I have always loved waffles. I think they’re the perfect sweet. There is nothing better than a crispy warm waffle with some whipped cream and berries and I am not taking arguments. We frankly don’t give them anywhere enough screen time and i'm disappointed in us all. Do yourself a favor and buy a waffle maker.
HOLY SHIT are these things good. I was recently in Barcelona and had an insanely delicious lunch at Quimet & Quiment. After the meal we asked for espresso. They served the espresso with this perfect cookie…. Or crepe technically. So light, so crunchy, perfectly sweet and buttery. It is everything I want and more in a post-meal espresso companion.
I admittedly have a lot of pet peeves, but leading the pack is online recipes of any stripe. Food blog, bon apetit post, tiktok caption…they're all a nightmare, and I hate them. I ✨hate✨ them!!! Who wants to click out of a half dozen pop up ads with messy hands and stuff going on the stove? Who is that experience for?? Especially when nearly every recipe you could ever hope to need or imagine already exists in libraries and thrift stores (both of which offer both cookbooks and food magazines!). that being said… I’m not above referencing Smitten Kitchen or Sally’s or Modern Proper. But i’ve taken to physically writing down those recipes ahead of time, and it’s amazing how much it improves the cooking/baking experience both in terms of easy reference and also in the way it helps me mentally think through the process. I recommend physical recipes!!!
every once in a while I like to go rogue at the grocery store just to remind myself that I am an adult with free will. Yesterday I did this at my neighborhood Piggly Wiggly and ended up copping some garlic bread from the freezer aisle. It’s soooo impractical (I live by myself and these are really not meant to be consumed a slice at a time) and is a crazy expensive way to make a very cheap snack but DAMN is it good. I Recommend This Item 🌟
one thing about me is I am NOT a morning person. Decided to mitigate that my introducing something into my morning that I look forward to every day: bringing my coffee into bed with a book (a PI.FYI book club read that I’m about 2 months behind on atm) and starting my day with a little quiet, daylit moment.
