Merry Christmas, B7 Ward

The B7 Ward celebrated the holiday season with a delightful Christmas party on Saturday, December 7.   The committee, made up of Mary Jean Carson and her family, made the decision with the support of the entire ward council, to forgo a traditional dress-up, sit-down dinner in favor of a Christmas breakfast of German pancakes, bacon, orange juice, Santa Claus and Max the Magician.  

By most days, and nights, Stan Poole considers himself a normal Accord-driving, mortgage-paying, yard work-avoiding, middle-age husband and father of five who sells ads for The Spectrum, but for our entertainment, Stan Poole disappeared and was replaced by Max, a hilarious comic magician.  

It was an enjoyable Saturday morning with friends, good food and filled with the spirit of the holiday.  As the festivities ended and people began heading home, snow started to fall – a perfect end to a memorable holiday party.

And, here’s the recipe for German pancakes:

            *          6 beaten eggs

            *          1 c. white flour (whisked in until smooth)

            *          1 c. milk

            *          ½ t. salt

While preparing the mixture, preheat the oven to a temperature of 410 degrees.  Warm a 9 x 13” cake pan in the oven with 2 T. butter until it melts.  When the oven reaches its correct temperature – but before the butter burns – pour in the pancake mixture and cook for another 20 minutes.  When the pancakes are ready, cut to an appropriate size and serve with butter, warm syrup or jam and sprinkle with powdered sugar. 

Merry Christmas, one and all
