"Okay, I've got two pancake problems going--I'm tryin' out this cinnamon roll pancake situation with a cream cheese swirl, and I'm tryin' to decide if the lemon ricotta pancakes are better with blueberries in them and maple syrup on top or with blueberry syrup--and I think I've perfected my crabcake benedict. Because you've gotta have crab. It's Maryland. So. Which of those sounds good?" He anxiously twiddled his thumbs.
