Guess what time I crawled out of bed this morning? It was almost 10:30… you see, we had a bit of a late night last night.
Our 3 hour flight from Arizona left around 9:20 pm and we landed around 12:30 am. As we stepped out into the icy blast of a minus 14 degree Celcius night, all we could do was look at each other, no words were spoken.
We grabbed a shuttle to get our car and as hubby was cleaning off the ice and snow, he scraped his hand on the ice. Ugly. Oh, and did I mention that I fell as I was leaving the airport? That was a tad embarrassing.
Anyway, we made it home safely and crawled into bed at 2:00 am – totally grateful for our big soft bed, comforter, and pillows.
It’s amazing what a good nights sleep will do, because we both woke up feeling pretty good about being home. The sun was shining, the snow was sparkling, and it was Sunday. Yay!
I made coffee, hubby made waffles, and in honour of all his hard work, I decided to post his recipe. They are delish! Hearty, crispy, and decadent.
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat waffle iron.
- Beat eggs in large bowl with hand beater until fluffy.
- Beat in flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt and vanilla.
- Lightly grease preheated waffle iron.
- Pour mix onto hot waffle iron, and cook until golden brown.
It says you can keep the batter covered in the fridge for up to one week, making sure to whisk well before using.

well, glad you made it home safely! even if you did look like southerners not accustomed to ice and snow. ;)
Yum! Hope you are ok from your fall.. Happy Sunday!
Welcome home! It’s always good to get safely home … even when there is a traumatic ‘climate change’! It sounds like your AZ trip was awesome, though.
Looks yummy! :)
Sounds like a yucky night but a fabulously simple morning. I have been on the hunt for a new waffle recipe…mine just don’t get crisp. Thanks for sharing! Hope everyone recovers from a rough night!
