Sorry, if I'd known there even WAS a Waffle Day, I would have decorated my house and sent appropriate Waffle Day greeting cards. Today we celebrate yet another holiday that isn't listed on my Hello Kitty 2013 wall calendar. I hope you will deign to accept this humble post as marking the day with at least a modicum of its due respect.
A waffle is a batter- or dough-based cake. The word, "waffle" first appeared in the English language around 1725, but it had different spellings and pronunciations in other languages, going back possibly to the 12th Century, CE, from a Frankish root word.
Waffles don't get their happy little syrup-collecting divots by hand: hoorah for whoever invented the waffle iron! Are you surprised to learn I have a Hello Kitty waffle iron?
Ordinarily, I'd put in a good word for any place called Waffle House, but I have since learned that The Original Pancake House has its origins in Portland, Oregon! I will eat a hat-shaped waffle if Portland's Original Pancake House doesn't serve waffles.
Ha! They do serve waffles!
8601 S.W 24th Ave.

The Handsome One and I will have to go there and try to re-start our erstwhile J1 & J2's Breakfast Blog with this one! Cheers!
