Seriously -- who doesn't like waffles? Like bacon and cookies, waffles easily rank among world's best things. And I, being the lucky bride that I am, was, well, lucky enough to get what I now believe is the best waffle iron ever. At least as good as I'll ever need. Do you see those perfect square indents? The even browning? How the batter is all but gone after feeding Eric, his brother Doug, and me? Thank you to my parents, the bringers of All-Clad 4-slice Belgian Waffle Iron!
I was even thinking clearly enough before we went to bed to prep the waffle batter. Thanks once again goes to the ever-handy Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook, that red gingham bastion of reliability.
