SPOILER ALERT—Don’t read this if you are a Grey’s Anatomy fan! McDreamy is DEAD. That’s right folks, the main character’s love interest for 10 years has officially croaked. I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, but Facebook told me about this monumental news, and I got sucked into reading people’s reactions on multiple sites. I can’t help myself, it’s just kind of funny. Of course if I actually watched the show I’m sure this would put me in a bad mood for a week, but since I don’t…it’s kind of funny. (Especially because his name is McDreamy.)
My sister Nikki is an author. She was telling me the other day that one of her agent’s interns was reading a draft of Nikki’s novel, and when something in the story didn’t go the way she anticipated, she almost threw her tablet across the room in disgust. How awesome is that?? Not that you’re making people feel disgusted, or in Shonda Rimes (creator of Grey’s) case, anger/sorrow, but that you’re making them FEEL something. I think it’s probably every writer’s dream to be able to reach their audience so viscerally. I’ll admit, I’m the same way. I put a lot of effort into the things I write on this blog, and I would be pretty bummed if I thought that you weren’t getting at least a chuckle every now and then.
RIP McDreamy, and a round of applause to Shonda, who wrote a story that made thousands of women cry into their ice cream this week. Shakespeare would be proud. In case you are a McDreamster (is there a name for Dreamy fans?) I have got a CURE ALL for you today! Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate, every crying woman’s dream. Can you believe these waffles? They are so good you guys. And so, so chocolatey. The strawberries add the perfect balance. Every time you think you’ve had too rich of a bite, you can pop in a strawberry and be ready for round 2. Have a glass of milk handy, it’s pretty much essential. Make this for Mother’s Day! I can’t think of anything more perfect to celebrate mom’s than giving them All The Chocolate.

Use a light-tasting olive oil. And be gentle folding in those egg whites! You want nice and fluffy waffles. More Mother’s Day breakfast ideas! Did you miss this Overnight Blueberry French Toast Casserole I posted earlier this week? So good!
