Last week, Mom and Dad brought us a waffle iron. Not just any waffle iron, but the avocado green waffle
iron of my childhood…remember the 70′s? Every appliance was either Harvest Gold or Avocado Green. I was amazed to discover that it still works after nearly 35 years!
Galahad is ecstatic! At the insistence of his brothers and sisters, he’s up every morning, mixing and cooking waffles. I have to admit, his waffles are much better than mine – crispier, with a light and fluffy texture that can’t be beat.
It’s delightful to have the help in the kitchen…he has an army of sous chefs de cuisine who are more than willing to assist in the process.
And so I’m off to eat waffles…
BTW, here’s a really great recipe for waffles, found at this website.

I am a traditional Catholic homeschooling mother of 9 children, married for 30 years to the most patient and sainted man. As converts to Catholicism in 1991, our family has only recently discovered the beauty and full expression of our beliefs in the timeless liturgy of antiquity, the Extraordinary Form also commonly referred to as the Traditional Latin Mass. An avid knitter, I also enjoy gardening, reading and immersing myself in the everyday graces of my vocation.

I love it!! How fun for your children!
I must say, I prefer the Avocado Green to the Harvest Gold. My two kitchen appliances (Range and Oven) are BOTH Harvest Gold, and after 8 years of hoping to someday replace them, I am definitely sick of the color.
However, I recently bought some new dishes, and open bringing them home realized that some of them were the exact same color as my oven and range. They are a combination of 4 different colors: Avocado Green, Harvest Gold, Burgundy and Off White, so I guess the colors are coming back into style!
When we bought our last house in Charlotte, NC, the whole darn house was harvest gold and avocado green (the kitchen cabinets were stained dark walnut, the walls were green and the floor harvest gold).
It’s nice when kids learn to cook at an early age. My mother didn’t allow us in the kitchen (she was a single working mom and the kitchen was her after-work refuge) and I had to learn everything after I got married.
My 9 year-old is in the kitchen making chocolate drop cookies right now!
I just noticed: I have the same calender hanging up in my kitchen!
