I'll be honest. I still don't really get how to use Pinterest. I basically just use it as a Google search with pretty pictures. However, every so often I find myself getting pinspired (see what I did there?). I start saying to myself, Yes!! I could totally do that 30-day squat challenge! Sure!! I can DEFINITELY build a couch out of wood I find littered on the street! Of course!! Why didn't I think of a way to crochet Matthew McConaughey?
And then I realize that this is all pure nonsense and no one actually does the things that they pin.
Every so often though, I look for something that I can cook or bake, allowing me to take some of the guesswork out of my weirder ideas. Honestly, if you put enough of the key words you want together into a Pinterest Search, someone somewhere has done something similar to your idea (I will soon be posting one of these mash-ups - butterscotch cupcakes + filled cupcakes + black forest cake + iPhones...).
And then, on days like this past Saturday, I come across a Pin with the title, "Award Winning Buttermilk Pancake Recipe- Melt in Your Mouth Buttermilk Pancakes."

Now, I make a damn fine pancake, but how can I not try such an impressive recipe?
And now time for my warning while Pinning: do not trust what you see on Pinterest (unless my recipes make their way onto Pinterest). I will not provide the offending recipe here (because what is the point?) but here is what happened when I made the Award Winning Buttermilk Pancakes:
