That is why I almost never order them. I have been disappointed too many
times. I think my wife and I are two of the few people who make our
own. We make them about once a month on the average. Personally, I
would just as well make pancakes because they are the same basic
ingredients and a lot less work, but my wife loves waffles. It is
probably because she likes butter so much and she can get more butter
using a waffle as the ingredient than she cane with pancakes.

The only restaurant in the area that serves decent pancakes had a
serious fire last week and is closed for a while. There is nowhere that
I would bother to order waffles.

It is a major pet peeve of mine that the restaurants that specialize in
waffles and pancakes are among the worst places to get them.
