cold mornings and breakfast

dont you just love breakfast? lazy morning home-cooked breakfast? and if it includes bacon, dont you love it all the more? dont get me wrong, i am all for being mindful of what you put into your body, but, mmmmmm, i (heart) bacon. a lot.

for special, my frister makes us waffles. she makes the best. in the world. honest. there is nothing like a cool (or cold and snowy) morning walking into the kitchen and smelling bacon, waffles and brewing coffee. she usually serves the waffles with fresh-frozen mashed strawberries, fresh orange juice, butter, syrup and whipped cream. i must mention the bacon is usually piled so high on the plate it looks as if it will fall off at any moment, but, the second the plate hits the table, its gone, as we fight each other for these crsip strips of goodness.

during the holidays we can expect to be served the waffles, especially if my niece is home from college or any of the kids are home for a visit. she is really good about that. its a fun, high calorie, delightful breakfast shared with family and better than anything you can get at any restaurant.

today, the weather took a turn for winter and i am anticipating our first waffle morning of fall/winter 2008-09, which should happen any day now. as much as i detest this weather, i do love the waffle mornings we share. yummmmmmm, i (heart) bacon and i (heart) frister waffles! thanks frister for what you do for us. (i heart you too)
