waffles waffles, aaah!
I love waffles but I also hate them. I'm like, mm.. i'm in the mood for waffles. So i make them and then I put my topping of choice on them, like syrup or jam but regardless of what it is, I am then reminded for the 80 billionth time that whatever topping you put on waffles gets stuck in the little squares and makes it impossible to spread around. I then have to fight the urge to just mash down all the little squares on the waffle and flatten it out which would turn it into a pancake and if i wanted pancakes then I should have made pancakes and the idea of filling each square with topping sounds not only laborious to me, but unappealing since i don't think i want THAT much topping. So what to do?? What?? It's a dilemma, i tell you. A quandary.
I'm totally with you on waffles. They're fine sure, but I'll take the pancakes. Thanks. Plus it's so darn hard to clean the waffle-maker. Any food that requires a dedicated appliance really has a lot to prove once it makes it to the plate, and what can be said for them? Waffles strike out.
ReplyDeleteI am usually not partial to waffles OR pancakes. But if I had to choose one.... it would be waffles. The tend to keep a certain crunch that pancakes never even obtain. As for the topping dilemma, it took some thought, but I came up with: spray butter(available at any grocery store) and a sifter full of powdered sugar. Both are easy to distribute over such a trial-some surface.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, welcome! :) And: spray butter and powdered sugar, brilliant! Toppings that can be evenly distributed.
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me of the new spray salad dressing by Wishbone. While i generally dislike Wishbone brand dressing, the idea of spray-on salad dressing is very intriguing...
Tell me about it!! One calorie per spray! -- I'll bet Wishbone is making a fortune off that clever idea.
ReplyDeleteI've never wandered onto your blog before, but I've read many a comments from you on Rob's blog. I figure, anyone who has the same sick sense of humor as Rob and I, how can I go wrong. I went to school with Rob, by the way.
I can't stand powdered sugar on anything. It seems that I take a breath right before a bite enters my mouth and I aspirate the powdered sugar and a coughing spell insues. I learn my lesson for a few bites and then forget and the hacking continues.
