The weather could have been better but the smell of pancakes won out in the end. By noon, all the residents in the cul-de-sac had come, gone and returned again with friends and family. The word was spreading in the neighborhood and Oliver was all too happy to celebrate a family tradition and feed the masses as long as they continued to appear.
Traditions were highly important to Oliver; they were familiar and respectful of culture and kept the homesickness at bay. Not only that but today's endeavor tested his stamina. Oliver found he could make three batches of pancakes now before he needed to sit down and rest his leg, stretch, and pop more pills. But that was just fine because the it gave him time to converse with people and took his mind off his predicament.
Hopefully his mates would stop by later in the day after work. Until then, Oliver was happy to cook over the small camping stove he'd set up in the driveway and meticulously turn out proper pancakes batch after batch.
