Hannah's Pancakes and Tomatillo Eggs

My friend Jacob was in town for the weekend and crashed at my place on Saturday. We made an awesome dinner that night (roasted turnips, parsnips and carrots with spicy roast chicken) and then brunched the next day. I made pancakes with cinnamon apples and Jacob put together an onion and roasted tomatillo omelette. The tart tomatillos went really well with the sweet onions. The only thing I would have added would have been cheese. Maybe some Oaxaca?
