National Waffle Day 2018

Back in the 70s through the 90s I dined a fair amount at Waffle House with my late friend Dewitt. I think it was a combination of the coffee and the consistent food offerings ... like the waffles which were a personal favorite along with the double pork chop plate.

Anyway... nowadays I seldom consume waffles and really can't tell you when I last dined upon one. And that is one of those wistful consequences of losing Dewitt back in 1997 and all those things we enjoyed together until he became interested in the Marine Corps League.
 

So today we have a Swedish celebration called Waffle Day. They celebrate it on the 25th of March. We observe it on the 24th of August because it corresponds to some patent on a widely used waffle iron here.

In India they celebrate National Waffle Day on July 19. So the day does indeed vary.

Be all of this as it may I have been one to enjoy the waffle with all those things that go with it such as the butter, syrup, and perhaps fruit and/or nuts.

I have a waffle iron and may just break it out and cook me one soon. There are worse things to eat and believe me I consume them frequently anymore.

Happy Waffle Day to you !
