The Smells of Eastern Europe

That's maple syrup, from happier brunches.
I made latkes for brunch over the weekend.

They were potato and sweet potato baked latkes -- or at least they were supposed to be baked. 

Spousal unit decided that the latkes "weren't turning out right" baked and fried a few.  The problem with that is that you can't fry latke batter made for baking; it absorbs way too much oil.

The long and the short of it was that the latkes ended up being revolting oily masses and the whole apartment stunk of fried food.  Spousal Unit (who is kinda Polishy/Russianesque) joked that the place smelled like Eastern Europe. 

At least the coffee was good.
