army.

This is the first set of Droids I had. A group this small would be no match for even a Padawan.

This group of Droids though, this might be able to hold back a Jedi... Especially the gangster droid in the front with his sideways blaster.
