Waffle Recipe (dot com)
September 1st, 2008 | by jg3 |I was craving waffles. I asked around until I found a waffle maker. Next I needed some waffle batter so, I searched google for “waffle recipe.”  And wouldn’t ya know it, the first hit was waffle-recipe.com. (who does this?)
The recipe provided on the front page is quite good but
- Add a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract to up the yumminess factor
- It does NOT make “eight or nine” waffles. Four? maybe.
You’ve got to love the banner, too…
So the idea for a waffle party went off rather well. Everybody had an idea for what to bring that would improve things. Strawberries, orange juice, whipped cream, pomegranite juice, vegetarian sausage, bacon, and champagne (hey, mimosa!).
But really, today was a day to be outside. Well, it was here in the nation’s capital. Things are a little different down in Louisiana.
So while thinking about this, I realized that all that was really keeping me inside was the ability to plug the waffle iron in. It seemed that a waffle party in a park was really feasible with just a little thought and planning. And especially on sunny summer off-days, when everyone has plans, an outdoor brunch would be a great way to start things off before people disperse to go do their thing. But where can I find a publicly accessible power outlet in a park? (side note: plugging “dc park public power outlet access” returns a crazy set of results, none of them having relevance to my quest). Or how about I just use a power inverter to plug it into my car? I may have to alternate between the coffee maker and the waffle maker, but that’s a minor inconvenience compared with having hot waffles in warm sunshine with cold OJ and chill friends.
The outdoor waffle party is doable, folks. Today was just a warm up. It’s coming. Be prepared. Be very prepared.
