Question of the Week

Pancakes or waffles?

Pancakes. They’re simple, dependable, and don’t require specialized equipment or a PhD in batter geometry. Waffles always feel like overachievers, showing off with their little pockets. I just want breakfast, not a grid of expectations.

Russell Givens, 67, former vending machine route efficiency analyst

Waffles. They hold more syrup, which is the whole point. Pancakes just let it run off the sides like they’re trying to be healthy. I like a breakfast that knows its purpose and sticks to it.

Sheila Treadwell, 43, freelance neighborhood newsletter fact checker

Allegedly whisking from 9 Repost Terrace, Savannah, GA

Both, depending on the mood. Pancakes for comfort, waffles for commitment. If you make me choose, it means you don’t understand me. Or breakfast. Or the complexities of modern life.

A cheerful parade to remember 1969 set against a bright white background with pastel confetti falling. A silvery Apollo lunar-module float rolls by, flanked by fringe-vested marchers tossing lavender love beads. A Mets-cap marching band in faded denim carries a banner with a heart, peace sign, and baseball symbol. Nearby, a creamy fondue pot on a pedestal wears a golden tiara. Children on the curb wave tiny shag-carpet swatches in celebration of the groovy year.
