Your stories are as delicious as your recipes. Love the travel notes too. We need to go on a road trip to the South to visit all the places you mention. And it’s time for another waffle iron too! Thanks, Anne!

What an interesting story. I’m wondering if this recipe would work in my Belgium waffle maker? Also, what is the purpose of separating and beating the eggs prior to folding in?

To add lightness. Great question! I think you should try it in the Belgian waffle maker!

I appreciate this tribute to Marion Flexner. I depend on the separated, beaten eggs, but never knew about the second day trick. Thank you!

Second day waffles taste better too!

Sounds like you're having a blast, Anne, and I very much hope you are! xx I'll pass the waffle recipe to Hoosen, but waffles are his specialty, and it may be hard to detach him from Joy. :)

Dr. Flexner was a colleague of Dad's for a time at Vanderbilt. Had no idea he had such a gastronomic heritage!

This post is jam-packed with goodness, Anne, and you’re a great tour guide. I learned a new term: meat and three! Looking forward to Eudora Welty piece. ❤️

Thanks Jolene. And I’ve learned if you write a book about a subject you love, telling the world about it is a joy!
