But I may have you sign a waiver before we test it.

I’ll be poking through this when I get a chance, because I’d love to make some of the waffles, orgeat (a popular medieval beverage that turned into a syrup – not sure which this is, or if it’s transitional), almond milk, pillekens, poederkens, tarragon vinegar etc., but if anyone has a bored Dutch uncle who likes waffles, I’d welcome some help!
