How did I miss that spot in Peoria the month that I spent a year there?

That just reinforces the idea of...how did I miss it.

My work partner and I tried hard to find the local spots.

Also, adding cheese and bacon to waffle mix is pretty awesome. Makes it more savory than sweet. If you want to get really crazy, throw in some jalepenos too.

if you want to get into waffles, check this out

try:

handful of thawed tater tots in the waffle maker, smash the top down as much as possible

while thats happening:
cook bacon
mash up some avocado
cut up some jalapenos or grab some pickeleds out of a jar

take out totwaffle once its crispy, sprinkle on shredded cheese, schmear on avocado, top with bacon and jalapenos, add hotsauce of choice

die of flavor.

There is a place in Syracuse that specializes in waffles. Their menu includes both savor and sweet options.

An hour ago, on my way home, I was talking to a former co-worker. At this former job, we were working with a local Authority to design and build a bridge across some railroad tracks. My former co-worker told me that one of the Authority members was murdered last night, shot in the head.

In my work with him, I took him as a good, straight-up guy. My recollection is that he had two children.

That's sad to hear.

Yes, thanks.

I can see him as I sit here this evening. He always sat at the opposite end of the head of the table, the President of the Authority, I sat next to him. He was responsible for approving my invoices. I often spoke to him on the phone, or exchanged email to get him the information he wanted to approve my invoice. He was a very nice, humble man to my knowledge.

...I already made my first apple pie of the season last week, using Fuji apples. :) It was delicious. I mean, not professional pie, but still very tasty.

There is so much advice about what apples to use for pie. The right tartness, sweetness, crunch after cooking, etc. We've tried all the esoteric, old-time varieties with very little luck. But you know what: it is awfully hard to beat the good old Granny Smith. It's too tart, sure, but a little extra sugar will fix that up. Good stuff.

Looking good Billy Ray.

Careful, or you'll follow in the footsteps of pcad.

If you need 20, you have a big problem.

C'mon Billy, just because it comes in a package that doesn't make it poison. A dry baking mix has nothing in it that isn't in the separate ingredients you would use yourself...hardly anyway. You aren't milling you own flour, are you?

Perhaps Billy is a non-GMO kind of guy.

I have never ridden in San Antonio. Some nice terrain there especially on the way toward Austin. I'm sure there are some clubs you can access.

Who's the heathen now? Grits are the best. If you can't stand to call them that, just say polenta.

Butter and salt for me. Used to do butter and Tabasco in my '20s, then a long stretch of butter salt and pepper, now I usually skip the pepper unless I accidentally get some on there while peppering my eggs.

I already told him he is a heathen for not liking grits.

Grits are the best...

No...

I disagree. Grits can be good, but they are never the best.

When I was married to Clown 2's mother, we took a trip to Charleston, SC. We went to eat and I had a dish that consisted of grits, some tomato mix and some other stuff. It was quite tasty. My ex-wife made a rather rude comment about the dish and as much as I had enjoyed it to that point, the comment ruined the rest of the evening.

Best is to let them solidify and then slice them into strips and brown in butter. Very hard to beat with some maple syrup.
