Isn't waffle batter like pancake batter, just cooked all crispy in the waffle iron? You can have savoury pancakes. Like scones (biscuits). You can have them sweet, with jam and cream, or as dumplings or on top of a stew (cobbler? Is that what they call cobbler?)
Gumption is a very good product, you don't know what you're missing.

Yes, batter baked in waffle iron. I've never had savory pancakes, also a sweet or semi-sweet, but never savory, item. And biscuits are nothing like scones. I think scones are more dry? I've never had a scone that I recall. You've never had southern biscuits, have you?

Cobbler is a sweet dessert, made with fruit. A stew is a meat and vegetable dish, like a soup, but thicker. You can put biscuit/dumpling dough baked on top, yes, but it's not a cobbler. It's funny how the same words evoke different meanings in different places, isn't it?

Southern biscuits:

And with that, BOY, are we off topic, here! LOL! Fun conversation, though!

Oh, I'm going to rearrange my quilting room after I get this quilt finished. I had an idea that might make it better. And we're looking for tables to make into a drop-in sewing machine table, don't want to cut into our farm table I'm currently using.

Oh, they're delicious, but are usually made with a thinner pancake, what the french call crepes.

No, but I looked up the recipe, it's what we call scones.

Cobbler is a sweet dessert, made with fruit.

That's what I'd say, if asked what it is, but I've seen other references to the "scones on top of stew" recipes (I think in american sources, that's what made me think it is an american thing.

Bottom line, I think you can do pancakes, scones/biscuits as either sweet or savoury, so I believe Ducklady that waffles would "work" in a savoury dish, even though I haven't tried it (yet )
sorry for going off-topic

I've had crepes with sweet filling, not something I really like much as I recall. I think biscuits, at least true Southern biscuits, are generally fluffier and softer than scones. That's my impression anyway. But, we need to quit talking about food, ack! I am trying not to eat anything except meat and veggies for the most part at the moment. And I'm not a big meat fan or even veggie fan. I eat a lot of grains, generally, and I am trying to drop the last 20 lbs I gained when my thyroid went nuts on me, but it's not easy.

Quilts are not fattening! In fact, once years ago, I went to a doctor and had lost 13 lbs. He was very pleased. I said it was the quilting diet. He didn't get it. I had to explain that when I was quilting madly, I couldn't eat and handle food because I was handling fabric and my hands and brain were otherwise engaged.

hahahah good one. You should market that idea. Weight loss is big business, you could make a fortune.

I finished the center of the quilt and decided to make the change right now. See? I wasn't joking! Have to wait for some extra hands to move a heavy item and then, I'll continue. My quilting table is going on the complete opposite side of the room with the drafting table at the end of it, giving me more room to groove, as Rachel Ray would say.

I have been busy!
I got the rows done and am starting on the sashing.
Of course hubby wants a queen size. It may be OK since I am going to stitch in the ditch on it.

progress!!

The other fabrics I was going to put in were being a pain since the designs were not printed straight so there they sit.

 

[speckledhen]

Nice colors there! Should be really pretty when you're done.

Thanks. Its super simple for sure. A good beginner quilt and should be plenty big enough.

 

[speckledhen]

Ouch, my back is screaming! No quilting today, but the entire center of the quilt is done, at least. Will get back to it and see how this arrangement works. I can slide my machine further to the right now that the drafting/cutting table is not butted up against it perpendicular, but in a continuous line with it, so I don't need the second card table. The dining table's left side is more exposed and should be enough, along with the green card table on the left, to hold a large quilt.
I swear, my walls are not that bright yellow. This camera intensifies yellows and blues.
