Sometime last week a white pigeon started hanging around the property. Perfectly white. Very pretty bird and quite tame. He's not wearing a band and we have no idea where he came from. We figure he's here for the mulberries.
We had an early bumper crop of mulberries this year. I pushed through the pain to collect a couple of pints. I wasn't about to miss out on Mulberry pancakes!
I used this pancake recipe from Serious Eats. I used steel cut oats for whole oats. Oh and I used buttermilk instead of milk. They're delicious pancakes.
Mulberry season is short to begin with and just days after collecting my couple of pints, when I went out to take pictures of the tree branches, I found the birds had picked them clean. I was amazed. There had been more berries than I'd ever seen before. All you had to do was hold a cup in the air and shake a branch to fill it. I'll have to wait another year for mulberry oatmeal...
Yay! Back in the saddle again! Glad to hear it.
