I have become known for my waffles

[moroccangirl]

Not because they taste extraordinary (they are good though, thanks to runamok).
People here are always making food for each other for various reasons. When you get back from a trip to the states, the jet lag is brutal....there is always a friend waiting at your door with a meal and groceries when you get home from the airport because that is the last thing you want to do, and there is no good take-out here. The restaurant food isn't that great in general. If you don't feel good, someone is there with a meal, sometimes friends bring food just because. My friend who always brings me food is still in the states. I was a little bummed when we got back last week because her food is so good. She gets here in a couple of days. They will arrive after midnight, so they will probably wind down and go to sleep (she has 3 kids). When I wake up, even if it's after noon, I don't really want food food, I want breakfast food. I feel like people always bring a dish of regular food, but breakfast is ALWAYS overlooked. I know some people don't eat breakfast, some people will eat cereal, or whatever. But waffles can be eaten any time of day. So, I always take waffles (I do take food food, just depends on the circumstances and timing). It's so much easier for me to take waffles because #1 I hate cooking, and #2 I can make a double batch and freeze some for us too. I do plain, cinnamon-sugar, and blueberry.  I also feel like if you don't know the person very well, they might not like your food. I hate thinking that i'm cooking a meal just for it to be thrown away, or just thrown away because it didn't get eaten. The waffles can be put in the freezer and re-heated whenever. I usually take a can of whipped cream and a bottle of syrup too in case they don't have those things at home already. Every time DH asks me if i'm taking so and so food, and I tell him i'm taking waffles, he just rolls his eyes. I don't care though. At least people will have something for breakfast! And of course the mini waffles are so cute!

**years ago I bought a waffle iron and I asked about recipes. Runamok gave me some links, and she told me to sprinkle cinnamon/sugar on top of the batter before closing the waffle iron. The cinnamon/sugar waffles are my kids' all-time favorite. If I make waffles while they are home, they will have eaten 3/4 of the batch before I can get any into the freezer. Everyone else loves these too.




**This is not a brag thread, I just feel bad for the forgotten breakfast in meal trains**

Super cute waffles! We love our waffle maker. I also put other things in there like hashbrowns, i even tried a grilled cheese in there once.

Did the hash browns turn out good? I've never tried that.

There is a local restaurant that waffles Mac and cheese.  It is awesome.

And now I want waffles.

Please do!!
And I'll mail you some waffles from Saudi. They may be a little stale by the time you get them.

I used to love eggos. And we get them here in the store occasionally. But they're expensive. The kids wanted waffles one time and I didn't feel like making them. I bought them eggos and they had one bite and wouldn't touch them. I had to give the box away. They won't eat them anymore! They only want homemade.

They're so good. I give them a little whipped cream and that's all they need. No syrup because they're already sweet. It makes the waffle iron gross but I just clean it immediately afterwards and it's fine.

Goddamnit.  I really want waffles now.

SAME!!

Bam!

I love this idea, by the way. I wish I were surrounded by people who brought me food, and I could bring them food. I need to live on a commune.

I just received a meal train invitation for a friend who had a baby.  And I have a barnyard waffle maker.  Maybe I should do this!
