SATURDAY, AUGUST 24TH, 2024
The moments of our lives may be bright with possibility, dark with fear or sadness, or even plain everyday gray, but God's glory never fades. May God's glory shine into the exciting lights, upsetting darks, and boring grays of your every day.
Slightly adapted from one of my morning devotionals
Life is a special occasion!
Today is National Waffle Day which celebrates the fact that on this date in 1859, an American inventor named Cornelius Swartwout received the first U. S. patent for a waffle iron, Waffles are a delightful breakfast food that can be paired with most any topping — Butter and maple syrup, fruit and whipped cream, a big scoop of ice cream or even a helping of fried chicken .
The first waffles originated in Ancient Greece. The Greeks would cook flat cakes called obelios between two metal pans held over a fire.
Celebrate today and cook up some homemade waffles and have breakfast for dinner tonight.

You should eat a waffle! You can’t be sad if you eat a waffle!

My daughter often makes waffles here for breakfast. They are the best I’ve ever tasted and are very light and fluffy. She uses a newer non stick waffle iron that makes it easy to do. I used to make the frozen kind that you popped in the toaster. Believe me when I say there is no comparison.
We usually have them with butter and syrup and a side of bacon. One fills me up just fine. I do use sugar free syrup which is better for me and tastes just about the same as any other syrup would.
My favorite kind of waffles though, are the kind I used to get at the county fair. They are crispy and coated in powdered sugar and are called French Waffles.They are more a dessert than a meal. That is what is pictured today.
We had a brief shower yesterday evening so today will be 99 instead of the 100 + degrees we’ve had over the last few days. It will be hot but not as bad as it was.
As far as I know there are no big plans for today but everyone is tired out from a week of work and school, and need a day of doing very little.
I hope you all have a SUPER Saturday!
Love is sweet, just like a waffle…

We need to remember what’s important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work, it doesn’t matter. But work is third.

The last waffles we had were served with syrup and fried chicken. I'm going to look for one of those non-stick waffle makers!
