BLUE Sky! ~ Turkeys ~ Dude ~ Throw Back Thursday ~ Omaha Order ~ Funny Busses ~ Newest US Monument ~ Waffle Day


Good 56º OMGOSH I can see my mountain morning and some BLUE SKY!!!!!!!!!!!    


Yesterday there was a slight break in the smoke and I could see the sun and "my mountain", Fielder Mtn..... Our temperature topped at 95º.



... and the turkeys were out and about...



Yesterday was the second dose of Meloxicam for Dude's hip. He has improved so much he's standing on that back left leg like normal...

A dear friend wrote me he takes Meloxicam for his knee and said (jokingly) he didn't realize it was for dogs. He said no wonder he's been lifting his leg on fire hydrants! LOL Bernie!


Happy Throw Back Thursday....

August 24th

National Waffle Day  is the anniversary of the first U.S. patent for a waffle iron. Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York received his patent for a "device to bake waffles" in 1869. His early waffle iron was used in conjunction with coal stoves, consisted of a griddle and a cover and required flipping of the device to cook both sides of the waffle. At present, National Waffle Day is at best a "bizarre" or "unique" holiday" - the fluff stuff of radio DJ commentary. Waffle promotions at some restaurant chains have helped to keep the holiday alive, if only barely.
A Quick Waffle History Lesson

13th Century A.C. - Ancient Greeks cook flat cakes between two metal plates. These early waffles were called obleios and were primarily savory in nature, prepared with cheeses and herbs.

1620 - The pilgrims bring Dutch "wafles" to America.

1735 - The word "waffle" - with two "f"s - appears in English print for the first time.

Late 1800's - Thomas Jefferson returns to the U.S. from France with a long handled, patterned waffle iron.

1869 - Cornelius Swarthout patents the first U.S. Waffle Iron.

1953 - Frank Dorsa's Eggo Frozen Waffles are sold in Supermarkets for the first time.

1964-65 - Brussels restaurateur Maurice Vermersch brings his wife's Brussels Waffle recipe to the World's Fair in New York. The fluffy yeast-infused waffle becomes a huge hit and becomes known as the Belgium waffle.
