Waffling continues to ricochet around the Internet, which brings me to something I wrote in the book (isn't that convenient?):
“Waffling is growing. For a long while, after I stopped blogging and while I was working on this book, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would waffling wane? I needn’t have worried. Waffling did not stop. In fact, it spread.”
(And no, the book is not mostly me navel-gazing about the phenomenon of waffling. If that were the case, I'd have to pay you to take it off my hands. The navel-gazing is mostly confined to two pages out of more than 200. The rest is taken up by recipes and photos. That works out to just less than 1% navel-gazing and 99% recipes and photos. For some reason, my suggestion to highlight this on the cover of the book was rejected. The book also features about 90% fewer parenthetical digressions than the blog, a feature also not chosen to be highlighted. Editors are good.)
But hey! Here are some other waffling experiments I have come across since I last visited the topic:
Six puff pastry waffle variations | Serious Eats
How to make macaroni and cheese waffles | Serious Eats
One-minute waffle iron baked apples | Cupcake Project
Waffled sausage with quail egg and fried sage | i am a food blog
Waffled donuts | i am a food blog

I'll leave you with this:
I just got back from being on the road doing demos and signing books at bookshops in different parts of the country. Some of those shops may still have signed copies of the book on hand. So if you're looking to pick up a signed copy of "Will It Waffle?" for yourself or as a gift, get in touch:
Chicago: The Chopping Block
Milwaukee: Boswell Book Company
Corte Madera: Book Passage Bookstore & Cafe
Seattle: Book Larder: A Community Cookbook Store
Phoenix: Changing Hands Bookstore
And, as always, you can also find the book at your local bookseller, or on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Indiebound.
More waffling to come.
