Wait till they hear what my dad did with syrup and butter.... Joel Send a noteboard - 16/01/2010 12:04:10 AM
You don't ever eat potatoes and gravy and let the bread get in on the action?:confused:

Not that it's that far from pancakes and syrup to sopping up butter dissolved in syrup, but it's always seemed to me Europeans and other Yankees tend not to sop up things. :P Are you SURE you're one of them...? :confused:
