This waffly goodness is inspired from Park and Rec’s Galentines Day. Normally our hero Leslie Knope orders regular waffles with a TON of whipped cream. I just decided to up the ante and really dessert it out. I would hope Leslie would be proud. Now for a the most romantic story ever that makes The Notebook look like Saw V.
