Yes today I am literally waffling about waffles. I love a waffle, weeks ago I determined I would make some. Over a year ago I ordered a waffle iron, craving them and deciding I would make them, it hangs in the kitchen unused. So I looked up the recipe, shopped and bought the ingredients, including strawberries to top them with, thinking off chocolate sauce or maple syrup, there should be a jar of each languishing in the cupboards somewhere. I made a mental note to check that out.
Well the strawberries rotted, lingering in the fridge for too long, the waffles remained unmade. The squirty cream disappeared into my daughter, I suspect she drank it from the can. Now weeks later I am still planning to make my waffles. What is it that stops me? Well the effort involved obviously, although its one step up from pancakes, which are the easiest things to make. It always surprises me when people buy packs of pancake mix, you still add the milk and the same effort is needed as using flour and an egg, but to each their own.
Weeks later I sit and type this instead of getting on and making them, I need milk, cream and eggs again, how much I have wasted while expecting to get into the culinary mood. They will be expensive waffles. The thought of using the waffle iron excites me but the effort and mess put me off, I know it will be a real delicious treat, I hope the bananas are still fresh, I changed my fruit craving as strawberries dissolve so quickly.
Well stop thinking about it Chris and start doing it, motto of my life, no not today but soon, I can taste them now.
Yum Yum in anticipation.
