I have been trying to make waffles with some advice from Rick’s mom. Not Rick, like Rombus, but Rick who we usually call Private Rick, so we can keep them apart. We have three or four Tim’s so that gets more complicated.

Back to trying to cook waffles. I got myself a waffle iron from Target, because Wal-Mart doesn’t sell waffle irons that would be worth it, and every other place is ridiculously expensive, so I got that. Then Rick’s mom told me to get pancake mix from the grocery store, but you have to get the one with waffle mix recipe. I got a generic box, because while I’m practicing I don’t want to ruin anything expensive. I have everything I need, but I keep managing to screw it up.

Some day I want to get good enough that I can make blueberry waffles and maybe ones with apples. I think you can use muffin mix as well, but I think that’s too sweet. Plus it feels like cheating.

Speaking of cooking…

Renee can cook. She made chicken and shrimp burritos. They were fantastic. There was also a fried rice and cheese side. She even bought all the ingredients. I have been able to give her a hard time and tease her about being able to cook, but now she actually did and it was awesome. Even better? There are leftovers in the fridge so I can have another one tomorrow.
