The Waffle King
an excerpt

The premise: mid 30s single male living with another mid 30s thrice divorced male in a southern town (think somewhere along the buckle of the Bible Belt) where a college is located. He awakens one day and has the urge to make waffles! Well, his grandmother recently passed and he acquired the family cookbook with Grandma's special recipe. So, he makes the usual trip to the grocery store and then decides to throw a waffle party - since the local college football team is waffling, it seems like a good theme. All sounds copacetic, right? uh uh!

I had once heard that you cannot purchase a waffle iron unless you get it as a gift for a wedding, or engagement; and therefore, you cannot purchase one unless it is for one of those aforementioned reasons. Yes, I am basing my whole tale on some Southern adage concerning waffle irons.

But, once you throw in the thrice divorced roommate that has fought (and lost) for the waffle irons in his previous marriages and all of the shenanigans that happen as the protagonist tries to purchase a waffle iron in this southern town... it is a formula for a lot of fun.
