Waffles

He says:

  For Abby's birthday this year, I was waffling between ideas, trying to iron out exactly what to get her. 

  Finally I came up with the perfect gift: a waffle iron. Abby has been craving waffles for weeks every day for all of time, so we made them right away.  Since it was a special day, we fancied them up a bit: Abby had hers with a strawberry puree that I whipped up, and I topped mine with a festive cranberry orange sauce.

Fancy toppings

   Since then, we have had already had waffles several times.  Pancakes aren't even been mentioned in this house--except as a joke, and it couldn't be batter.
