When you are out + making your own decisions (and you realize it’s not as fun as you expected it would be to eat brownies for breakfast), you will miss the days when you woke up to a healthy breakfast already cooked for you!

We still have those whole wheat pancakes… and we are still only allowed to have syrup OR butter. I cant wait till I get to make my own decisions :)

Actually, I’m not sure we ever met! My maiden name was Wesolowski and I THINK you knew my sister, Stacey? I keep up with your mom’s blog when I can and started perusing some of the links she had listed on her blog yesterday :-)

Great post daughter and for clarification, the restriction on syrup or butter was in your best interest, sugar calories when mixed with dairy fat are ever so hard to get rid of once you pile them on. Love Pop

What a sad story. You bought the smaller version of my dream waffle iron… and returned it. (I’m having a moment of silence.) And the proper way to eat them is with butter, apricot preserves, just a hint of syrup (real, Vermont, first tap), and fresh vanilla/cinnamon whipped cream. I appreciate that you can mass-produce pancakes on a multi-purpose surface, but a waffle has more umph to it. Besides, when you get bored with the same old recipe, you can try the W-S savory waffle recipe with eggs benedict. Or my yummy ginger-banana waffles. Note: I do like that your dad has them all finished and kept warm in the oven before the breakfast crowd arrives. My pet peeve is a hungry crowd waiting to pounce on each new batch, leaving the cook to glean the threshing floor after the greedy harvest!

I really liked the arc of the story, and then bringing it back to the beginning with the whole butter and syrup plot point. Then I thought, I wonder who is going to buy this totally used/blogged about waffle-maker? They’ll never know, I guess.

First off, before I forget, I like the new sprakly heading. It reminds me of Bewitched (is that on purpose?)

Secondly, it’s good to see our children establishing their own traditons – but if you go with butter AND syrup…where will it end with future generations? You must learn to think ahead and start now denying your children for their own good.

And as usual – I love your blog. It’s almost as good as mine.

Love, MOM

Um, Jacob routinely made Esau look like a fool– the goat-armed, soup-loving buffoon. The question, then, is which son of Isaac is IHOP and which is WH?

Jax, I like your economical canister storage space above the range…and your blog’s not so bad either.
