Beware the Dreaded Snapping Turtle! - Fall 2007

Word of the Day

I made waffles for breakfast this morning. NO! I did not make Eggo or Eggo-related waffles. I made, from scratch, waffles in my seldom used waffle maker. It took me a few minutes to actually find where I'd stored the waffle maker and dust if off, but I was good to go after that. I decided to keep the waffles warm in the warming drawer of my oven until I had enough to serve for breakfast. It was at this point that I found my missing cookie sheet. When I was making Christmas goodies, I'd noted that I was missing one of my cookie sheets. I now need to make apologies to MC Daughter who I thought may have "borrowed" it. Sorry sweetie! I have no idea who thought cookie sheets should be stored in the warming draw but that's another story. I don't use the warming drawer that often and it never occurred to me to look for the missing cookie sheet there. I suspect that it might have been HTP. Anyway, the lost was found and stored away with the other cookie sheets before I started the waffle making process. I finished half the waffles and started frying up the ham. Yummy! I've got enough waffles leftover from breakfast to serve tomorrow or the next day for breakfast...Eggo-style. The nice thing about making homemade waffles is that you can reheat any leftovers in the toaster.

Gypsy and I enjoyed cuddling up on the bed yesterday as I re-read a book or two from my collection. Actually, we enjoyed it so much that I think we'll do the same thing today. I wish I'd taken the opportunity this morning to sneak out and take a picture of Gypsy cuddled up in a sliver of sunshine with her duck/goose. Maybe tomorrow.
