Waffles for dinner?

[Berta]

Tonight I didn't want the normal dinner I wanted something different so I'm making breakfast sausage and homemade waffles. Well a parent just came to pick up her children and asked me what I was cooking, I told her waffles and sausage, she looked at me like I was a horrible mother and than said to me waffles? I looked at her and said yeah I wanted something different, she said but waffles, couldn't you think of something else? I told yeah but my kids like them is different, she said well my children won't be having waffles for dinner. I am still mad, what is wrong with waffles and sausage for dinner?

[blinc]

Not a thing!

Heck yeah, we have "breakfast" for dinner quite often! Bill is up and out of here so early in the mornings... neither one of us are real hungry in the mornings so we rarely have a big breakfast... as a matter of fact the only times we do have a big breakfast is on weekends or evenings.

Ya know, I'm ticked off for ya! What on earth makes it any of this woman's business what you're having for dinner? Geesh! Does your wafflemaker make the round waffles? If so.... {devil} Ya know, those things fly just like a frisbee!

Ttthhhhhwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeee!
*whap*

*strolls off whistling innocently*

[Berta]

hehehehehehehehe,{devil} yes it does, maybe I'll freeze some overnight tonight and greet her at the door in the morning.{angel2} (I'm not a very friendly person in the morning either) :D

Thanks for the laugh Blinc I feel alot better.

Just make sure to use lots of syrup before it accidentally goes flying through the air. Sticks to the back of the head so much better doncha know? *blinks innocently* {eyes}

hee hee hee! Don't mess with us dinner/breakfast eaters!

Bet we're not the only one's here on the forum who eat breakfast for dinner! Are we?

Uhh... Berta? Maybe you should break out your wafflemaker and I'll get mine, just in case we hear any derisive snorting.

Ready... aim...

OK, Confess the rest of ya, or prepare to get waffled! {toothy}

[Berta]

All set blinc, ready, aim, waffle. I must confess a little syrup will go a long way with chocolate chip waffles. I have left over sausage and 4 waffles maybe I'll reheat them for lunch tomorrow for her daughter and a "treat". (hehehehe)
{devil}

So anybody else disagree with us we're ready. {angel2}

My wife made eggs, bacon, and biscuits for dinner last night. When I was growing up we occassionally had breakfast foods for dessert.

I read a book once where the topic was how we talk. For instance, if I say, "You ought to go to college at Texas A&M," what I really mean is "I think you might enjoy going to college at Texas A&M." However, when I say "ought" the implication is "obligation." There is no obligation to go to Texas A&M, and it is not a moral issue either. Someone is not "wrong" because they go to a different school. The book pointed out our use of the words "ought" and "should" primarily.

The food you eat for dinner is not a moral question. Now if your kids ate waffles for three meals a day, seven days a week, the moral question would be their nutrition. Yet there are still people who will believe firmly in their minds that what you are doing is wrong, just plain wrong. When a Christian tells me something like this, I just ask them for the chapter and verse.

I know someone who got upset because of the food that a lady served at a party. She said, "Well, that just isn't done." What? Chapter and verse?

We sure do like to make up all kinds of little rules for everyone else to follow, don't we.

Do you know what the purpose of etiquette is? Etiquette is there to make people feel comfortable. If you teach your kids etiquette, then when they are at a social function, they will feel comfortable with the place settings. They will not be embarrassed because they burped, and everyone laughed at them. They will not be embarrassed because they gave someone a limp handshake and got a funny look. The purpose of good etiquette is to give you self-confidence. It lets people feel like they fit in.

What is bad form is to see someone with poor etiquette and smirk or laugh at them. What you do is pull them aside so as not to embarrass them and then explain it gently and politely. It's the same reason you tell a person in private that his fly is open; sure he'll be embarrassed, but he'll also be thankful you didn't let him walk around like that.

I should have gone over your house for breakfast, Uh, I mean dinner! Yum!

[blinc]

Darn it... now I've got a taste for waffles! Think we're going to be having a waffle night ourselves here shortly!

[Freezerwaffle]

{rolleyes}

Good grief, food is food! What's in a waffle anyway? flour, water, egg? I wonder if the lady ever had dumplings for dinner? What's in a dumpling......?

I'm not much into breakfast food for breakfast & I get people commenting on it all the time. I always try to get them to tell me what horrible calamity will befall me for eating stroganoff for breakfast! They can't tell me.

My family loves waffles for dinner! :)

How about flour, oil, water, yeast, salt, cheese, tomatoes, beef, onion, and jalepeno. Tadaaaaa. Hamburger, onion, and jalepeno pizza. Mmmm... I want one.

[Freezerwaffle]

Uh Oh! I'd better switch to french toast!!

You guys are makin me hungry!!!!!! Piiiiiiizzzzaaaa!

[momofnine]

We LOVE breakfast for dinner nights!! Have one every two weeks! Nutritional losers, I guess!! {anon}

[KayDee]

I realise I'm jumping in a little late here...We love waffles here too. I have a belgian waffle maker and we love them with fresh homemade strawberry sauce and whipped cream. I've been known to serve them for supper(dinner)too. There are some evenings when eggs and hashbrowns are nice when I've been too busy to plan a meal.
I sure wouldn't let someone else's narrow view of what is proper dinner food allow me to lose any sleep. I think I might have come up with a comment like "Well, I considered serving dog, but the kids are sort of partial to him as a pet", or some other snappy comeback. Just kidding.{toothy}

[Karenluvs6]

Oh we do this all the time!
We love having breakfast for dinner...at least twice a month. Beezwax cooks a mean breakfast!!
He loves doing it too! That's probably why it comes out so good.

[blinc]

I'm making waffles tonight! We have frozen strawberries and blueberries that we picked last fall and {yum} we're going to be enjoying the heck out of waffles for {eek} dinner!!
{toothy}

[Karenluvs6]

I had to bring this one back out.....I decided this morning while still in bed, that I am making breakfast for dinner tonight.
Eggs, bacon, grits, biscuits...etc...
My children asked me a few minutes ago, "what's for dinner?"
when I told them, they all got uptight!!
My oldest just came and said to me, "how come you go out for breakfast every weekend, but you will cook breakfast for dinner?"
I didn't know what to say to that.
So, my youngest child then asked me "well, does that mean we can have that leftover roast for breakfast then?"
AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!! {eek2}

[kezzer]

Hmm, it must be in the air because I was thinking of having the same tonight!

[RoadRunner]

The way I look at it is that if it is a poor choice for dinner, then it must be a poor choice for breakfast. Therefore, if it OK to eat waffles for breakfast, it ought to be OK for dinner.

[Grimey]

I'm hungry. Waffles for dinner sounds good to me. Please pass the syrup and sausages.
