...My PA in-laws have a post-Thanksgiving tradition of doing PA-style turkey and waffles for breakfast the morning after. Which is fine.
But I have added a specific innovation: I take a scoop of leftover stuffing, stir an egg into it, and put that in the waffle maker. Voila! STUFFING WAFFLES!

...It's fine for what it is, but it's a very different beast. The waffle squares are great because they hold the gravy in a very satisfying fashion. But it's basically like a hot open faced turkey sandwiches, but with waffles instead of bread...

I mean, hypothetically, Mexico could be on on that list if Kenia López Rabadán has converso heritage (she IS from Veracruz). They don't have a parliament, so President of the Chamber of Deputies is pretty much as close as you're going to get to a Prime Minister. Far from a slam-dunk. But still...

It is possible to define a larger system F' that contains the whole of F plus GF as an additional axiom. This will not result in a complete system, because Gödel's theorem will also apply to F', and thus F' also cannot be complete. In this case, GF is indeed a theorem in F', because it is an axiom.
