Tomorrow is Lumberjack Day!






That's right! Lumberjack Day is on September 26. How do you celebrate? With pancakes, silly!




Want to make these Party in Your Mouth Pancakes for Lumberjack Day? Of course you do!

There's also a delightful video if you want to see how it's done.

DIRECTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
2. In a small bowl, whisk mix, egg, vanilla and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil together. Add to dry ingredients and mix well.

Lumberjack Day also has a comic book! And my peep Marianne Ways (co-founder of Lumberjack Day) will be at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, Maryland this weekend with copies for sale!


So get on your flannels, whip up your pancakes, and celebrate Lumberjack Day lumberjack style.

Who doesn't love a holiday? Especially a new one where you celebrate in flannel face down in a pile of flapjacks?
