Yes, whenever a "hot story" takes place in a Waffle House, you know you're in Kentucky. Also, whenever the top story is a "local peasant" being bitten by a snake, it's either a ridiculously slow news day, or also, in Kentucky. Especially when they interview Leonard Fitch's cat, Sparky, who also was bitten.

While it may be an immediate signal that you are in Kentucky, or south Georgia for that matter, you would be truly suprised of the drama that can arise at a Waffle House. As what I would call somewhat of a Waffle House Addict, I have seen things that would blow your mind.
Men arguing over who's dog has more teeth (they both had 3 teeth among them including the 2 dogs) to the drama of friendly waitresses fighting in the back (true story very funny).

So the moral of the story is; yes, it may be a slow day in the news, but the drama of the Waffle is always there.

I admit, sometimes we get stuck, astounded by the vast array of options in front of us, afraid to commit to any one of them, for fear of offending the pepperoni. But gentlemen, it's time we committed! Or as Shakespeare said, in a completely unrelated context , "Once more unto the breach, dear friends!" So without further ado, I'd like to present you with the solutions to the quandaries introduced above: 1) Canadian bacon does have an exotic reputation going for it. After all, it's international! You can almost envision those stoic bacon miners, the wild and free men of the great white north, delving deep into the earth in pursuit of that elusive vein of canadian bacon ore! Sadly, and I don't mean to disillusion anyone, but it's reall

Spelling Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
I have always had a hard time spelling the word "hors d'oeuvres," for the times I've sent out party invites. And it's a pain in the tush to try and find it on M-W.com. So here's a good way to remember how to spell it: HORSE (but no"E") + DOE+ UVRAYS (But spelled like it's pronounced by Julie Andrews in the D0-Re-Mi song on the Sound of Music...UV UV+RE...silent H...S) Then remember there's an apostrophe after "D." Or, if you took French (I did not), apparently "oeuvres" means "works," if you can remember that (I'm not putting money on it, because I just used freetranslation.com ). Here's a fun article on food spellings .
