What to feed the crew between the ravaging of the presents beneath the tree and the assault on the Christmas buffet? No, a bowl of hot oatmeal will not do. How about waffles? While the nearest Waffle House Restaurants are miles away near Scranton, Pennsylvania, we might take a bit of direction from their menu and try adding chocolate chips or pecans, though a simple buttermilk batter topped with sweet, creamy butter and pure maple syrup would be, in our book, hard to beat.
And for those on your shopping list who favor outspoken fashion -- how about a camouflage tee-shirt that reads, "No Grits, No Glory"? Visit http://www.wafflehouse.com/ to see more merchandise, read all about Bert's Chili and Alice's Ice Tea, or make plans to visit the restaurant's museum in Decatur, Georgia.
And while you're at it, get out the waffle maker.
