Do you like a little booze with your brunch? I know I sure do! Of course, you can have these Bourbon Pecan Waffles for breakfast without feeling guilty about your alcohol intake before noon, I just don't get up early enough on the weekends to do so. Wow... that really makes me sound like I have some kind of problem, doesn't it? I suppose it doesn't help my image when I pull up to the liquor store at 9:30am to find that it hasn't opened yet. Mind you, there was a man sitting in his car watching me as I was turned away from the locked door. The liquor store didn't open until 10am so I decided to pick up a few groceries next door.
Groceries purchased and placed in my car, I walked into the liquor store precisely at 10:01am to buy a bottle of bourbon. When I walked up to the counter I felt the need to tell the cashier that I required this for a recipe, but I think my explanation only made me look like I grasping for an excuse. I suppose it also didn't help that I was in sweatpants, a hoodie with a hole in the sleeve, and a baseball hat. And then of course I had to walk out of the store, and back past the gentleman sitting in his car, clutching my brown paper bag of booze. This did not look good, not good at all.
Regardless of the hour of day, what you're wearing, and who's sitting in their car watching you and probably passing judgement - go out and get that bottle of bourbon and make these waffles! They're worth the early morning boozehound perception.
