Waffles and Windows

Another week passed and I think it is safe to say winter is here to stay.  I reccomend a second or third cup of coffee and something that will stick to your bones for breakfast because our high for the day is only 13 degrees.  Currently, TWC says it is 1 degree and feeling more like 13 below zero, I believe it!!! This will surely make for a cold day sorting bottles, but at least the sun is shining.

The Energy Club made another dozen windows yesterday and better yet, there were no mistakes and they all fit!  A pastrami sandwich power lunch kept us going until 3:30.  On Monday, I am hosting a window building workshop at the Town Hall as part of a day of service for AmeriCorps members.  We will be making 15 windows for the Union Church so if any of the readers are locals, stop in between 9 and 12 to learn how to make windows. 

So the waffles... every time I open my freezer I am looking at some old bananas waiting to be used in bread or cookies or waffles.  ha.  I had found an oatmeal waffle recipe a few weeks ago and loved 'em.  Never would have thought to make waffles with oatmeal before.  Today, I had used one of those bananas and made oatmeal-raisin-banana-nut waffles.  Yea, tongue twister, I know. 

• Combine the following and set aside:
• 1 1/2 C of flour
• 1 C of oatmeal
• 1 Tbsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and nutmeg (or more)
• In another bowl, mix together:
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 C of milk
• 4 Tbsp of melted butter
• 2 Tbsp of brown sugar
• Pour dry mix into the egg/milk mixture.  After combined, add:
• raisins
• 1 mashed banana
• walnuts
• The best part about these is that you don't need to put anything on them, but if you must... I recommend some jam. Enjoy!

'til next time
