Waffles From Afar
Two of the extravagant gifts Vicky brought us from Germany are a heart-shaped waffle iron & cookbook! After doing extensive research online and talking to salespersons on the phone, we determined that the waffle iron needed a step-down power converter which, unfortunately, cost $59.95, plus $30 shipping and weighed 16 pounds. This led to a simple math lesson – pay $90 for a ‘bowling ball’', or order the (almost) same waffle iron from Amazon for $29 and be bowling ball free. Together we opted for the latter. THEN we were able to do some sweet breakfast cooking!
Of course, we used the waffle recipe in her cookbook! In comparison, the German waffles are more thin & sweet than our American wintercreek version. We LOVED them!
