Happy National Waffle Day

TWIT and I would like to wish you, faithful readers, a very happy National Waffle Day.  

The United States will celebrate National Waffle Day as it does every year on Aug. 24. Unlike some fun food holidays, however, there’s a historical reason for marking this particular date. It commemorates the day in 1869 when Cornelius Swartwout was awarded the first U.S. patent for the waffle iron, which made it much easier to cook the breakfast favorite.

The Old Man and I are celebrating with waffles and piggy sausages this morning.  I hope you are able to do the same.
