I was astonished to be getting local strawberries here before May 15, and I think they are now petering out. I have eaten quart after quart from the little grocery store in the next town that stocks great local produce. My new special treat: a fresh local strawberry dipped in Nutella.<br /><br />Waffles are wonderful too, and several years ago, at the downtown farmer's market in York, Pennsylvania (which you would love, in a wonderful 19th century brick building), I found a waffle iron exactly like the one we had growing up. Makes great grilled cheese or grilled turkey sandwiches too, when you flip the plate over to the flat side. I also have an antique waffle iron I bought from a barn in Vermont long ago. I don't know how old it is, but I would say 1930s--it looks very deco. It still works too! I'll bet yours will count as an antique, and someone will want it.<br /><br />We did not have waffles this weekend, but we had them for Mother's Day, baked by J1, who has learned well from his father, the master waffle maker. They had forgotten to bring their waffle maker that weekend, so had to make do with the Belgian one that Mother had found at the thrift store. J1 was quite dismissive about Belgian waffles, which he considers to have the wrong proportions (the indentations are too deep). He and his dad produced some tasty ones anyway, which we ate with butter and syrup, not strawberries--we didn't have the good local ones that day. <br /><br />I think J2 would have liked them with strawberries, especially if we added whipped cream. Right now, whipped cream is just about his favorite food in the world. He dreams of having a whole pint of whipped cream all to himself. I remember dreaming that at about his age. Now I'm in the position to have a whole pint of whipped cream if I want, but I never have. You know the saying "Youth is wasted on the young." The young probably suspect that adulthood is wasted on the grown-ups.Next sister downnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36460660.post-47112137332382092772010-05-31T04:36:15.587-07:002010-05-31T04:36:15.587-07:00Amazing waffles!!

Waffles are a firm favourite in this house and we have one of those electric waffle makers in the shape of a heart. I bought The Lovely Wife a multi purpose grill/waffle/toaster but she prefers the single purpose waffle maker. I am SO impressed with your DIY work too.

We haven't gotten one yet, simply because they <i>are</i> a single-task item (or, they come with a sandwich press, as well, cost even more, and get poor reviews).<br /><br />Love the pics of the renovation!David T.
