Thanks for highlighting my waterside post from last week. And here is my contribution for this week: https://travelwithintent.com/2016/12/29/half-and-half/
The open theme was much appreciated as I’m rushed off my feet at the moment. I have gone a little wild with selective colouring – not breaking too many of your rules i hope!

I admit it. Never would I have thought to make scrambled eggs on a waffle iron. I am trying to imagine how they come out. I guess waffle-shaped?
LikeLike
I like my scrambled eggs fairly well cooked. They do come out looking like a waffle. They collapse fairly fast, but they are cooked evenly. You can of course taken them out when you want. No mess and no fuss. Works well.

The Dandelion and the waffle iron work together as geometric patterns. Wonderful wintery images.
Stay warm
