Waffles

Just tried an older waffle maker I had stored in the basement to see how it worked. Mike and Erin were asking if we had an extra machine so Erin could make waffles for Mike. I also wrote out my fail safe recipe for her.  Yesterday we went to Huntsville to the Habitat Restore to buy some three ring binders for Harry to store his coins. He bought some plastic covers that hold the two inch cardboards so needed more cheap binders.(I also had to clean off some shelves so that the binders could be stored upright and nicely). Anyway Mike called to say they were on their way down to Toronto for the weekend and were going to drop in to see us - so instead we met them at the Tim Horton's on the highway in Huntsville and had lunch and a very nice visit. This is when the subject of waffles came up.
Another rainy day greeted us this morning. Undaunted though Harry left early for his garage sale expedition. I have my own list of To Do here at home. I made an interesting batch of pickles the other day - called Thousand Island. Have you tried these? Look similar to mustard pickle but a different taste of spices etc. I did not use all the ingredients the recipe called for and yet I still like the flavour and texture. Helped to use up some of the many cucumbers accumulating. It is also time to make another batch of ketchup as the tomatoes are multiplying fast haha.
I found a little pattern book at Restore yesterday on sewing little bags , purses etc and some patterns using applique, and quilting blocks as fabric. I may never get at it, but much of my pleasure is in reading and imagining. I have always admired the bags and little purses you made Pati, and I have some similar ones I've bought along the way.
Well, no time to procrastinate I guess, so back to my To Do list and the day. How are things there? Take care
