The only disturbing part was the ‘butter’ that we used.  Do you see the two pump containers at the end of the row?  They contain ‘Whirl’, a butter-flavored liquid to squirt on your awesome waffle.  I confess that I tried a dab.

We also played Bingo as we ate, which was very fun, but brought out the comptetitive gambler side of me.  We had to leave before I started shouting “Bingo!” in a false attempt to get prizes.

Lloyd was the winner on the way home, though. Check out these gas prices!

In honor of the day, I give you a poorly-photographed Black Forest Waffle!  Chocolate cake batter in the iron, cherry preserves, and sixteen little poofs of whipped cream.  I think I have a problem.

I can’t take credit for this, since I saw it on Slashfood a while ago, but we had french toast made in a waffle iron. The Texax toast pieces fit in my cheap-o Belgian waffle maker perfectly!

I liked them a lot. I was so pleased with the result, we made garlic toast for dinner the same way! Slap some butter on both sides of bread, sprinkle on a little garlic salt, then leave them in there a couple of minutes to get really crispy. The best part is how they break off into little strips, then squares, perfect for filling with sauce. I shouldn’t have even made noodles.
