cooking for eight

I'm cooking for community dinner.  The asparagus and veggie sausage and carrots are ready to go.  All that's left is the pancakes.  And condiments.

I will be using an unfamiliar griddle.  I feel a little nervous.  It has a weird place in the middle of it where the metal is bent.  We didn't do it.

The painters are driving me crazy.  But it's not a very far drive.
