W to the A to the F to the F to the L to the E - waffle me!

sometimes my old man likes to have waffles for supper and so i cook the waffles and before you get all het up over the division of labor in this house i will just tell you that you don't know jack about the division of labor and you can rest assured it's just as unfair as the division of labor in your house which is to say that both of us imagine that we are the only one doing squat while the other one is sitting on his or her respective squat.

anyway, sometimes we have waffles for supper and waffles are kind of like cake and so it's like having dessert for supper which sounds as fun as sex and turns out it is just about that fun which means it's really not all that fun anymore once you do it a few dozen times with the same person.

[hey, thanks for your concern about my sex life, but that was just a joke. i mean, hell, everyone knows cake is way more fun than sex.]

anyway, the point here is that traditionally prepared waffles - even with whole wheat - even with almonds & cimmanon - even with strawberries & blueberries - no matter what you do to them, traditionally prepared waffles are sweet. i really do put almonds in, and it really is quite yummy. you should try it. i also put in protein, which gives the li'l wafflies some redeeming value. i tried once cooking the blueberries into the waffles and i'll caution you against that unless you are really into scouring the waffle iron.

but, no matter how you dress it up, the waffle itself is sweet and then you've got to put jam or jelly or syrup or honey on it because it a dry sweet. like arizona. bottom line, i've had about enough of this cake for supper scenario.

the next time the dinner order is waffles, i'm fixing mine with ham & cheese. because when it comes down to it, the only thing better than cake for supper is shaking things up a bit, if you know what i mean.
