The Chef's Comments:
"As for other things, though, breaksfast this morning was delicious.
I don't usually bothe with breakfast, except maybe to grab something
that is laying around already, but ever since I remembered that we had
gotten a waffle-maker as a wedding gift, I've been firing it up on the
weekends. Check out what I made this morning - it was SO good!" -
