   He should have been more decisive when deciding on his menu plan instead of waffling…

   I wondered why things sell like hotcakes, but don’t sell “like waffles”, so looked it up -

   SELL LIKE HOT CAKES - “Hot cakes cooked in bear grease or pork lard were popular from earliest times in American. First made of cornmeal, the griddle cakes or pancakes were of course best when served piping hot and were often sold at church benefits, fairs, and other functions. So popular were they that by the beginning of the 19th century ‘to sell like hot cakes’ was a familiar expression for anything that sold very quickly effortlessly, and in quantity.” From “Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins” by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, New York, 1997)

   It’s the bear grease that makes all the difference….

    Joe Allen Doty would say

    I don’t eat hotcakes and waffles were served to me by my great Aunt Wilemina. She grew up during the Great Depression (though she did let me know it wasn’t so great) and liked to use cardboard as a filler. I felt my first pangs of guilt in eating her breakfast fare when I saw a homeless man living in a cardboard box. I told Auntie Wiliemina that I could no longer partake in her delicious and delightful cardboard waffles because it made me feel as if I was eating someone out house and home.

    When is the last time you made hotcakes from scratch? I mean ACTUALLY from scratch, using milk, eggs, flour, and beating this mess all up in a bowl to eventually make pancakes?

    Ya know?
