Robby and Jadler Use Ingredients

The morning of November 19th saw the inception of the 79 Ossipee food blog. This blog has been in the works for a while now, and only recently did we acquire the resources needed to put it into action. Tonight's meal was inspired by a simple, confusing item found on Robby's shelf. A can of maple syrup. Kind of a one time use thing. So, after using a dash of that in a pumpkin pie recipe for a rousing (and delicious) early Thanksgiving dinner at 83 Ossipee (Twitter: @83Food), our boys prepared to make breakfast foods at unconventional hours.

Since the can had been opened, Robby and Jadler decided to have a breakfast fiesta at 1 am. After leaving the library to watch Hoosiers, these two strapping young fellows assessed their ingredients and went to work on things that taste good with maple syrup. (Side note: Like barbeque sauce, maple syrup tastes good with most things).

After unveiling The Original Circus Waffler (because there is clearly not a lot of competition in the homemade elephant, lion, and clown mini waffle market), these boys got to work. Robby used ingredients while Jadler cleaned some dishes, and the toughest decisions came when it was time to select waffles. As much as it may be debated, lions, elephants, and clowns taste EXACTLY the same when in waffle form. This first expedition took our protagonists through approximately 1/3 of the can of maple syrup.

From there, the decision was made in a unanimous vote that we shouldn't waste that much syrup and should instead make french toast. Questionable actions were taken in this process, including but not limited to:

• "Nah, we don't need to use half of the ingredients, let's make a full batch"
• "Wait the pan's not hot yet, don't put the bread on"
• "So... the pan's hot now, may have burned some french toast"

Jadler's decision to add maple syrup to the french toast batter, while on the surface seems like another mishap was instead met with rave reviews by critics and in no way led to the uncomfortable sugar roller coaster that we are on right now.

Other things to note: Elias shockingly was not disturbed by our nearly silent cooking, even with such a heavy use of bread, and I, Jadler, have no idea whether the 1st or 3rd person is more appropriate for a blog posting so instead used a healthy dosage of both.

After two pitchers of gatorade, we've reached 2:30 in the morning and are ready for the dawn of a new era - mediocre blog posts about the shitty meals that most of us eat. What's next? Who knows? Will it be Breadie's infamous pasta dish? Will Nick again put barbeque sauce, lettuce, and a veggie burger in a bowl and call it a salad? Will Robby cook something and not clean any dishes? Will Jadler find a microwavable dish to use? Will Gene be boring and a real person who makes actual things? The answer to all of these is "probably yes."
