Saturday morning, and it's time to refresh after a week of work with some waffles. Now I used to think I knew about waffles and their varieties, Eggos, traditional American, Waffle House, or the ever-famous Belgian waffles. So I wasn't expecting anything that special when friends dragged me to @tasteofbelgium, but was I wrong! These waffles are crisp and sugary on the outside with soft and doughy inside, completely unlike anything I’ve ever had. It's an experience that's stuck with me over the years, and the chicken waffles there is truly on a new level. While I can still get my fix because Taste of Belgium does ship anywhere in the US, that requires planning and waiting for the shipment to make it all the way from Cincinnati to New Mexico. So I endeavored to make a homemade version and after some research found these waffles are a modified Liege Waffle. So I made the dough last night and this morning worked in some sugar, divided, and baked. The shape of the "refresh" mug was probably a poor choice though, it's rather dainty and took a moment to adjust to after vigorous kneading of sugar into dough. All the effort was well worth it, to sit on the couch and enjoy a waffle and coffee, completing this refreshing morning.

Finding the brand "Create" on the underside of the mug was satisfying, as it is rather apt for the creation of waffles.
