Long ago I gave up trying to stay awake until midnight on New Years Eve. What I look forward to is New Years morning – and that means waffles for breakfast! Personally, I can’t think of anything better. Throw in lots of bacon, fresh cut fruit, a pot of Earl Grey tea, and all is well with my world. What better way to usher in the New Year? Time to start a new tradition, I say.Waffles
