The sordid tale began with a Saturday morning pancake breakfast last week at the Jones household. I had a layer of hot fudge on my pancake, topped with whipped cream and mini chocolate chips. Others added cherries, whipped cream, raspberries, or more traditional toppings. Little did we know, that the mix we were eating would be identified this week for a recall !
We felt OK after eating the pancakes, but then everyone got sick to their stomachs (except Tyler, who appears to be impervious to harm). The three other school-age kids missed school the first part of the week, with what we thought was stomach flu. One thing that made us wonder though, was that the stomach sickness seemed to cause real pain, not just nausea.
Wednesday school was canceled, due to ice. Teresa used the remaining batter to make another batch of pancakes, after which everyone who ate them got sick again. After a week or so, That's when we got suspicious and Teresa found the reference to the recall. The UPC from the pack matched that of the recall. Only one kid is still throwing up, but it has been a yucky week. Teresa left a message at the company, and after all this sickness, we are expecting an apology from Aunt Jemima herself!

Yikes! Hope you guys are all feeling better. Thanks for the heads up on Aunt Jemima - we'll steer clear of her tainted goods.
On a food-related note, I think I saw Bump in a Lean Cuisine video clip on Oprah this week. It may have been a repeat of that one you talked about earlier, but I saw the back of a head that looked suspiciously like his. Very cool.
Wonder if Aunt J is actually a closet Islamofascist terrorist out to poison western civilization. Keep your guard up.
