The About page and the front page of a blog only tell you so much. Really, it's just the last four or five things the author was thinking about -- a snapshot of a few moments in time. With nominations for the Kitchn's Homie Awards under way, this may be the first time you're reading the DailyWaffle, so hi, and thanks for stopping by. So what's the story here?  The DailyWaffle is a not-so daily (more like twice a week) blog focused on modern home cooking, sharing seasonal discoveries and food you’d really make and eat. And that's important.  I'm a home cook and I work a full-time job so I'm aiming for are dishes and recipes  that are accessible and appealing to the home cook. As a consumer of food and food writing, I’m not interested in retreads of basic recipes you’ve seen on Pinterest a thousand times already -- been there, done that, right?  Let's update some of those old favorites.  Let’s use ingredients in a way you might not expect.  That caramel at the top? Made with soy sauce and sugar.  I wouldn't call this an Asian food blog by any stretch, but you'll see a lot of what I share is influenced by my half-Japanese heritage -- it's a mix of American standards with Asian flavors thrown in.
