Charlie, David and I went shoe shopping for Charlie this morning at Tanger Malls. While shopping Charlie decided he didn’t want to go shoe shopping so I looked for T Shirts and Board Games.
Charlie asked if we could get something to eat. Raising Caines were close by. We went in and got Charlie lunch. David and I went over to JR’s Cafe of Saginaw for one of there lunch specials.
I wish I had looked up National Food Holidays March 25th, National International Waffle Day I know Charlie would have wanted to go have breakfast at I Hop.
Charlie would have ordered Chicken and Waffles. Quite a combination huh? Do you like Chicken and Waffles? David and I like both Waffles and Chicken just not together.
If I had the ingredients for Waffles I would make them for dinner to surprise David and Charlie with but we don’t. I don’t even have Ego Waffles because Charlie and his friends ate them all.
Not only that I don’t have the ingredients to prepare Waffles this evening. I’m supposed to be packing to go see my brother tomorrow. Would you like to come with us?
