The Chicken and Waffle Emergency Meeting
I ordered chicken and waffles because the name sounded like two separate meals having an argument.
Then the plate arrived.
Fried chicken.
On a waffle.
With syrup.
I stared at it.
The chicken looked confident.
The waffle looked trapped.
The syrup looked like it had caused problems before.
I asked the waitress,
“Is this breakfast?”
She said,
“Depends how strong you are.”
This was not an answer.
This was a threat.
I looked at the plate again.
Chicken belongs with lunch.
Waffles belong with morning.
Syrup belongs with pancakes.
America put all three together and expected me to act like the table was not legally confused.
I picked up the syrup.
My hand stopped.
Pouring syrup on waffle:
Normal.
Pouring syrup on chicken:
A crime in several emotional jurisdictions.
The man at the next table saw me freeze.
He said,
“Bro, drown it.”
Drown it.
America does not season food.
America declares floods.
So I poured.
The syrup landed on the waffle.
Safe.
Then it crossed into chicken territory.
No one screamed.
No police came.
The chicken simply sat there, accepting the syrup like it had been waiting for corruption.
I cut one bite.
Chicken.
Waffle.
Syrup.
My brain immediately called an emergency meeting.
Sweet was yelling.
Salt was confused.
Crunch demanded legal counsel.
Breakfast refused to sit next to Dinner.
Lunch said, “Why am I even here?”
Then my mouth raised its hand and said,
“Shut up. This works.”
That was the worst part.
It worked.
The waffle was soft.
The chicken was crispy.
The syrup was lying to both of them, but in a helpful way.
By the third bite, I was no longer eating.
I was watching enemies become roommates.
By the fifth bite, I understood the American system.
Do not solve conflict.
Put it on a plate.
Add syrup.
Charge $14.99.
The waitress came back.
“How is it?”
I wanted to say, “My government has collapsed.”
Instead, I said,
“It is peaceful now.”
She nodded like this happens often.
Chicken and waffles is not a meal.
It is breakfast and violence sharing custody of syrup.
I finished the plate with shame, respect, and minor maple damage.
NyanChuu will no longer fear impossible alliances.
If America puts ribs on pancakes and calls it a morning special, I will not ask questions.
I will simply request extra napkins and prepare for diplomacy.
@BuccoDrip412@joeybagovdonuts Loved them when they were on West Liberty. Lived right around the corner and would order almost every payday (young and poor days). Turbo Fries, the first loaded french fries I remember.
@_walmartman_@joeybagovdonuts Sideline's Bar & Grill in Millvalle is one of my favorite places for wings. You're from Buffalo though, so I'd be curious what your opinion of them is.
Seventeen years after helping the Penguins win the Stanley Cup, Jordan Staal leads Carolina to a championship - and becomes the oldest player in NHL history to be awarded the Conn Smythe. What a journey. What a career. What a guy. Congrats to Staalsy and the Canes.
The Carolina Hurricanes are your Stanley Cup Champions. They got it done. They got over the hump and got it done. Finally!! They got better as the finals went on. So many great performers and stories. Congratulations to the Canes and their fans.
As part of our investment in our staff, we began taking life insurance policies out on our Employees following a mandatory physical at the store.
Every Celina 52 employee is valuable to us, and we feel it is important to put a dollar amount on it. Employees who think they're undervalued are welcome to discuss their policy amount with HR. See less
My friend Rondale Moore would have turned 26 years old today.
I wanted to make a post in his memory and remind everyone that mental health matters. It doesn’t care if you’re rich or poor, young or old, famous or unknown. It can affect anyone.
No matter what we accomplish in life, nothing is more important than our mental health.
I pray for Rondale and his family today, and I hope he knew just how loved he was. I also hope anyone reading this remembers that you are loved too, and that it’s OK to ask for help when you need it.
God bless. 🙏
@NFL_FantasyPat Wish I still had mine today. Kept that heat kicked up all winter, and never wanted to get out. Had to get rid of it when the wife was pregnant with our twins. She couldn't roll out of it anymore. Lol.
Tom Petty performed all 53 shows of his 2017 tour while suffering from a fractured hip, pushing through the pain rather than canceling dates. Just one week after the tour’s final concert, he died at the age of 66.
