Thanks; I don't have that cookbook. Guess I'll keep an eye out for it.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

I had no idea it was possible to not own the Joy of Cooking. I figured copies materialized on their own as soon as a kitchen came into existance.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here's the basic waffle recipe.
My notes:
1. I use Bisquick and skip the sifting flour/baking soda part. It works fine. I just stir in the salt and sugar.
2. JoC suggests using between 2 and 7 tablespoons of melted butter. I use about 5 or 6. It's a lot, but you don't need to put any butter on the cooked waffle. It's plenty rich enough as it is, and you just put on the syrup, or fruit.
3. I have a non-stick waffle iron and don't put any PAM or oil on it at all. It comes off perfectly just using a fork.
4. My waffle iron has fairly deep holes, instead lots of little ones. I think this works better with the whipped egg white version.
5. Whip the egg whites last (until you get stiff peaks), and fold them in gently. You don't want to break it down too much. Make sure it's distributed through the batter but you want to do it in just a few strokes (5 or 6).
6. I set the timer for four minutes and then I check. That's usually about exactly right for my waffle iron.
7. This recipe makes about 9 waffles on my waffle iron. They're really rich so eating two is pretty filling.
8. I put a little vanilla in mine. Also a bit of lemon zest works really well. A bright note on all that richness.
9. Your fruit may very but I've had good results with blueberries, strawberries and bananas. I don't cook them in the waffle, just on top.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My coworker brought in a pear cake today with a note that says, "My mother calls it 'cockaigne.'" I was like "Because Mrs. Rombauer calls it cockaigne!!" She had no idea.

It's almost 11:11:11 on the West Coast!

Whoa, looking it up I see that Ron Paul has designated this an important day. It's UFO Reveal Day or something at 11:11.
I told Emmett this and he yelled out, "Ride the pig, Gir!"

So formal! In my house growing up it was "let's ask Irma"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did I get it?
