Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers out there!
By the time I get this show on the road, it will be well past breakfast time. No worries since these yummy buttermilk pancakes are good any time of day. I love how the little ramekins of blueberry lemon butter dress up the plate.

Seattle-based duo, The Local Strangers, have a new album out titled ‘Take What You Can Carry’. Packed with an eclectic mix of alt-countryish tunes, I am loving it more with every listen. The He/She harmonies are fantastic. There is also a disc full of the songs performed live, acoustically.
Check out The Local Strangers on the band’s Website, where you can learn of upcoming shows in Washington and buy their music.
Cheers!
