I have to ask: why does it seem like it's difficult to buy a regular, family-size waffle maker? My wife and I had a small waffle maker we received for a wedding present (15 yrs ago) and, now with a family, wanted a larger one. Growing up, my mom had a four-waffle waffle iron. Not a dinky one-waffle waffle iron that my wife and I had. I eventually found one (a B&D at Lowe's), but it took months. We looked at a number of places, and only saw Belgian waffle makers or small ones. Belgian waffles are fine, but they're not what we wanted. So, are regular waffles in decline? Are American waffle tastes going Belgian? My wife and I were surprised at how difficult it was to find a family-size waffle iron. Has anyone else experienced this? --Mike

Whenever I do the grocery shopping (usually, it's buying odds n ends we're low on), I nearly always get the milk and other items that can spoil from the back. Granted, we go through chocolate milk rather quickly, but have tossed out white milk here and there. Guess I'm more sensitive because my youngest son seemed to be sensitive to even slightly spoiled milk (like a day of or one day past the date) when he was a toddler. -- Mike
