Younger son and I wanted to take waffles to the next level. Made a wet stuffing (added a few cups of chicken broth) and made stuffing waffles. Topped them with sliced turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and smothered with gravy. Eat slowly, and don't try anything too strenuous for the next couple hours.

Waffles. They're not just for breakfast anymore.

What about those Belgian endives? What kind of person deprives a vegetable of light? Typical.

Isn't that the fancy lettuce that comes in the bagged salad kits I buy at Wal-Mart?

No, that's endive or curly endive. Belgian endive is related and shares the same bitter flavor profile but grows in a tight, narrow bunch. It is grown covered in dirt, sort of like hilling leeks to blanch the leaves except the whole plant is kept underground. The blanching mellows the bitterness.
By the way, if Americans buy their fancy lettuce at Walmart the Belgians have already won.

I don't understand how a discussion that started with a picture of an IHOP waffle and a beer could ever be hijacked.  :)

Edit: I forgot to put the smiley face on my post. I don't want anyone offended or think I was serious!
