Chicken and waffles is a kind of Pennsylvania Dutch thing, too, but never like that, with butter and syrup. Around here it was something you did with leftover chicken and chicken gravy. You put the chicken and gravy over the waffles and ate it that way. This wasn't a breakfast food. It was something you ate for Sunday "supper."

In the South, it's fried chicken in a biscuit. That's not usually something I'd crave for breakfast, but I ate it once while waiting for a plane in Atlanta. It was pretty good, of course. Still, not quite breakfast-y in my book.
At least it didn't have maple syrup, though! :laugh:

I am finding "Unreliable Narrator" (Feb. 11) to be a ripping good read. It reads like a fine mystery story.

Yes, that was a good read. One wonders if the author has some kind of vendetta against his subject. But, on looking at his biography, I see that he specializes in profiles of complicated people.
Jeff Wrangler:
I've been meaning to write that I read Jeffrey Toobin's piece in the Feb. 18 & 25 on Roger Stone and Jerome Corsi, and it left me feeling profoundly hopeless.
As an American I am feeling profoundly hopeless because if Corsi's Alt-right political pornographies are best sellers, then there really is no hope for this nation.
