Snapshot from a few days ago, cooked a big stack of waffles in my little outdoor micro kitchen.
Never thought of getting a waffle maker, this just got dropped off on top of my little free library a while back (not something I encourage — and actually i have had signs up asking ppl to please only drop off books please, and ONLY on the shelves — but inevitably items other than books get dropped off there), in a boxed set with a book on how to make waffles! I’ve been having a lot of fun.
I wasn’t going to keep the fancy boxed set at first, I was going to take it to the church as a donation — but then I realized it could help me gain some additional cooking skills that I could share w the community. I’ve learned and practiced and improvised all sorts of fun variations on waffle mix.
And sure enough, the other morning I got to cook a stack of waffles for a hungry passer-by!
Now that I’ve ramped up my skills, I may purchase a larger waffle maker in order to serve the community better, and pass the cute little single waffle maker on to someone who needs it. And will add the book to the little free library shelves. It was a great book for getting started!
PS. I have been unintentionally receiving a lot of lentils and other beans from the food donation industrial complex waste stream (way more than i and my household can ever eat), so those fabulous protein units will be going to make more high protein waffles to nourish the community. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
