For years several friends and I have said that we'd love to see what would happen if we stuck a pillsbury biscuit in a waffle iron. Fortunately, several things kept us from realizing this clearly ridiculous fantasy. Cheif among them: not owning a waffle iron.
But a friend's new move, and the target gift card burning a hole in my pocket, gave me just the excuse I needed to buy a waffle iron as a housewarming gift. And a lazy friday afternoon gave us just the excuse we needed to spend the afternoon testing out a few tapas recipes that we'd been thinking about.
But if it's not good to grocery shop on an empty stomach, it's even worse to cook on an empty stomach. None of the food would ever have made it to the table. So first, a snack. A waffle iron pressed, proscuitto filled snack.
A little spread of mustard on fresh bread...a few slices of proscuitto and manchengo cheese...a little drizzle of olive oil...and pressssssssss...... And 3 minutes later....crispy toasty goodness.
Why we didn't buy a waffle iron years ago, I'll never know. Actually, I do know. It's because we'd like to continue to fit into our pants. I guess we can always buy new pants...
