Nut Waffles

2 eggs

2 cups flour

1/2 cup oil or butter

1 3/4 cups of milk

1 Tablespoon sugar

4 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup of chopped nuts, I like mine finely chopped - however most people like thiers coarsly chopped - I also prefer to use haselnuts or cashews, but it should be your favorite

Mix and cook as described above.

Good morning Troops, Canteen Crew!!

A little birdie told me it's "Pancakes on Wednesday!"

Little Blonde Freepers doesn't eat pancakes.
Little Blonde FReeper loves drinking lots of coffee with the Troops.
It's a "Good Thing"
Ms Feather doesn't do Blonde Jokes nor does she raise Skunks, like that Burka Man!!

Ms Feather is an entertainer!

And she has her own tank!
Have a wonderful day!

Thought for the day :
"It is always the best policy to speak the truth--unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar."

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

See You All Tonight after work.
Enjoy your pancakes!

[beachn4fun]

yeah....well I think we have the rain now......thanks.......

8-D

[beachn4fun]

Hey texson66..........

[tomkow6]

Hey, Linda, does this mean

TODAY is your BIRTHDAY?

 

50!

[beachn4fun]

Hey never4get....you forgot to pull up your drawers in the back.....we can see your crack..... no poet intended (LOL)

[beachn4fun]

Hey Ms. Feather...... How are you today? Glad you could make it.

Did you notice that burka man is trying to steal Radix's pancake wednesday? trying to make it waffle wednesday.....can you straighten him out?

[tomkow6]

[tomkow6]

[Bethbg79]

Good morning Troops!!

Good morning Canteen crew!!

I'm having my floors redone in my house and today they're doing the computer room. Which means I have to unplug everything. :-) They should have the room done by this afternoon but we'll see. Hopefully it will go smoothly so I can come back soon. I'll miss you all! ((((HUGS to everybody))))

[beachn4fun]

hey tomkow...what happened to your kitty kat? had too much to drink?? Or did he narrowly missed getting run over??????????

[Kathy in Alaska]

Are you stuck at work? Awww...you are? Bummer! Don't you wish you were on the beach doing absolutely nothing? Me too! I'm at work! All I can do is post this lousy rant before I can come and play!!

Troops, Canteeners, Visitors, Aliens, and Burka Man's "voices"! It's great to have you with us today!

Mocha Frappo anyone?

While I'm slaving away at work, think about things like this:

Do not ruin your day thinking about these below:

The French and slobbering smiley are to be ignored!
And if a strange guy with a Teddy Bear and burka come up and ask you to buy a burka, JUST SAY NO!

Oh! If you see my Ma, tell her I ran off with a sailor! That will brighten her day!

Have a great day everyone! See you later tonight! Don't forget the reason we are free and who provided it.

Ma grounded me for life because she's evil and mean. So? She decided to post this for me because she's so darn controlling. If you don't hear from me in the morning, it's not because I don't want to post to any of you. It's because she's made me go to work and then home again. Such is life for a child that is misunderstood by her Ma. Ugh! She needs reform school!
