These chili-covered cornmeal waffles seem like the kind of meal you worked really hard on, even though they take no effort at all. Sexy Nerd is certainly impressed whenever he comes home to this dinner. *Snicker* The superstar of this meal is the cornmeal waffle, so feel free to use canned chili if you're crunched for time lazy.
