National Waffle Day 2017

The US patent on a waffle iron fell on August 24. This inspired National Waffle Day in the United States. I really enjoy these a small crispy cakes made of batter which has been baked in a waffle iron.

I like them hot with butter and syrup — sometimes honey or fruit compote and whipped cream..

My love of the Belgian Waffle was cultivated in Southern California in the early 1980s at a little place in Laguna Hills where I went every so often for breakfast.

All in all the waffle is one of those things which recurs through my life over the years because I actively pursue them.
