Waffle House

Matt and I decided to start a tradition here at our church: once a month we are going to have 10 people over for waffles after church. Today was the inaugeral Kodatt Waffle House Brunch! We have wanted to have some sort of regular meal where we could host people in a rather casual manner. What inspired the waffle idea is our waffle maker--by far the nicest kitchen item we received for our wedding (it retails at Williams Sonoma for $100). For the first five years of our marriage we have pulled out this pricey item maybe 4 times total. A couple of weeks ago we were talking about this unused machine and decided we should make it earn its keep here. So dusting it off, heating it up, and setting the table with all the toppings, we were off... having our pastor and his family of 8 over for a carb-overloaded feast. So maybe we made too much batter and the eggs were a little tough and the bacon took a while and made a mess--but all in all, this is a Kodatt tradition from this day forward. These are some pictures snapped from the day (aren't I looking marmish in my apron?)--I meant to snap some shots of the feast but the feast itself took all my attention.

I've had your waffles---they were yummy!!!! Sounds like a real winner idea to me. What a beautiful picture of your family. Alina, you are quite beautiful as usual in your apron and Matt, your face reminds me of the first Covenant College (orange shirt) picture you ever had taken.(Very handsome)! Enjoy life, enjoy the moments, they make up a happy lifetime.Ya'll are loved! You, too, Kellar!

Great idea! Actually, I thought the apron was part of a cute shirt. We need to use our waffle maker more, too...It's kinda like cake for breakfast. Gotta love that.

I do remember making it...I just didn't want to boast. You look great in it. I have no idea when Joe will have the pictures ready. Hopefully soon!

What a great new tradition! I hope tomorrow will be a grand success! Our waffle maker (also by W/S) is seldom used here, too. I must admit, though, that I am not as concious about my tidiness because I do not even own an apron! You look as adorable as ever and I wish I were there to give you a huge hug, apron and all! You are in my prayers as always!

The least you could do, since I introduced you two to each other all those years ago, is hook a sister up with some waffles.
Well...it's been three years, so it's probably time that I graced you with my presence. (I hate it that Matt's always right about that) I'm not certain that any waffle is good enough to ellicit flying from Jacksonville, Fl to California, but we'll see.

God Bless
