Homemade waffles, with yogurt (Kite Hill vegan yogurt), strawberry jam, fresh blueberries, and maple syrup. This was the first Kurt Vonnegut book I read, as a teenager. Growing up in England, I wasn't familiar with the title's connection with breakfast cereal (we didn't have Wheaties). It was also my first exposure to Holiday Inns (some of the book takes place in the lobby of a Holiday Inn). I thought it sounded like a very fancy hotel. It wasn't until I had moved to the US, that I first got to stay at a Holiday Inn. I always think of Kurt Vonnegut when I stay at one, or even just pass one on the highway. One of the first Holiday Inns I stayed at, in the early nineties, had a breakfast buffet that included a waffle maker, with little pre-measured cups of waffle batter (not real maple syrup, though). So now, whenever I make waffles, I think of both Kurt Vonnegut and Holiday Inns.
