Open-faced Eggo

I ate dinner tonight in front of the TV while watching Lie to Me. I'm not a big fan of most TV shows , but Lie to Me captures my interest every time. After the show was over, I started to clean up and noticed that my fork and knife looked like they had been untouched. They were gleaming clean and perfectly arranged on either side of my tray. For a few seconds, I was very confused. Had I, in some TV-induced trance, put my dirty silverware in the dishwasher and grabbed clean silverware after I had eaten? Then it occurred to me:

I didn't have any clean dinner plates, so I put my Eggo's on a salad plate. Problem was, the plate was too small, so each of the four waffles was precariously hanging over the edge. Eating them with a fork and knife would have been nearly impossible, and almost certainly would have ended in tragedy. Imagine a waffle covered in syrup and butter, upside down on my beautiful new rug. My solution? I ate them with my bare hands, like an open-faced sandwich. It worked really well, too. The secret is that you make sure not to pour the syrup over the edges so that the waffle holds all the buttery-sugary goodness, and it doesn't drip over the sides.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole bachelor thing.
