My dad was the breakfast king. During the week growing up my parents took turns getting up. When my mom got up we had cereal and when dad got up we had waffles, eggs, pancakes etc. My husband however is not a breakfast guy, but he's the late night guy and baby loves it.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417370816736081847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-70454401943604645192010-02-26T20:15:48.117-06:002010-02-26T20:15:48.117-06:00I think this is the sweetest thing I have ever rea...I think this is the sweetest thing I have ever read. aPea and Pearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394425088552060459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-57767788690481265222010-01-20T18:18:49.527-06:002010-01-20T18:18:49.527-06:00What an awesome post, and so true.

For sure. ...Waffles definitely = dad in my family. For sure. I use the following waffle recipe (from Deborah Madison). It's not eggless but it is a good standard that you can add stuff to easily:<br /><br />2 cups flour<br />1 teaspoon baking powder<br />1/2 teaspoon baking soda<br />1/4 teaspoon salt<br />1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil<br />3 eggs <br />1 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk<br />1 teaspoon vanilla<br /><br />Mix the wet ingredients together, combine the dry ingredients and wisk them up so that they are evenly mixed. Mix the two together. Waffles!<br /><br />I also like this recipe because it is super easy to remember (I like how the dry ingredient proportions go 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4) so you can make waffles without checking a recipe and this makes a person look very fancy to the casual observer. Which might be key to the good dad bit.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894400772112978547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3048278372262576135.post-84321566676956451572010-01-12T02:05:38.141-06:002010-01-12T02:05:38.141-06:00really great post! i smiled to myself as i read a...really great post! i smiled to myself as i read along and realized where it was going. just the fact you're putting so much thought into waffles for your unborn child shows you'll make a great dad! sometimes it really is the little things that count the most...<br /><br />oh, and regarding your last post - one of my big pet peeves is poorly executed print art! once upon a time i was something resembling an artist (i'm working my way back, slowly but surly), and it still drives me bananas to see the kind of pixilating you described. especially if you're charging money - buy a freaking silk screen, sheesh!

Scott, my husband a...I am grinning from ear to ear. Scott, my husband and tremendous father to my son, is THE egg maker around here. In fact, he's THE breakfast food maker around here. I am so spoiled by him that he, both Saturday and Sunday, wakes up at 7:30 with our toddler and lets me sleep in. Nevermind that he's woken up at 6 the rest of the week, he lets ME sleep in both days. I've *tried* to trade off with him, but he's a morning person... and he loves breakfast. Specifically, he loves making breakfast for his son.<br /><br />I wake up around 9:30 most weekend mornings to the smell of eggs, pancakes and sometimes bacon. My toddler greets me with sticky fingers and hair styled with a smear of syrup, a full belly and a happy disposition. My husband has saved me a plate in the refrigerator. This is our weekly routine.<br /><br />You, my friend, will make a GREAT father because it's not about the eggs or the waffles or the pancakes, it's about the love. The love it takes to *want* to get up and spend time with your kid, the love it takes to *know* that your wife wants nothing more than a couple more hours of sleep, the love it takes to even contemplate before your baby enters this world just what will be your breakfast of choice. You will be amazing.Jill @BabyRabieshttp://babyrabies.comnoreply@blogger.com
