Tour de France

I made vegan pancakes this morning. Sound weird? They're actually very simple to make and yummy. (from Vegan with a Vengeance cookbook)
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbs canola oil
1 1/4 cup soy, rice, almond or any other non-dairy milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs maple syrup
--- Sift flour and baking powder, then add all other ingredients. Mix until just combined, a few lumps are ok. Heat pan with small amount of canola oil for 1 minute. Use 1/4 cup measure to add batter to pan. Flip when top of pancake just begins to set.

So anyways, after enjoying our Saturday morning pancakes, my husband and I plop ourselves in front of the computer to watch Stage 19 of the Tour de France. We're watching a live feed on the computer because we do not have a TV. So the race is over now... there's one more day of riding, but basically it's over. Carlos Sastre won after todays time trial. Now that Lance isn't racing and riders are being booted left and right for doping... well, the tour just doesn't excite me so much anymore. That said I'm going for a bike ride tonight. Tomorrow morning I'm going to a mountain bike race to take pictures and video of our RACING GREYHOUNDS in action.
