Heart of the City by Steenz for August 11, 2011

Why repeats? Mark on leave? Anyone know if Lio also featuring reruns?

Waffles are my weekend treat.

Hot Maple Syrup?Take it from someone who lives in the middle of Maple Syrup country, Maple Syrup is served cold..\\//_

Those aren’t “old fashioned” waffles — those are REAL waffles! Those frozen coasters you buy at the store aren’t even related to the real thing….And yes, maple syrup has to be cold, and so thick it hardly pours! But I doubt Heart’s ever had real maple syrup — that stuff is EXPENSIVE! You sure wouldn’t put it on fake (i.e. frozen) waffles!! Fake syrup (thickened sugar water) is good enough for them.

I always heat my real maple syrup. Cold syrup makes the waffles or pancakes instantly icy, and I want them hot. I get syrup by the gallon from a co-worker who taps the trees on her property. A really good price, and a gallon lasts a long time.

Sad. A child should have nice memories and a good breakfast, not fruit loops. Not funny.

Mom’s missing out on a good “mother-daughter” moment.

My Step-Father (Chef!) would sometimes give us old school waffles with bits of real bacon in the batter, warmed syrup and butter. Sooooooo gooooooood…

Uh, I don’t know,I thought it was funny.

Mom would sometimes make homemade waffles. I never buy toaster waffles. I think that’s at least a venal sin, and possibly mortal. I carry on the tradition of real honest to goodness waffles. Instead of bacon (and that does sound good iwarriorpoet) I use wild blueberries and chopped walnuts.
