A break from quilting . . .

I figured that having three quilts finished, I deserved a treat. Afterall, wouldn't you say that sewing burns off more calories than, say, jogging? Okay, leave me with my wishful thinking!

Anyway, for my husband's birthday weekend, we indulged in a favorite recipe we haven't had in years - Rice Waffles! Although this might sound odd, the addition of cooked rice to the waffle batter makes for a great, filling, waffle . . . and the melting butter and real maple syrup didn't hurt, either!

It is a simple recipe. You make your favorite waffle batter and add a half cup of cooked rice to the batter and proceed as usual. Although most any rice works well, we discovered that Jasmine Rice, with it's aromatic smell and taste, works the best.

We had a few days of rainy, cool weather in sunny California so it was fun to have a cozy breakfast without breaking a sweat!
