Dutch baby

So, I was thinking of what to eat for lunch the other day. Elephant ears like you get at the Faire sounded good and I was glancing at results on Google. Oddly enough though, some German pancake pics popped up among them. Having recently moved my pantry is in a minimalist state, but I could make either with ingredients I do have.

I am surprised at how many names this goes by. I usually think of Dutch baby and that is how I see them on menu in restaurants. I knew that they were also basically German pancakes. But I saw several other names including hootenanny. Hm. And naturally, there are assorted and just slightly different versions of the recipe floating about. I had seen several in the the past, but I came across some that were not preheating the pan/skillet and melting butter at the same time before baking. One even did a 13x9 size for her family.

I went with a 3 egg version and had to hand mix. It came out pretty good, but I missed the lemon and powdered sugar lightly dusted on top before serving. Perhaps I will be able to get those next shopping run.

You totally should try these. Easy to make and tasty to eat!

Large fruit

So, I just had to share. Are these grapes seriously like huge? Wow. They taste pretty good. I am just surprised at the size. Note the quarter to show size comparison.

That was my random thought to share for this evening.

Let's see if the app posts without error.

Been busy working, and carving on the side.  :-)

It's that time of year. Carved anything lately?

This post is a review. I recently got a new Bluetooth speaker. Specifically this one:

CakFun Portable Bluetooth Speaker 4.0 Outdoor Waterproof Wireless Dual Speakers System for iPhones with Bass Subwoofer, Fm Radio, Microphone - Army Green

This is a pretty cool Bluetooth speaker. It's bigger than the oontz one I had before getting this. It's not huge though. The olive green color and kinda rugged look is appealing visually. It has a carrying strap on the side which is a convenient way to carry it. I haven't tested the waterproof claim, but I appreciate that it should be. Using outside walking, hiking, or doing whatever it seems able to hold up well. It sounds really good when streaming  music to it from Spotify. Nice depth to the music. The battery life is a big plus! 8-10 hours of play is great.

This also has NFC, which is nice. It has a radio transmitter so you can listen to the local fm stations wherever you are. This is especially great if you want some tunes without needing to stream from your phone or tablet.

The only dislike I have is the voice when going to pair it. Which it easily does with both tablet and phone. The voice is both way loud and unpleasant. I would like to be able to turn it down at least and cannot see a way to do so.

This is a competitively priced speaker and good value for the price. Would recommend it if you are in the market for one.
