release the white doves, stat!

Speaking as a happy atheist and sturdy rationalist, the meaning of Easter to me is a blissful four-day weekend and the excuse to make waffles. (Apparently to stv it's the chance to make horrible jokes about the real hot, cross bunny being the one you set fire to before crucifying it, but that's quite enough symbol mixing right there, thank you). So jo&stv came round on Sunday morning, and we had waffles with cream and ice-cream and berries and pecan nuts and chocolate sauce and maple syrup and bananas and bacon. (Not, as far as I know, all at once, although some of the tottering piles achieved by the Evil Landlord and stv probably came close). Coffee, orange juice and two bottles of champagne were also implicated in the scene. I always see my waffle-making activities as being choreographed by John Woo, on account of how we have two waffle irons and twin-iron mayhem is my signature style. My Seekrit Sorrow with waffles is that I can't toss them, like I can with pancakes two goes out of three. The third one very rarely ends up on the floor.

In the process of the wafflination, a terrible truth was revealed. Jo, owing possibly to some kind of weird Polish genetic predisposition, likes her waffles soggy. As in, not crispy. Not properly cooked. Squishy. Doughy. Eeuw. I did violence to my feelings by providing a couple of batches undercooked as specified, but I think she's odd. However, there's always the chance that in fact my monolithic preference for crispy waffles is the result merely of ignorance and lack of exposure to How The Other Half Lives, so therefore, pollination!

In other, completely unrelated news, the new musical genre seems to be children's dinosaur heavy metal. This caused me unseemly levels of merriment, the more so because it's not just children's heavy metal performed in dinosaur costumes, it's children's heavy metal performed in dinosaur costumes in Finnish, which raises it to a whole new level of surreal. If they did it in English I'd have to get a copy for my niece.

I watched the Hevisaurus video with tears of joy rolling down my face. Thank you, my life, it is completed.
And I bet they eat their waffles KRRRRïïspïï.

I have to say, it also made me laugh with completely uncomplicated amusement. It's such a delirious concept, but it's also beautiful in its peculiar logic.

I find it bizarre that the only person other than me to consider waffles+maple syrup+bacon a horrible American perversion is an American who used to live in maple country...

I did notice that, but vaguely thought "well, I guess she'd know..." while simultaneously suspecting her of irony. I have a thundering sinus headache today and am not entirely capable of coherent reactions.

I dissed it until I tried it...now I'm part of the hive mind! Mmmmmmm...maple syrup and bacon (sometimes I'm just too lazy to make the waffles!)

I will eat waffles crisp, doughy (I grew up on the frozen kind, not the made-to-order kind), with ice cream, with berrys, with bacon, with gefilte fish for all I care. I love waffles. I was probably Flemish in a previous life, I guess.

I do so know how to pluralize berry.
