A Definite Do Again

The Gingerbread Waffles were a huge hit!
We really loved them. I think the secret ingredient is the fresh ground nutmeg. My friend sent me some from her trip to Grenada. Thanks Cheryl! I had used it before from the spice section in the grocery store and they came in a little glass bottle. Those were ready to grate. These that Cheryl sent were still inside the shell. I tried to grate them and realized I need to crack the shell first. The nutmeg smells so yummy when you grate it. I was in heaven. It reminded me of Rosalia, Christina Bambina's mom. She used fresh nutmeg in the white sauce when she made her out of this world Lasagna. I miss her yummy cooking!Of course getting breakfast in bed just isn't the same if you can't smell bacon frying!
Here you go, Mr. Mark.

    Definitely! We all loved the taste test we got! When Ella was done she asked, "Is there any more?!"
