and it's a wednesday,
we make waffles.
uh-huh.
with real new hampshire maple syrup, of course.
rules is rules, and that's a firm one.
don't come at me with that corn syrupy sad sauce, son.
i'm not with that weak noise, boys.
no way.
i want that concentrated tree juice from the white mountains in my mouth.
yup.
and when i make waffles, i turn the hottness up to eleven.
i do.
wanna see?
ok.
check the teleport:
YOOOOOOOO!!!!
are those chocolate crispy ice cereal -a.k.a hippie-style cocoa krispies in there?
you bet your A* they are.
that's right.
i want exxxtras all over the place for my face.
hot, sweet lemony blueberries, too?
absolutely.
MORE awesomeness is always invited to make me delighted.
and that non-dairy coconut whippy creme?
maaaaaaaaaaan,
too much is the right amount.
that's how we doo-doo the big action at breakfast time.
oh, right- plus, there are ka-powdery sugar sprankles,
just to make sure you know that i dn't play bullsh!t games with my morning waffle scenario.
this is how you do it if you're determined to do it right.
right?
right!
-
so,
the blueberries are pretty good-
-
*
BLOOBZ!
-
that's 3 T powdered sugar;
1 1/2 cups big ol' forzen bloobs;
1/2 tsp vanilla;
1/4 tsp lemon zest;
2 T lemon juice,
all heated up on low-low in a small pot until soft and saucy af.
mmmm.
*
the waffles were expert.
they always are.
the latest greatest version?
it goes down like this:
-
*
COCONUT OATMEAL KRISPIE WAFFLES!
-
preheat the waffle iron of your choice
( i used a small roundie for myself, and a superhero jaun for the kids)
-
in a tiny saucepot, melt 4 T vegan butter.
-
get yourself a mixin' bowl, and add in:
1 1/4 cups flour;
1/2 tsp salt;
3 T sugar;
1 T baking powder;
1 tsp baking soda;
1/2 cup oat flour;
1/4 cup fresh-ground unsweetened dried coconut meal-
in a measuring cup, pour up
1 1/4 cups non-dairy milk ( i used unsweetened vanilla coconut carton stuff);
1 tsp vanilla;
and stir that together with 3 T vegan sour creme, blending thoroughly-
add all the stuff- wet, butts, and dry, together, and give it a bit of a rest-
fifteen minutes to an hour-
you will likely need to add 1/4 cup more s'milk (the oat flour is thirsty),
before you add a scoople to your hot iron.....
i had both griddlers going at once,
and we had ALL the syrupy, crisp waffle wizardry you could ever want-
....i only put the krispie krinkles on mine-
pour the batter, drop the kisssssspies, close the lid, y'know?
those littles aren't with it. i guess white kids don't like chocolate,
or 'weird' stuff, (besides me, i suppose),
so mine were the only super-dope officially elite circles of breakfast brutality.
that's cool, though.
we had a great time,
and i let 'em have some of that whippy creme on theirs-
-
neighbors,
they love waffles.
i'm serious.
and that makes us bond over breakfast in a way that i love and appreciate.
real talk.
***********
me and these kids do our best to do our best to be the best.
yeah.
that's four very different personalities,
and our stinky dum-dum buddy crabtree thrown in for added interest.
all spanning time and space like a group of snuggly, hungry, crafty maniacs.
uh-uh.
the maniac attack of togetherness and conversation, our overlapping interests,
and our shared love of waffles.
i like it.
they like it.
AND they take naps and sh!t.
that's pretty rad, too.
plus when breezy came home after breakfast, we all got to hang out,
and that's when it gets really good.
all the intersecting interlocking pieces fit together,
and we all get it together to be together;
never quiet, never soft.....
