Okay, It's
slightly early for Christmas, but we had various family members passing though who weren't actually going to be here for the big day. It was bit of a spontaneous (read "poorly planned") idea, and so it was quite a ride trying to get everybody here before they scattered off to their various destinations.
I decided to try my hand at Belgian Waffles, and after putting out a desperate plea on Facebook, I was able to find a neighbor kind enough to let me bother her at bedtime to come borrow the waffle iron.
I whipped up a batch last night after the kids were in bed so I could be sure I wasn't setting myself up for a massive failure. Luckily
the recipe was not only incredibly delicious, but easy enough that I didn't screw it up, even under the spontaneous circumstances I put myself under.
Because it was snowy this morning, I woke up later than usual (because I'm too lazy for an alarm clock, even when I have morning plans) and skid into Walmart with my peacock wild bedhead for some last minute ingredients.
I served them alongside bacon and cubed hash browns (which I had sliced and boiled the night before) and topped off with strawberries, whipped cream (from a can, because it's more fun that way!), and syrup. We also had juice and a hot chocolate bar.
It was a big hit, and I'm glad to say everyone went back for seconds and/or a plate for the road.
My sexy man was an amazing help in getting everything ready this morning, and I wouldn't have been able to pull it off without him. Plus, I think he might let me pick up my very own Belgian Waffle iron now.
