My (slightly irreverent) Fall Bucket List
I think that, of all the seasons, fall has the most arrival dates. September 1 marks the start of meteorological fall. If Labor Day is the farewell to summer, then the day after must be time to welcome fall, right? The autumnal equinox occurs on September 23 this year. And for some people, the start […]
Yummy waffle recipes in honor of National Waffle Day
Waffles are a pretty amazing food and they make breakfast downright special. Although waffles can be traced back to the Netherlands and Belgium in the Middle Ages, they really came into their own Cornelius Swartwout, of Troy, N.Y, patented the waffle iron on August 24, 1869.
