I was up so I decided to make waffles for breakfast. I had been planning on doing this for a while and I also wanted to have a picture of the kids in their uniforms. Two birds, one stone. I did a pretty good job, but I’ve decided that I’d like to try blueberry or something next time.

I grinded in making waffles last night, because I was up and had nothing else to do, and I got it. The problem was pretty simple, and it was part stupid and part something that comes with experience I guess.
The stupid part was I wasn’t really following the directions well enough. I was making the batter too runny and that was causing not only a mess for me to clean up, but also the waffles didn’t come out right at all.
The second part was just timing. I just needed to really get a feel for when I should pull them out. I nailed it. Grandma and Patty already had them, and Eddy would have surely been invited down if I could pull him away from the cartoons for five minutes, and they said they were excellent.
I dinged.
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.
