The newest addition to the Sunday of Lesley kitchen is a very cool contraption that makes pizelles! Have you ever had those? In Sweden they're called Krumkake. I remember them from Christmases as a kid, and they're quite scrumptious! They're big, flat, very thin cookies that you cook on a waffle-iron kind of thing. You can either leave them flat and dust them with powdered sugar, or roll them around a stick and make them into little cones. They're too small and cookie-like for ice cream, but you can fill them with whipped cream and berries. Very delicious!
I brought some peppermint bark into the office today. People are so darn picky about free food; have you noticed? "This would be better if it didn't have the crunchy stuff on top." (You mean the...uh...peppermints?) "Couldn't you make this nonfat? You know I'm trying to lose weight." "This isn't supposed to have dark chocolate on it. Crate and Barrel's doesn't have dark chocolate on it."
Ah well, it disappeared quickly, just the same!
Krumkake? How could you not like food with a name like that.
Is this Krumkake person related to Officer Krupke from "West Side Story" by chance?
