Waiting on a Waffle/Breakfast with Guildenstern

A18W0573

I had to get out my 17mm, super-wideangle lens to get a photo of Beaker impatiently waiting for the waffle that’s in the toaster oven. You can see the tips of his wings are a little blurry because he is fluttering them in anticipation. Guildenstern got up on the table, flopped himself down and waited to see what Laurie was having for breakfast. He wasn’t too sure about either the granola or the coffee.

Waffle Time For Beaker (WTFB). While I was heating up a waffle in the toaster oven, Beaker stood on the edge of his shelf impatiently watching the waffle through the glass door on the oven. When the waffle was done, Beaker tore off a piece and ate it on the edge of his shelf not bothering to take it to his food dish like he usually does. Even though he loves waffles, he will not eat them cold. They either need to be straight off the waffle iron, or toasted.

I finished putting up wire around the new roof on the catio, so now it’s reopened for kitty business. The new roof is lower, covers a 12 X 16 feet area, and is translucent, so even in the late afternoon there is plenty of light under the roof. The top of the kitty jungle gym is now almost three feet higher than the end of the roof, so the kitties now have open space all around, and a full 360º view from the top of their jungle gym.

Ratatouille Bocadillo and Waffles

DSCF8812

I made a cheese burger bocadillo with ratatouille for dinner last night — it was wonderful. Around 11:00 this morning I took a load of stuff to Goodwill, and then stopped by the store around 12:00 to get a paper shredder. While looking for paper shedders I passed by the waffle makers, and since I was hungry, I ended up coming home with a great big waffle make instead of a paper shredder (I didn’t find the paper shredder I wanted). As you probably guessed, I had waffles for lunch. I made a quick buttermilk batter from our old Betty Crocker cookbook, and used the waffle maker’s suggested amount of batter for the first waffle. That turned out to be a little much as some of the batter ran over the edges of the waffle maker.  The remaining batter wasn’t quite enough for a full-sized waffle.
