Waffle My <3

Iheartwaffles

Waffles are great, Norwegian waffles are greater. Heart waffles are a tradition in my family, a Norwegian tradition brought out on special occasions for breakfast or dessert (don't all great foods fit these two categories?) . The waffles are thin and can be served like other waffles, with syrup and butter, but are best with a little butter and a lot of raspberry jam. A while back, my mom's heart waffler started leaving it's crunchy nonstick blackness on the waffles, and got tossed out in a fit of anti Teflon-eating fury. Finally a new heart waffler has entered our lives, and the joy of waffles anytime is again upon us!

"Ormsøy er til salgs! vi tenker a kjope den.
Va syntes du?"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Norge

081309 s'plainer: Ormsøy is a small island off of the larger island Flekkerøy off the South coast of Norway near Kristiansand. It is accessed by small water craft, and until the nineteen seventies was the home of my grandpa's family. He lived there at some point, his father grew up there in a small red house, and his father's father et. al.. Anyways, it's for sale, but we don't really know if that means part or all or what. The price we were told is accessible- queue dreams of re-establishing the family homeland. It is large enough for some farming, has easy access to abundant fish and has four small summer houses including the small red one (see above).
