the waffle man… September 24, 2008
in portland is pure, delectable genius. i’m pretty sure his waffles are what waffles in heaven will taste like.
they are bigger than the standard waffle and come with a variety of toppings. nutella, ham and cheese, etc. my favorite is sweet cream and butter, so simple, so good. he serves them folded in half, so when i get mine i always open it just a little to peak inside. the pools of butter swirling with the sweet cream smell amazing and my waffle is always gone in 2 minutes flat.
the waffle man knows his stuff, so make sure you make a pit stop to see him the next time you are in portland. eat an extra one for me!
Falling into quiet September 5, 2008
after a hectic, busy, crazy, fast-paced, (i love using the thesaurus) summer, i am slowly tearing down the busy blocks of my life so i can reorganize, re-structure and re-stack them. i am setting aside most of those busy blocks to be picked up again later, or maybe never. my goal for the next few months is to focus on the most important: God, family. period. that’s it. so whatever i do, whatever blocks i chose to build with, must by foundational to said items.
it feels good and right to be doing this. it’s good to bow out every now and then.
and now for the peaches… September 5, 2008
i spent most of the day yesterday making apple pies and apple sauce with the 20 lbs of apples we got at green bluff. so today is peach day.
i think i’ll make some peach pies, peach cobbler, peach fried pies, and freeze the rest for future use. i love stocking my freezer. it makes me feel so Little House on the Prairie-ish, like i’m stocking up for the winter, ready for anything that happens.
