"vintage waffle makers" news and stories

Yesterday morning, I woke up with a waffle craving that could not be ignored. When I was fully awake, I stumbled to the kitchen and started the waffle process. Unearthing one of the three waffle irons I own (I realize that this might sound excessive, but I have a thing for vintage waffle makers and so buy them whenever I see them in thrift stores for less than $5) from my front hall closet, I plugged it in and whipped up some batter. The waffles came out nutty and golden and were the perfect foil for pools of maple syrup (my boyfriend) or apricot jam and yogurt (me).

Happily fed, I settled down in front of my computer and started to read feeds. Almost immediately, I came upon this post, written by some friends about the waffle party they recently had (waffles for everyone!) and was reminded that waffles don't have to be just for breakfast. I actually think that a waffle party is a great way to get together with friends and have some fun that doesn't require a ton of money or too much in-depth cooking. Once you get the hang of your waffle iron, it's actually pretty darn easy. They included the two recipes they used at their party in the post. The first is Alton Brown's basic waffle recipe and the second is a vegan chocolate waffle recipe from the Urban Vegan. I think I see more waffles in my future.
