It's mononym in America, and that means it's time for waffles in the GoTranscript Test Kitchen. Really want the best waffles you have to go to Leslie Noakes favorite place JJ is Dinah. Sadly due to the COVID shut downs, the real jjs diner, four and 20 restaurant in Van Nuys, California has shut its doors forever. Ironically, the one thing they never had on their menu was waffles. lattes, restaurants are closing around the world so we here at GoTranscript have decided to fill the void by providing recipes for you to practice on. Maybe you'd like a little beef Bergen young with the side order of rum soaked raisins. That was my grandpa's favorite. His theory was that if the beef didn't turn out, okay, at least the rum would take away the memory Nowadays if you want to travel you can, but you have to be really careful. I myself am traveling from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona this week. I know I'm going to spend most of my time holed up in my hotel room. The fitness center is closed in the pool hours are limited. 

Speaker 2:

So I won't be getting any exercise outside. It's okay though. It's 115 degrees in the shade in Phoenix right now. So I'm happy to bask in the air conditioning and work on GoTranscript jobs. air conditioning is a modern day Mayor mar valina I'm sure I sure couldn't survive without it. Paradoxically, when I'm home I'm the one turning the AC down while my hubby turns it up. Or is it the other way around? It's just that I'm usually freeze and when he's burning up and vice versa. Maybe that's just a normal male female thing. I don't know. Maybe somebody GoTranscript Intel me. I do know that staying in a hotel these days is a whole different experience. If I didn't have my GoTranscript work to distract me, I'd be bored out of my skull. As I said before, no fitness center, no pool. Oh, and did I mention there's also no continental breakfast? Crazy. That's where you find the good waffles at those hotel continental breakfast bars where you make them yourself. Of course, those hotel waffle makers are no one because if you forget to turn them over, a loud buzzing noise alerts everyone within a three mile radius, and my waffles always get burned. I wish someone at GoTranscript would provide me with a better recipe. Oh, hang on. Let me consult my aunt Myrtles cookbook. One of my favorites is her GoTranscript raised how many waffles you add one cup of cold cook tamani two to two cups of scalded milk in which one half a yeast cake has been dissolved one day tablespoon of butter melted, a pinch of salt, one tablespoon of sugar, and two cups of flour mixed thoroughly and set to rise overnight. In the morning you had two eggs beaten separately folding in the stiffly beaten whites last bacon a very hot and well greased waffle iron. As my Myrtle GoTranscript editor like to joke, if you can't raise harmony on Earth, at least raise some harmony for breakfast.
