I hated food the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. I'm lucky in that I didn't have the morning sickness that many do.  I did have a general feeling of being queasy and I hated all food except cold fruit.  Strawberries and clementines never tasted so good. And ice cold water.  If it was cold, I wanted it.  Thankfully that phase has passed.  Now I have an obsession with waffles.  I generally hate most breakfast foods so this is new to me. They're too heavy and dense.  Breakfast shouldn't leave you feeling like you need to get back into bed. Because I have a new obsession with waffles, I purchased a waffle iron.  After much research and debate, I purchased the Presto Flipside .  It's not the model that was recommended by Alton Brown, but it replaced that model.  You know, in case you're an Alton Brown nerd.  It's a Belgian waffle maker with non-stick plates.  The plates aren't removable but the non-stick coating works wonderfully....
