This past weekend I bought some bacon, and other pork products, from an organic farmer that has a stall every week at the Portsmouth Farmers' Market.
I decided to make breakfast on Sunday so I cooked up the bacon and made home-made waffles. I decided to use Alton Brown's recipe because he always has you weigh the flour instead of measuring it into a cup and I have a really cool kitchen scale just for that purpose. His recipe used buttermilk instead of regular, and melted unsalted butter rather than cooking oil but otherwise was pretty standard. The waffles came out really good and everyone liked them!
Last night I grilled steaks and asparagus for dinner. When we were done dinner I took a sauce pan out to the grill and made banana's foster for the first time. The Daughters all stood around and made appropriate ooo and ah sounds when I lit the rum and shook the pan to make it flare up.
It came out pretty good but I had forgotten to buy ice cream so we had to eat it with just whipped cream on top instead.
