I may be the biggest lover of all things Christmas, but with Thanksgiving still over a week away, it all felt, well, premature. In the last 24 hours, something has changed.

Was the microwave broken? I got angry, as one will when they want food and want it now. When I took it out, the pancake was slightly less cool. It took me a few hours to realize what had happened.

It only stands to reason that my pancake was so utterly dry that there wasn't enough water in it to be absorbed by the microwaves. Thus, the world's driest pancake was born.
