Since our lovely bosses gave us Friday off in celebration of the new year, we've been home an extra day, which means an extra day of eating delicious, not-rushed meals. Especially of the breakfast variety.
On Friday and Saturday, we tried out the new waffle maker. We used the basic Krusteaz blue box waffle mix, and decided that it was very plain. Jeff has decided that next time we'll try adding our own stuff to the basic recipe like cinnamon and nutmeg and see how that turns out. But the real excitement was the waffle maker. It's super easy to use and cooks waffles in all of 3-4 minutes.
Today, Jeff made me french toast for breakfast. He's made this for me once before, but we didn't have any spices besides nutmeg, so it was a little so-so. But thanks to all baking supplies being on sale this time of year, we have since acquired cinnamon and vanilla extract. And when all three of those things are combined with eggs, milk and some bread, delicious things happen. It was so good, we ate the made-on-purpose-so-we-can-have-some-later leftovers right then.
Overall reaction: Cinnamon and nutmeg make a great combo.
