Adding sugar to everything is a successful evolutionary trait? It
doesn't seem to do much good for the brain though!

I am glad that I am not that anal about foods. I like a little variation
in taste and sensation from bite to bite.

I had pancakes for brunch today and they were delicious. I had made
some oatmeal porridge for breakfast and put some in a bowl wit
blueberries for my wife, but she left for church without eating it. I
made a batch of pancake batter for brunch, cut back on the flour and
added the oatmeal and blueberries. They were delicious.

I have a friend that said when he was a kid he'd carefully fill up each
little square with syrup. Now that's anal as I'd be willing bet that
waffle was probably cold after his effort.

I wouldnt mind my waffles floating in a bowl of butter-syrup. Id dip
my breakfast ham in there too. I havent done it, because I cant
afford it. Id eat my eggs on the side.

My guess is that people will eat their waffles in a very specific, consistent, way and that how one does it says a lot about how they see the world. Waffology. I like to follow the lines that split waffles into quarters but avoid following the small lines and tend to cut through them in a diagonal fashion. What does that mean? Beats me.
