Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Food Storage Waffles

My beat-up copy of Betty Crocker's Cookbook provides my go-to recipe for waffles, and this recipe is adapted from that one.

Plug in your waffle iron.  In a bowl, combine:  2 T. whole egg powder, 2 c. white or wheat flour, 5 T. buttermilk powder or 1/4 c. non-instant powdered milk, 1 T. sugar, 2 t. baking powder plus 1 t. baking soda (if using the buttermilk powder) or 4 t. baking powder and no baking soda (if using non-instant powdered milk), 1/4 t. salt.  Stir until thoroughly mixed, then add 1/2 c. oil and 1-3/4 c. water.  Stir until nearly lump-free.  Pour a scant cup of batter onto waffle iron and cook until done.


Thankful thought:  Thanks for seasonal fruit, which is oh-so-yummy on waffles!

    Oh, YUMMIE!!!! Just looking at those waffles is letting me drool.....
    It's a good thing I don't have a waffle-iron, I would eat them every day and I would never fit in an airplane-seat!!! But strawberries I eat every day with yoghurt as my breakfast. They're yummy too.

    That looks divine! Believe it or not, I have only cooked waffles twice. I failed at both attempts, so I quit trying. ;)

Ten Things of Thankful: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...
