first, I want to thank Christianna for the heads-up on the wafer irons. 
I think we get the Tuesday Morning mailings, although that may have 
just been at the old address. I'm not sure if I can find the latest one 
right now. I really wish they would put the latest flyer on their 
website.

I actually found the website before I saw it here. I guess I should 
have read the next digest. I really thought that, considering the name, 
a web search would create oodles and oodles of extraneous links, but 
that wasn't the case. I did find, using their store finder, that there 
are two within five miles of me. I used to go by the one on the 
southwest side of town when I lived down there, but hadn't looked for 
the ones up here.

Anyway, since tomorrow (later today?) is a vacation day for me, I'll 
give those two stores a call and see if they have the pizzelle/wafer 
irons. If they do, and folks are willing to pay the postage, I am 
willing to buy them for anyone who doesn't have a Tuesday Morning store 
close to them and then mail them to you.

I haven't seen these yet, so I don't know how good the quality is. But 
the one that I bought several years ago has already lost one or more of 
its plastic legs and it cost me at least twice as much as this one.

And for those wondering what these things are used for, and what it has 
to do with medieval food, see this file in the FOOD-BREADS section of 
the Florilegium:
