Early Present

Ever since I ate at a hotel breakfast bar where you could make your own Belgium waffles I've been lusting for a waffle iron like it of my own.

I let Santa know and he granted my wish early -- well, after we saw one at Costco for a reasonable price.

I thought I would have to wait until Christmas day to use it but Santa was eager to sample the waffles and so he gave me permission to open the box and prepare a meal of waffles.

With this waffle maker the batter is poured into the bottom griddle, the lid is closed and then . . .

the iron is flipped to make the top the bottom. It is this rotation that creates the most fluffy waffles ever.

I put strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream on mine. Yummy!
