remembering treats from my childhood

When I was a child, my family was one of the few ethnic ones in the neighborhood.  I remember that all the kids would come to my house and be amazed at the food available.  No matter what time of day you could find something warm to eat on the stove.  Ok...maybe not in the middle of the night. Well, one of my favorite treats were the Pizelle's.  Most of the time, my Mom would drag out the Pizelle maker when she was throwing a party or at a holiday event, but it was truly a special afternoon when she would just get it out for the heck of it.  These are simple "waffle" like cookies that can be eaten warm or at room temperature.  The best way I like it is warm with a nice layering of Nutella on it.  If you haven't tried these lovely treats, you should.  I have found that Amazon.com often has great bargains on the machines.  You can pick up a high quality machine like this Cuisinart for around $37.72.  Feel free to use the link to research them yourself and let me know how you like to eat your Pizelle.
