I can't imagine there being much alcohol left in cooked pancakes

One morning we decided to make pancakes & sausage for breakfast. I was to do the pancakes with some assistance from whoever else was around to help out. Well somehow we got to talking about how in college, we used to make pudding (typically chocolate or butterscotch) with some Bailey's Irish Cream instead of the milk (sometimes part milk/part Bailey's). Well everyone was all "ooh...lets try it with pancakes!".
So we did. Only we had no idea if they would cook right...and the kids needed to be fed as well. So we had two bowls of batter and made pancakes from both. Well the batter (and thus the pancakes) made with Bailey's was noticably darker. The Bailey's cakes cooked up just fine, and were quite good (since we were sampling the first ones off the grill).
Well then I just started making both of them, and putting them on serving plates. I told everyone which one was which, and just kept cooking. I didn't look to see who was taking what. Well Kit's kids came in, and just jumped right in and got their own food (they were self-motivated like that). I think it was Kit's daughter who noticed that the darker pancakes tasted "better than the other ones". Needless to say, we were mildly horrified at feeding the kids booze-cakes.
As I stated, not my fault. I was just the cook. *laughs*

That reminds me of when we visited my great-aunt in southern Germany. I was 16 and my brother 14, and she always asked whether we wanted a glass of wine with the food (which we never did). However, one day we went out to a restaurant and the dessert was some kind of flambéed thin pizza-like things (flammen-kuchen). This we were definitely not allowed to eat, even though the alcohol was just burned off in front of our eyes, as this wasn't just wine but liquor

Jeo, if I'm ever in Cali, will you come out and have a glass of warm tap water again?
