The first thing you notice when you walk into the joint is the light, sweet smell of waffle batter wafting through the air. This bare-bones kitchen in Tacoma serves waffles will keep me coming back from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 7-8 and Dec. 14-15. Yes, it's open for a limited time.

You can order your waffle simple, with just a dusting of powdered sugar to accentuate the crisp-on-the-outside, light-and-moist-on-the-inside organic treat. That's right. The folks running the joint use fresh, organic, local, gleaned ingredients - with gluten-free and dairy-free options. Or you may choose from a variety of more complicated preparations, such as the roasted nuts waffles, roasted nuts and whipped cream waffles and seasonal fruits. My favorite preparation is plain: light and airy, moist without the overnight yeast base that can make waffles too firm and dry. I love waffles. These are truly delicious.

Can you guess where I'm eating?

Ed. Note: Congratulations to Debbie Corcoran who, among others, guessed the waffles were from the Free-Range Kitchen at 4427 Sixth Ave. in Tacoma. The waffles will be served from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Dec. 7-8 and 14-15. The cost is $2 a waffle. All proceeds go toward developing the culinary incubator.
