A great visit with my “California Kids” was capped off with the most fun breakfast at Thornton’s Cafe in St. Joseph,MI on Pleasant street. John and I have the same ,sometimes warped, sense of humor. Trying to decide what to eat, John found Mickey Mouse pancakes ( for kids) and in that same breakfast offering he found piglet somethings but no piglet pancakes! Well then, we just asked about the chef’s sense of humor and the really great and patient waitress said it was very good so we drew up our “request” to show the chef how we would go about making one. The waitress agreed to take it back and we listened for either an explosion or laughter - nothing - ominous silence. But we later got the biggest surprise- a beautiful very very creative “piglet pancake”. We laughed and admired and cringed when John finally began to eat it - the curly tail first. Fun,fun,fun.
