Do you ever make ebelskivers? We don't make them very often, but we always do on Conference Sunday, when we watch this.
The tradition started years ago when we lived in California. Our friends would invite us over and we'd watch Conference and have a huge brunch, featuring Ebelskivers By Matt. We'd wear our pajamas all day and squeeze onto the big couch together. Good times....
If I'd thought about it earlier, I would have taken pictures of the ebelskiver-making process. It's so easy. We usually fill half of them and leave the other half plain (for madsen, mr. bland-foods-only). Today's ebelskivers were filled with Sarabeth's apricot-orange marmalade (sarabeth's kitchen is the restaurant brins and i went to in new york -- you can also get the marmalade at williams sonoma). We like our ebelskivers with melted butter and powdered sugar, but they're also good with jam or good syrup.
We eat until we're stuffed (it's one of the few times a year my kids get bacon...today there wasn't nearly enough), then we settle in to watch and listen. In California, the kids were little, so we had to provide activities to keep them occupied. But now, they listen...mostly. I like to think that they come away feeling inspired and motivated to do better, be better.
I know I do.
I also like to think that, in California, the tradition continues. That at about the same time I was carefully turning my ebelskivers, Matt was making his, too.
