Yes, so soon after my previous post about the delicious breakfast delicacy known as waffles, is yet another post about the delicious breakfast delicacy known as waffles.
*ahem*
So I loaded up the truck Monday night and headed to the apartment. It took an hour and fifteen minutes to get there after work, but all in all, the drive wasn’t too horrible. We unloaded the truck and ate dinner at Las Esperanzas, where I got my usual chorizo torta (pork sausage sammich). Afterwards I set to work setting up my entertainment system.
Setting up the entertainment system is a battle I fight every few years, and it only gets more difficult with time as more components are added. I remember curling in a fetal position, back in 1998, wondering why I had DVD sound, but no picture. I remember whimpering in the corner in 2000, wondering why all the speakers on the left wouldn’t function. I remember cackling madly on the roof in 2004, questioning the heavens why only channel 3 came in.
So, when I stood there, looking at the stack of components and bundles of wires, I was not looking forward to the task at hand. I took a deep breath, and set to work, and began setting components and connecting wires. After about twenty minutes or so, I had connected all the wires to the places I think they should go. I take my remote, and wait for everything to go wrong.
Everything turned on, everything had sound, and unlike before, I could use both the VCR and TV as the channel tuner (the thingy you flip the channels on), and still have surround sound on both. Yes, somehow, on my first try, I not only succeeded, but managed to hook everything up better than before. It was shocking because I had a couple extra component cables that I couldn’t figure out where they went.
So I spent a little while revelling in my success, then went to sleep on an inflatable mattress on the floor.
In the morning, I woke up to the smell of fresh homemade waffles with strawberry syrup. I had never had waffles that weren’t the prepackaged frozen kind, and I gotta say, homemade are a LOT better. We ate on the living room coffee table because we don’t have the kitchen table yet, but it was a hot breakfast before work, and that’s something I haven’t had in years.
So, yes, I still like waffles.
Zel-kun out.

If you like them that much, buy me a waffle iron! I’ll make them for you in the mornings all summer long without having to bother my mother to borrow hers! =P

hmm…actually, I think I made him chicken, bean and cheese burritos once…but that was at my mom’s house. Come to think of it, I made him french toast last week at my mom’s house too. And I’ve made him steak and scalloped potatoes now that I think about it! blah, 3 meals I cooked for him over the course of 2 and a half years! BUT it was his first home-cooked meal at our own place, so I guess that counts for something!
