    And they are served with real maple syrup; not the high corn fructose stuff with the racist imagery.

    Karen takes great joy in the simple things: Her kitchen is covered in trash, the stove is half rusted, but she finally managed to make a perfect pancake.

    Suzette loved to flip crepes so much that the townspeople called her “Crazy Crepes Suzette.” And now you know the rest of the story. Good day.

    She (Karen, Gretchen, Suzette or whatever her name is) is so happy about flipping the pancake correctly that she forgot you’re supposed to do it when cooking on a stove.

    Artist: I’m almost done. Can you just flip it just a couple more times?

    After seeing the mess, she realized things would be less messy with a waffle iron.

    Seeing all these paintings of indoor scenes from the 1800’s really makes you appreciate electric lights.

    Does anyone really flip pancakes that way? If I tried it, I’d just make a mess.

    If that pan is hot enough to cook whatever’s in it, why is she handling it bare handed?

    Omelette

    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Otto_Piltz_-_Omelette.jpg 

    (best viewed by Google Chrome, with Google Translate added to chrome://extensions, which can automatically translate most pages as necessary) has info and links that point to more info about this 1873, oil on panel, roughly A3 paper size painting.

     

    http://www.allstedt.com/content3.php?linkbez=&linkid2=13&linkid3=15 

    has German info about this artist (again, Chrome can translate as necessary), perhaps in addition to what’s pointed to by the title URL. So far, 2 works by him have been used here. 

    https://www.gocomics.com/that-is-priceless/2017/12/11?comments=visible 

    has the prior (my comment there pointed to the same artist info, though at a since changed URL).

    The skillet egg noodles were great; the vegetable soup – not so much.

    Maria’s new restaurant wasn’t a success, the food was good but the place was a disaster.
