We are ok and have power but some in the areas around Galveston do not. Carmela goes down that way this morning for storm duty, not because it is storming but to help the crews restoring power as a crew spokesperson. Please pray for her and her crews safety as people aren’t always so nice when they have been without power.
OT- Cookie’s latest hobby.Cookie never did manage to turn a door knob, but now she’s working on water faucets. Our 17 year old cat Samantha has decided she prefers to drink directly from the spigot. Since she is a sweet old lady we indulge her and leave a trickle for a few minutes. Cookie wants to do her one better and is determined to turn the water on herself. I swear if she gets it turned on, she’d better learn to turn it off too or I’m going to tell the water dept. to send the bill to Cookie Cat.
She goes to the refrigerator and points to a packet of string cheese.
“Sure you don’t want yogurt, like Dzadziu’s having?”
“No.”
(Unwrap her string cheese and open up a container of yogurt for myself. She takes a few steps, stops, and puts the string cheese on the table before standing and staring at it. I try to hand it to her again.)
“No!”
“You don’t want this anymore?”
“No.”
“What do you want instead?”
(Wordlessly reaches out and takes my yogurt out of my hand.)
Elvis the realist. Yes, he’s not into the spirit of pretend, but on the other hand, maybe he’s like the one brave boy who told the trurh about the king’s new clothes
I’m never eating at nana’s! Rainbow waffles are just nasty. Do they maybe have some plain blue, green, or red waffles? Wait, almost fall. Ok, scratch the blue and green waffles, how about from yellow and orange ones instead. Extra pillowy please.

But does the Woman have hundreds of dollars to pay for that delicious potholder! I mean waffle!

But where is the iron. You need a waffle iron to make waffles. Starch is good too.

If they see it as a “waffle”, it is a waffle. this is called “logic”.

Thanks to everyone who gave me support. I appreciate it, and I love you guys. ❤
Hmm…is that really Nana’s waffle recipe? Methinks the Girl added her own special touch.

In diner lingo, a “checkerboard” would be a waffle, but I guess an actual checkerboard would be too big for that little frying pan?

“Imagination” It’s what’s for dinner.
Seems Elvis is having a hard time with the concept. But he’ll come around when he sees the joy and fun being spread around by play time.
Puck is his normal gleeful self, full of wonder and whimsy.

Oh yeah, I ordered waffles
Think you did understand
But now I am baffled
Don’t want potholder brands
Don’t want potholder brands
Don’t want potholder brands
Oh please, say to me
That you are kiddin’, man
And please, say to me
That’s not as Nana’s meant
That’s not as Nana’s meant
Don’t want potholder brands
And when I eat it
I feel crappy inside
It’s such a feelin’ that my nausea
I can’t hide
I can’t hide
I can’t hide

There’s a cafe on their street
It’s new and très chic
The kids make good things to eat
But Elvis likes to freak!
When you order from the Boy, he never answers “no”
He just "yes"es you, each course, and as he takes your dough
Puck tells you
“Yes, that recipe’s The Nanas’ -
Wafls à la Nana today"
They’ve hard rocks, and crisp bugz too
Hotdogs, and poizns, ooh
And all sorts of boots and say
They have old fashioned tie-dyed bread
And twice-cooked mr. potato head
But yes, the Girl cooks like The Nana
She cooks like The Nana today!

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
Thomios: I thought I’d try a new treat for breakfast.
Puckmosis: What did you do?
Thomios: I know we all love pancakes, so I took some batter and cooked it in the style of Maat-Tilda’s newest tapestry.
Elvis-Anum: But why mess with such a good thing as pancakes?
Thomios: I think it’s always good to try new things.
Elvis-Anum: I prefer to go with the tried and true.
Enter Queen Catshepsut the Golden
The Queen: What have you got for us today, Thomios?
Thomios: I made a variation on pancakes I named waffles.
The Queen: How delicious. And it goes quite well with bacon.
Puckmosis: I agree. And a little butter and syrup goes nicely, too.
The Queen: How did we get maple syrup when there are no maple trees for thousands of miles?
Puckmosis: The Royal Procurers aren’t saying.
The Queen: Elvis, how do you like the waffles?
Elvis-Anum: I tried one, and they are truly delicious!

I can’t decide if that’s a potholder or not. I guess I’m waffling.

Conversation this morning:
Me: “What do you want for breakfast?”
Girl: “Breakfast!”
“Okay, but what do you want? Waffles?”
“No.”
“Yogurt?”
“No.”
“Bananas?”
She goes to the refrigerator and points to a packet of string cheese.
“Sure you don’t want yogurt, like Dzadziu’s having?”
“No.”
(Unwrap her string cheese and open up a container of yogurt for myself. She takes a few steps, stops, and puts the string cheese on the table before standing and staring at it. I try to hand it to her again.)
“No!”
“You don’t want this anymore?”
“No.”
“What do you want instead?”
