Thursday

Morning peace, tranquility and a good heavy waffle iron


Fresh coffee and a a golden sunrise. By the window watching the delicate light illuminate each dew on each blade of grass, slowly bringing life to the darkest before dawn. The distant crow of an overzealous rooster. Reminiscing. Absorbing the tranquility. The calm before the chaos of today's activities. Savoring the isolation from the world. 'Everything but the girl' crooning softly in the background, like in a dream. Fresh strawberries were delivered yesterday. And the cranberries were made into delicious sweet savory jam spiced with cinnamon.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks
1 3/4 cups milk
1/2 cup canola oil
2 egg whites

Procedure
1. In a medium mixing bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center.
2. In another bowl beat egg yolks slightly. Stir in milk and oil.
3. Add egg yolk mixture all at once to the dry mixture. Stir just till moistened (should be lumpy).
4. In a small bowl beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight up).
5. Gently fold egg whites into flour and egg yolk mixture, leaving a few fluffs of egg white, Do not overmix.
6. Spoon waffle batter into your waffle iron, making sure not to overfill it.
7. Serve with real maple syrup and unsalted butter.
Would it be too much to aks to just have this on the couch?
