| A stroopwafel is a waffle made from two thin layers of baked batter with a caramel-like syrup filling in the middle.[1][2]
The stiff batter for the waffles is made from flour, butter, brown sugar, yeast, milk, and eggs. Medium sized balls of batter are put on the waffle iron. When the waffle is baked, and while it is still warm, it is cut into two halfs. The warm filling, made from syrup, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon, is spread in between the waffle halfs, which glues them together

| Improvisation is the practice of acting, singing, talking and reacting, of making and creating, in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's immediate environment.
This can result in the invention of new thought patterns, new practices, new structures or symbols, and/or new ways to act. This invention cycle occurs most effectively when the practitioner has a thorough intuitive and/or technical understanding of the necessary skills and concerns within the improvised domain.
Every conversation you have with someone is improvised, every time you play a sport like basketball (the most famous sport associated with jazz and improvisation) or indeed, play the piano you improvise.
A recent NPR interview talks about the link between improvisation and increased creative activity in the brain. While someone like the late great Miles Davis or Bill Evans let loose on their respective instruments they were "in the zone" as we call it, but in reality their brains fell into a kind of dreamlike state that allowed their creativity to flow.
Here's the interview, it is fairly enlightening.

| Balrogs are tall, menacing humanoid beings, having control of both fire and shadow. In various writings they are consistently armed with fiery whips of many thongs.
Balrogs induce great terror in friends and foes alike and can shroud themselves in darkness and shadow. In Tolkien's final conception, they can only be defeated by some living person or thing of equal power. | | |
