Today marks the anniversary of the first approved waffle iron patent in the U.S., which was issued to American inventor Cornelius Swarthout in 1869, the National Day Calendar reports.
The day of remembrance has gone on to become a day for restaurants and commercial waffle makers to offer freebies and deals.
I had waffles with peaches and nuts for breakfast to celebrate Waffle Day!
Photo is mine.

@CarolDM I have two jars of peanut butter but I am scared of the taste! My brother has scared me as he did not like it!

Thank you, Cornelius! Loved you on Soul Train, oh, that was another Cornelius. 
I’ll be in a hotel this weekend, so I hope their waffle irons are available (the breakfast bar has been closed down in most places over the past year and a half).
