Wordless Wednesday

My new BFF Warren.

A few weekends ago my whole family took a trip to Omaha, Nebraska to go to the Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting.  It was quite an experience and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I like Omaha.  Friday before the conference started we drove around town, did some shopping, and had to go see Warren Buffet's house, which was pretty cool to see how normal he live.

That night we went to Borsheim's for the big party.  Free drinks brings in a lot of people!

Also had a tent outside with a band, it was really cool!

Drinks with the fam.

Early Saturday morning we woke up and got ready for the meeting!  It was in a huge convention center in downtown Omaha.

I couldn't believe how many people were there, over 30,000.  It was like a huge sporting event!

Warren and Charlie introducing the board.  Even Bill Gates was there.

Due to how many people want to meet the big guys, this is about as close as we got, but it works.  

The weekend was so fun, and very interesting.  I still have a full list of topics that were discussed that I need to research :)  We enjoyed some really great food there as well, so look forward to that!

Banana & Peanut Butter Pancakes

One of the best and worst things about being a foodie is all of the food you have in the house.  It's great for random Saturday mornings when I want to make a tasty breakfast on a whim, because I have a variety of different ingredients to make something!  This particular Saturday morning I decided to make banana and peanut butter pancakes.  Yummm!

I used the boxed pancake Aunt Jemima batter, mainly because I was hungry and didn't want to start from scratch, so I cheated.  Shh.. don't tell :)

Mash together two very ripe bananas, and 1/4 cup of peanut butter.  You can add more peanut butter if you'd like a more peanut butter taste.

Mix the peanut butter banana mix into the batter and stir well.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour batter into the pan and cook until there's bubbles.  Flip and cook for another couple minutes until cooked through.

I served with a little heap of crunchy peanut butter on top that I spread like butter.  These were so tasty!  C and I really enjoyed them, and with a little side of watermelon it was a great start to the weekend.

Happy Monday, see you back here tomorrow!
