Warning: Today’s post contains 2 waffle recipes
Shel Silverstein’s
“Peanut-Butter Sandwich” poem compliments today’s post like peanut-butter
compliments jam. Here is an excerpt:
“I’ll sing you a story of a silly young king
Who played with the world at the end of a
string,
But he only loved one single thing
And that was just a peanut-butter sandwich.”
Everyone knows
the kid he is writing about. He’s your neighbour who only eats ham sandwiches;
she’s your sister who only eats frosted flakes for breakfast; and, he’s my silly cousin who only eats peanut-butter sandwiches. My cousin, the most warm-hearted twelve year-old boy I’ve met, is more adventurous of course. Yet he prefers
peanut-butter sandwiches and hotdogs over anything else.
After a weekend
spent conquering me at Risk and whipping my behind in Monopoly, I decided it
was time I show him something. So I brought him back to my apartment to make
waffles! Knowing his favourite foods were limited, peanut-butter jelly sandwich
waffles were an obvious decision.

Waffle Paninis!
Earlier this week, I made grilled-cheese sandwiches out of waffles! These make a perfect lunch, especially if you are using up leftover waffles. I filled them with red-pepper jelly and cheese and grilled them in a panini pan. You could put whatever you want in them.
