It is Monday and I am off today. My cat is situated perfectly on my purse right now but he keeps falling off! He is watching me type this. I just ran down to the nice Rural King (I say that because the others I have been to do not compare to this one) and bought grit and oyster shells. I am wanting to go over to my papaw's later and make this really neat bottle dispenser from Lisa's blog Fresh Eggs Daily. I think it is really nifty and spill-proof!
Yesterday I went to my cousin's house and was there all day. We ate lots of foods! Breakfast at 10:30 then mini chocolate chip waffles later and finally salmon on the grill with scalloped potatoes and a small orange-fennel spinach salad that my aunt mixed up. So for Fanny's foot update, I brought her in the bathroom yesterday morning and dug around a little and discovered it was a scab with some hardened infection maybe I'm not really sure what it was but it didn't look like bumble foot. I put some hydrogen peroxide on it and vetericyn and wrapped it just so it doesn't get anything in there and get infected. It was a relief that it wasn't anything major. The chickens are still loving their special feed and I love it too knowing that it is really beneficial to them and also tasty!
So here is the special waffle recipe my cousin and I made yesterday. We made a double batch and just about burned the last two waffles because we got distracted! :)
This recipe is from Martha Stewart and we added vanilla and the mini chocolate chips!
Buttermilk Waffles
2 cups flour
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup mini chocolate chips
2 cups lowfat buttermilk
1 stick melted butter
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
Whisk the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk the wet in a large bowl. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and gently fold until all mixed together. Heat your waffle iron and add about a cupful of batter for each waffle!
