Pancakes Vs. Waffles: Battle Of The Ages

Pancakes Vs. Waffles: Battle Of The Ages
Pictures-Base

This delicious war has been going on for far too long and I am here to settle it once and for all. Which is better, waffles or pancakes?

Round 1: Time to make

Both pancakes and waffles take relatively the same amount of time to make, but my fellow couch potatoes and sloths can most definitely tell the difference. Preparing the batter is the same for both delectable dishes. The time difference is in the actual cooking. Waffles take the lead her by only having to be put into the waffle maker and just checking occasionally to make sure we didn't leave it in too long. Pancakes, on the other hand, have to be flipped and if you happen to flip too early, good luck with all that gooey nonsense flung all around you

Winner: Waffles

Round 2: Portions and Health

With breakfast being the most important meal of the day, some tend to get a little crazy about their health like how many calories it is and "that better only be a 4-inch pancake". Waffles do have a set size in the waffle maker, but can be put into only a 1/4, 1/2, or the whole size of the skillet. Pancakes take the fight to the waffles with the ability to be made into any size to fit any portion as one sees fit. TIEBREAKER! Calorie count is the tie breaker here. Normal waffles are about an average of 85 calories per ounce and pancakes take the lead at the last minute with only 64 calories per ounce.

Winner: Pancakes

Final Round: Unique Abilities

Waffles: They are equipped with topping traps. These blessed grooves in the waffle keep the syrup and other delectable toppings on top of the waffle and not spilling into any of the other breakfast additions on your plate. Waffles also come in the very popular Eggo variety which increases the ease of making. Pop it into the toaster or microwave and eat in a minute or less. Waffles have also started a beautiful relationship with chicken that everyone has come to love.

Pancakes: Known as flapjacks to many. Equipped with stacking capabilities. Nothing is more glorious than seeing a huge stack of pancakes on your plate being sacrificed to your belly for nourishment. If you can flip a pancake in a skillet with one hand you gain serious street cred and all the ladies/men will love you (for different reasons, of course). Pancakes are very accessible. They can be made in any regular skillet whereas waffles have to be made in a waffle maker.

This has been a great fight on both sides, but only one can be victorious! The winner is...


Waffles!!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
