    Hey Straightzi what about a milk punch with something like mead? Maybe a coffee liquor like kaluha?

    I would use something stronger than mead, personally - try Barenjager for a mead that holds up well when mixed with other stuff

    Kahlua I would probably consider a secondary liqueur? Like do one with a rum base and then add a shot of Kahlua in as well?

    I've never heard of barenjager I'll have to get some.

    Great now I'm looking at cocktail mixing sets on Amazon...

    Waffles
    also maple syrup all day when I have a bit of extra money to be fancy, but I'm not above using table syrup when the budget is a bit tighter

    There are so many variaties of waffles and pancakes that choosing a favourite is a folly. Both can be fantastic. Although waffles are easier to fuck up

    Waffles are much, much easier to make than Pancakes.

    Waffles are easier to burn because you can't stare at them while they're cooking, so if you screw up your timing it's just RIP. Pancakes you can do by eye.

    You set a kitchen timer to about 90 seconds and then you lift the iron after that to see if they are done enough.

    You are allowed to check on your waffles to see if they are done enough!

    Waffles
    here is my hot take, I'd rather eat pancakes and waffles bone dry than with anything other than real maple syrup.

    secondary hot take, grade B maple syrup is vastly superior in flavor and texture to grade A.

    Waffles need a special kitchen gadget to make. For pancakes, all you need is a pan and flame

    And buttermilk

    I'm not buying any special milk

    Just get me some eggs and milk and stale bread and go to town

    I’ve found recipes for pancakes without buttermilk. Or milk.

    And you can fake buttermilk anyway, with milk, lemon juice or white vinegar, and a little bit of time.

    Waffles
    If it's just plain (with syrup), I like waffles. I love maple syrup.
    But I also like going to IHOP and getting their stupid pancakes with the layers of chocolate or caramel or cinnamon frosting or whatever nonsense because I hate myself.
    At the diner, I usually get silver dollar pancakes, because you get more and they are easier to share with the kids. I'll still sneak in some waffles when I can, but the kids make such a mess with them.

    If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

    Also, I’ve found that you can replace the oil or butter ingredient in pancakes with an equal amount of yogurt. Adds a little tang to the thing, too.

    Hot sauce on pancakes is a real thing. I suggest everyone try some pancakes with non-sweet toppings.

    Some good combos:

    Chilli and sour cream.
    Garlic, onion and sour cream.
    Cheese and ham/bacon.

    My absolute favourite is cheese and bacon. The sweetness of the pancake, the saltyness of the bacon, the dairy of the cheese. 👌

    I like the other two, however, when I made them I didn't get the amount of topping right and the chilli/sourcream and garlic/onion/sourcream flavours overpowered the pancake. Ideally you want to strike a balance between the sweetness of the pancake and the savoury flavours of your topping.

    all of these sound like great crepe fillings, but I can't quite make the leap to trying them on pancakes

    Most recipes for pancakes that I've seen don't tend to be heavy on the sugar or other sweet ingredients, I'd bet they'd work pretty well as the base for a savory breakfast. Top them with sausage gravy and scrambled eggs

    I made 'em with a more pikelet type recipe. Basically small, thick pancakes the size of a large cookie.

    whoops the iron wasn't hot enough and now you've got two halves of half cooked waffle batter stuck to the top and bottom, time to stop everything and clean the waffle iron off

    What sort of shitty iron are you using that doesn't automatically detect whether it is hot enough?

    Let's explore this some more.

    Because I think the Water Nation might be smoothies & such.

    While the Fire Nation might be pizza.
