Les Gaufres Belges

This weekend we did a spur of the moment visit to Boston (fortified with lots of vitamins and hygienic measures, mind) to play with the nephews and help scare off the very persistent streptococcus that's taken up residence in Ben's throat. The weather was hardly healthy--chilly & damp, but we still managed a visit to Drumlin farm in Lincoln with Alex and Jonathan



and a large scale waffle-making project that provided treats (and meals, for those of us of the sweet-toothed persuasion.) Belgian waffles come in many different forms, but the kind we made were Gaufres Liegeoise. This means a sweet leavened waffle with chunky white sugar pearls in the batter that carmelize where they touch the waffle iron. Very tasty!





36 hours of the above activities did Jean-Cedric in.
