For Your Weekend Breakfast: Blueberry-Lemon Waffles

 

A Message From My Waffle Iron:

WI: Oh! Hey! Hey there…Long time no see!

Me: What? Oh, hey. What do you mean, long time no see? I just saw you last week. Remember..pumpkin waffles?

WI:  Oh, yeah, yeah, I know. Yeah. That’s was great. It’s just that, I started to think that, you know, maybe it could be like old times.

Me: Old times?

WI: Yeah. Remember back when you made that impulse buy on Amazon and bought me and and we had this intense love affair for a good, oh, four weeks or so. Chocolate chip waffles. Blueberry waffles. Every sunday brunch, all hot and steamy.

Me: Um. Yeah, I guess.

WI: It’s just that, well, that was like TWO YEARS ago and then I just sat here. Next to that mini slow cooker you bought. Why did you buy that anyway?

Me: Huh?

WI: Nevermind. But seriously, can we, like, hang out again? I miss you.

Me: Uh, yeah. Sure. I’m kind of seeing someone else, but if that’s cool with you…was thinking about trying out these new blueberry waffles.

WI: SOMEONE ELSE???

ME: It’s been two years.

WI: Well, OK. I’ll take what I can get. Just no flax this time. I want the good stuff.

Me: Sorry. I’m on a health kick now. There may be flax involved. Still interested?

WI: Flax.. OK. I guess I can deal with that. It’ll be worth it. Meet you on the countertop. Sunday morning. 9:00.

Me: It’s a date.
