00:07.340 --> 00:09.730
It's 5:20 on Sunday morning . And the

00:09.730 --> 00:12.560
USS Leyte Gulf executive officer is

00:12.570 --> 00:15.160
already hard at work in the Galley .

00:15.540 --> 00:17.540
Are these our grandma , FDR's world

00:17.540 --> 00:19.780
famous pancakes ? The recipe has been

00:19.780 --> 00:21.730
in the family for 50 years and

00:21.730 --> 00:23.952
Commander Apgar worked as a cook before

00:23.952 --> 00:26.008
his career in the Navy , so he knows

00:26.008 --> 00:28.008
what he's doing . It's a welcome to

00:28.008 --> 00:30.230
treat . I have most of my week is spent

00:30.230 --> 00:32.560
with administrative and other tasks .

00:32.560 --> 00:34.616
So this is a change of pace for me ,

00:34.616 --> 00:36.782
it's a lot of fun . The crew can order

00:36.782 --> 00:38.727
them with blueberries or chocolate

00:38.727 --> 00:40.893
chips , but either way , he feels like

00:40.893 --> 00:42.893
they're all coming with the side of

00:42.893 --> 00:45.116
morale . It is good for the crew . They

00:45.116 --> 00:47.116
enjoy seeing someone different back

00:47.116 --> 00:49.180
here behind the serving line and we

00:49.180 --> 00:51.069
hope to serve a lot of pancakes .

00:51.340 --> 00:53.618
