Waffles: So Much Better For Dinner Than Breakfast

After a cooking catastrophe earlier this week, India and I opted for waffles for dinner. And they were delicious.  And since we don't buy syrup and the Royer's didn't have any, I made homemade syrup (Brad offered to make some syrup since he didn't have any - it never dawned on me that you could make syrup. Stop making fun of me).  I can't tell you what it tasted like because I'm not a syrup person, but it made India happy and that's all I needed.

I don't think I'll ever like cooking.  What turns me off is the mess it creates.  And then when it doesn't taste good, I've wasted money and time.

In other news, I nearly left Maya on someone's doorstep this week. She's cutting four teeth and is as temperamental as carnivore on a banana-and-green-leafy-stuff diet.  If she had acted like this before her 1 year guarantee expired, she'd a been put up for adoption in Russia.  I'm not one of those unconditional lovin' mothers. Lucky for me and Maya we've got Ammon to save us from each other at the end of the day. I love my husband.
