This was sent to me by a cousin, and I felt I had to share it with you, Beautiful People.
Alegedly, First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy made really good waffles. I say “allegedly” not because the waffles attributed to her in various cookbooks aren’t objectively good; they’re actually wonderfully airy and crisp, thanks to an innovative technique involving whipped egg whites and baking powder. But did she ever actually cook or consume the waffles? Does it matter? Didn’t she do enough for her country, between being the exceptionally tolerant wife of a blatantly randy president, the widowed mother of small children expected to bear up beautifully in public after her husband was murdered before her eyes, a book editor, an arts preservationist, and a fashion deity for the ages? Nah, apparently in addition to all that, Jackie Kennedy had to make a bitchin’ breakfast. Such is the lot of a FLOTUS—and a POTUS, too.

My first reaction to your title was “Jackie Kennedy cooks?!” LOL No matter but I’ve made those before and they are exceptional and especially great as Belgian Waffles or regular waffles. Yum!!!

I am not sure whether she actually cooked or pretended to cook, in a pretty apron, for PR. Regardless, they are yummy!

I forgot to add that in that picture, she truly was beautiful and so young, though at the time I didn’t think so. Sigh, now I’m practically twice that age. Time flies

I like that she made a square jaw beautiful. Not your typical oval face.

My birth name is Kennedy and I was born in 1960 so you can imagine, with a mother whose initial is also J that Jackie O as she became was very present in my life. I think of her as iconic – of course she was extremely priviliged but boy did she have grace and dignity. Something we can all learn from. Irrespective of whether she could press a waffle of greatness, I will always be grateful for her lead (and her ability to wear great sunnies … a lesson I have graciously taken forward in my life 😉 🕶)

You obviously have very special ties to her, dear Osyth, and I am certain that you truly did learn many things from her, in addition to fashion style tips.

Thank you, Dolly – that means a lot. I didn’t consciously learn but I know she is an influence and a good one. Grace and decency are not feted enough in our times. I am thinking of running a series on dull words that we dont give enough credence to like ‘nice’ and ‘decent’ and many others. I think it is time we resurrected them and took them to heart as those like Jackie did 🙂

I could not agree more! Yesterday, in team presentations, two students used the “F” word. I was scandalized, to say the least. I looked around me saw just a few more shocked faces, those of older ladies from Haiti. Everyone else just ate it, as if it has become a cultural norm, even for future teachers. Regrettably, it’s the concept of being “nice” and “decent,” rather than the adjectives, that has gone out of style.
