Love cinnamon rolls? Love pancakes? Have them both! These are an awesome decadent breakfast.
Total Time: 20 minutes

Cinnamon Swirl:
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Mix ingredients together and stick in a Ziploc bag. Seal and let sit to thicken.

Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons milk
Heat ingredients in a saucepan. Mix until sugar is melted and everything is mixed together well.

Directions:
1. Make Cinnamon Swirl and let thicken.
2. Mix up the pancake batter. I used a just-add-water pancake mix.
3. Form round pancakes on griddle/skillet and cook on medium heat until bubbles start to show (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Snip the end of the Ziploc bag off and pipe on a cinnamon swirl. Don’t pipe too close to the edges or it will melt off.

5. Flip the pancake quickly and cook 2-3 minutes on the other side.

6. Make and drizzle glaze over the pancakes.

HINT: Wipe pan clean with paper towel in between pancakes.

6 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup fresh basil, stems removed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 French baguette
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven on broiler setting.
In a large bowl, combine the roma tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes.
Cut the baguette into 3/4-inch slices. On a baking sheet, arrange the baguette slices in a single layer. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, until slightly brown.
Divide the tomato mixture evenly over the baguette slices. Top the slices with mozzarella cheese.
Broil for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

if you have a raspberry that is colocated and on 24×7 you might want to perform regular maintenance on it.
Especially the SD card needs to be taken care of if you don’t want to have it die prematurely.
One thing to do is to upgrade the firmware to the latest version which is easy (when you are running raspian) using

‘sudo rpi-update’

followed by a reboot

then the usual apt-get update/upgrade
change pi’s password (or remove pi entirely) > make sure you add your new user to all the groups the “pi” user had!

now, how to extend the life of the sdcard?
UPDATE 2014: raspian does most of these things, see below for more ideas:

sudo dphys-swapfile swapoff
sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall
sudo update-rc.d dphys-swapfile remove

The next thing was to move /tmp to memory. Just issue:

sudo vi /etc/default/tmpfs

And then set this parameter:

RAMTMP=yes

Finally, I wanted the logfiles in memory too. Note that they quietly disappear every time you shutdown, so they are of very little use when your Raspi has crashed. Just issue:

sudo vi /etc/fstab

And make sure it looks like this:

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 2
/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
logfs /var/log tmpfs size=10M,noatime 0 0

this is the old stuff: (2013)

everything that read/writes needs to be restricted.
think of things like:
– disable swap
– disable journaling
– the ‘noatime’ flag
– move often used directories to ram disk or external disk (off the sdcard)

another thing to consider is that modern sdcards spread the read/writes over the entire card to minimize wear of a single area – this works pretty well but the card will not let you know that it is breaking, like a PC harddrive will (sector errors, I/O errors, etc…)

so: leaving space over on the sdcard allows it to perform “wear leveling” more effectively – statistically calculated having a lot of space free on the card will allow it to live a lot longer as it can spread the reads/writes across a larger area

command to use; ‘df -h’ <-- shows free space on all partitions now on to my raspberry that crashes weekly and needs a reboot - noatime seems enabled: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/mmcblk0p5 /boot vfat defaults 0 2 /dev/mmcblk0p6 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1 swap file is disabled already, too what else can I do?
