So Matt is having 2-4 bowel movements a day instead of 6-8. They are still runny but not as bad and while 1-2 require a wardrobe change, overall it is much better.
So now to my waffle iron saga. I love waffles. Especially made with bisquick mix and Jay loves them as well when I add some chocolate chips so of course that entails keeping chips on hand for when I get in my waffle mood. So part of the medfast diet is this pancake mix which can be made into waffles. So of course I am making some waffles like a mad women lately. So a few days ago my waffle iron knob broke. This waffle iron was a wedding present and replaced an awesome waffle iron I got from my grandmother when I moved to okinawa. It was a good waffle iron, made really crispy waffles just like I love! So I was really upset about my waffle iron knob breaking and I tried for 2 days to get it fixed but in many ways the waffle iron was just ruined so I decided to get a new one. So I ran to Walmart b/c it is closer and no waffle irons are there...ugh, so I drive to Target and they have this super duper expensive Belgian waffle iron and then this cheap 10 dollar one. So I bought the 10 dollar one and what a mistake. It didn't heat up, it was too big and the little packet of pancake mix wasn't enough to fill up the iron so it didn't cook it thoroughly...and let me tell you undercooked diet waffles are not good.
So what to do...so I went on-line for target and read reviews on waffle irons and settled on this $52 splurge that had great reviews from what I could tell by the comments were Waffle loving folks like me...so it has been a few days so of course I paid for overnight shipping...so now this waffle iron is costing me $74 dollars...yep, I am paying a bundle for this iron it better be good. Now, It was due on Wednesday so of course I am so excited to get this iron and Jay through this whole ordeal I am sure if laughing at me behind my back but he starts to call this iron the cadillac of irons b/c at this point it better be good, I am spending a little fortune on a waffle iron. Now imagine my disappointment when I get an e-mail on Wednesday afternoon informing me that my overnight delivery which I paid quite a bit for is not going to happen and I have to wait an extra day to get my iron. Yep, should have just paid for the 2 day delivery b/c that is what I am getting. So finally last night my iron arrived.
Let me tell you I wanted to make waffles last night but fought the urge. So this morning I made my diet waffles and it was AWESOME! So there is a setting to make the waffles uniformly cooked and super dark...it is possible to make waffle cones on this thing that is how cooked and awesome this iron is...and to make Jay excited, there is a recipe for Browning waffles that Jay is now excited for me to try.
So there is a date tomorrow morning after our workouts to make waffles for Jay and I....so now I am in my happy place....and the Cadillac is awesome! Best purchase ever!
