This was supposed to be
a quirky little mid-winter holiday. I borrowed two waffle makers from my in-laws because I don't own any, and I've never made waffles before. The newer waffle iron worked great and I felt like a pro. The other one was the classic waffle issue: digging out tiny bits of sticking waffle with a chopstick. Not fun.
But
the ice cream! The star of the morning: it just didn't freeze in time, nor did the children eat any. I knew they were struggling with colds, but now I know how puny-sick they are. Genevieve informed me that she doesn't like vanilla. Ok. . . what?!
It was still fun, and we'll try again next year. First Saturday in February - mark your calendars!
It is a Saturday breakfast here at the cottage...waffles and ice cream - yum!

Margo, for Pete's sake - you should have mentioned it last night! It's too late for breakfast now - (sniff, sniff) not that I have any ice cream in the house, anyway, and the ice cream freezer isn't frozen, so I couldn't have made any.
ReplyDeleteBoohoo.
:D
Lisa, I know - I've had a busy week and I wasn't going to do it, but I changed my mind at the last minute for the sake of the silliness. You can make your own quirky holiday - let me know in advance and we'll join you again!
ReplyDeleteyes, I will mark our calenders! My mother used to do this when I had friends over for sleepovers--we stayed up giggling half he night, and in the morning we had waffles topped with ice cream. It was decadent and so fun! I still have her waffle maker and fully intend to do the same thing when my children have sleepovers.....
