Yeast batter waffles. Ever had them? Can’t say I had ever heard of them, but David fixed them for us for breakfast this morning and it made it worth getting up at 7:00. He starts the night before by preparing the batter, which rises overnight in the refrigerator. I have to tell you they are GREAT! Thanks David. (He says the recipe is on the Cooks Illustrated website, so I will have to check this out further)
As for sightseeing, we were batting 500 today. We wanted to drop by Altapass Orchard to listen to acoustic music this afternoon, but they are closed on Tuesdays. I am not sure what it is about this area, but they keep strange hours.
We drove over to the Penland Crafts School that we found closed yesterday. We had better luck today and enjoyed some time in the gallery. This is a high-end school for those who want to hone their craft and they offer programs in metal work, glass, ceramics, textiles, etc. The galley was filled with quality student art pieces and it was nice to finally get to see them. Here are David and Fran Strawn in front of the great porch at the gallery building. We spent a little time there in the shade with a great breeze.
We are starting to watch tropical storm Emily to see what she is up to. We will be driving to the South Georgia coast Friday, so her path will be of interest. If she stays east of the Bahamas we should be fine. If she comes up the gulfstream there may be serious rain and slow down our visits to Jekyll Island and Saint Simon Island. Fingers are now officially crossed.
