Making waffles, making stuffing waffles [sung to the tune of "Bacon Pancakes," of course]...

Kenji digs into the waffles.

Ben and Jamie also want to dig into the waffles.

Jim and Rémy and Leandra and Max drop by and NOW THE WAFFLE PARTY CAN BEGIN.

Kenji's next waffle experiment: cheddar bacon waffles. But he used a bit too much cheese. Whoops.

Maybe cheese 'splosion was for the best. The waffles came out crazy good.

Next waffle experiment: packaged chocolate chip cookie dough. It smelled awesome! But tasted sort of terrible.

Yuba, will you get out of bed for some cheesy meaty waffle?

Yup, Yuba wants waffle.

Yuba: I want this bed.

Hambone: Ok. I ain't moving.

Yuba: Ok.

Hambone. Ok.

Hambone did eventually get up to partake in waffle action.

Hambone's skin folds were looking especially foldy.

Now you can feel what the sausage feels.

Pearl onion prep for Kenji, powdered gravy prep for Jamie.

Taste the brown rainbow.

This week's most popular snack of shame: raw packaged cookie dough.

Jim and Leandra, unintentional flannel relatives for a day.

Yuba and Hambone know how to spend a Friday afternoon right.
