Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Made pancakes for the kids this morning. Double batch and no leftovers for me 😑

I've noticed this too as mine get older. Used to be I could count on a few extra bites when getting takeaways or eating out. Now all that's left are empty wrappers :(

It comes in waves. Sometimes my 3 year old will eat 3 big pancakes, and sometimes only half of one (today they had 2).

I've had to occasionally resort to applying the Dad Tax upfront on the 8 year old to get a few extra fries

Yeah I'm gonna have to resort to that in future. Normally there are always leftovers to eat, but it must have been a good batch today.

That happens every time I make pikelets.

I'm still a kid at heart. When my wife makes me a stack of pikelets that are supposed to last a week, then leaves them on the kitchen bench, where I walk past often during the day. I do not know where they go, but they are usually gone within a day, 2 at most!!! (must be the dog)
