Maple Bacon Beer Waffles. Win at breakfast.
Every day you have a flight. A flight of meals that starts with breakfast. Maybe it’s a hastily consumed piece of toast as your rush out the door, or a Grande cup of caffeine, or maybe you miss out in favor of a few extra minutes of sleep.
Then there are those days when you invite over those few special people you know that are worthy of a meal eaten around your table just past dawn. Maybe it’s overnight guests, maybe it’s out of towners, maybe it’s brunch for people that you don’t see nearly enough. Breakfast people, these are the special ones.
Let’s say we started to categorize meals according to how much we like people we are willing to share them with. At the bottom of the pyramid would be the mid-day coffee meet up, then slightly more important people get a lunch date, we are more inclined to share evening drinks with people we like a bit more than the lunch set, then we have those that earn the time we can linger over dinner, but it’s the ones we share breakfast with that are the most important. Because I’ll pretty much have coffee or a beer with anyone, but if you can get me out of bed in the morning to make you breakfast, then you’re really important. But you better buy me a beer later for my trouble.

You can probably tell how much you like them by what kind of maple syrup you put out too. 🙂 Real maple syrup. Fresh homemade waffles. 6 am breakfast. Yup, we love you guys. 🙂
I’ve been doing Eggs Benedict for our out of town house guests. Ok it’s partially an excuse for us to eat it too 🙂
Just made Waffles for my family visiting from NYC, they brought the real maple syrup. Great recipe!
