Cooking
Under the tree, Alex found two new cookbooks. C is for Cooking and A Star Wars Cookbook.
You know, because he's our kid.
First thing he wanted to try, the Cheese Waffles from Sesame Street.
A fairly standard waffle recipe, but with the addition of cheese. Several option
are given, such as cheddar, but not my boy. No, Mr. Spend-My-College-Fund-On-Pricey-Ingredients couldn't be bothered with a basic cheddar; he wanted Gruyere.
As always, he had great fun scooping & dumping & mixing, which is kind of the point, yes?
A savory waffle, syrup was out of the question. Matt had his topped with peppery bacon & scrambled eggs. During the week, Alex had cheese & veggie-ham sandwiches, with left-over waffles in place of bread, for lunch.
We're cranking up the flavor for this month's Blog Party; it's time to Spice it Up!
Hope to see you there.

I guess I've always had an interest in food, and cooking. I just didn't realize it until I was in my teens, and practically had to beg my parents to let me make dinner. Unlike many of my food blogging friends, I don't have stories to share...
- Sourdough. Not Just For Dinner Anymore.
In addition to all the bread recipes in Breads from the La Brea Bakery, there's a bunch of "extras" which use the starter. My favorite is for the dog biscuit, if only for the description, in which she says that since it's made from all human-grade...
