Big Ed's Waffles
How many of you had the pleasure of having Eddie, Sr. make waffles for you? When Momma and Daddy and I went for a visit at the end of summer, 1999, we played in the whirlpool, were chauffered in the convertible, went to the casino, had some good seafood for supper (was it bar-b-qued shrimp?), and had the deluxe waffle breakfast, with strawberries. Breakfast was so wonderful and gracious, I came home and bought a waffle iron, and went to search for the perfect waffle recipe. The secret is cornstarch. I have worn out that waffle iron, for guests and the occasional Sunday delight. When I was staying during the week with dad and coming home on week-ends, Sunday waffles were a way Kent and I celebated our time together. Every time I make waffles, I think of Ed and of his contagious delight in making his guests waffles. Tonight I am going to use our new waffle iron for the first time. We will have strawberries with them. And once again, I will celebrate that time when Ed made our time together very special.

Camellia, you are so right about Eddie!! When Lady, Yogi, Jack and I visited with Nell and Eddie last, Eddie would have nothing but cook our breakfast himself. Even with Jack trying to confuss him, he never missed a beat. He let it go in one ear and right out the other. He never let Jack get anything on him. Later in the day he took us for a po boy, then casino hopping. What fun!!
