Adventures in Boredom: A Recent Conversation Between Me And Tiny
Tiny is of course my steadfast and loyal roommate, and like the Borg, she is one of two (EZ being two).
Me: I think we need a waffle iron.
Tiny: Why?
Me: To make waffles for brunch and stuff.
Tiny: Are we going to be making brunch?
Me: Totally.
Tiny: I'm not sure we have room for a waffle iron.
Me: Of course we do. We'll just stick it in that cabinet where we put the other appliances.
Tiny: That cabinet is pretty full. Can you make waffles without the iron?
Me: No. Those are called pancakes.

Maybe you can microwave them pancakes on the bottom of a boot? Redneck waffles!
We got one for a wedding present and have used it about, oh, 3 times in 6 years. But I like the idea that I could make waffles if I want to.
I so seldom use it, it's kept in the basement and therefore an even bigger pain in the neck to use.
One word: Eggos
I'm with newsha. One of my favorite breakfast places serves eggos. if its good enough for them, it is good enough for you.
I say its better to have options.
If I came over for brunch, and I couldn't have any waffles because you had no "room" for a waffle iron, I'd be pissed.
Either way they are called "delicious"! :)
What about a crepe maker? That would be fancy.
Also, your roommates are killing even the simplest of your dreams.
You have to get married to get a waffle iron. It's in the rules.
Be careful what you wish for. I have a criss-cross burn scar on the inside of my left forearm from a tragic waffle-iron accident in 1992.
On the upside, my "brand" gives me street cred with breakfast ganstas.
Might I suggest a travel waffle iron. They're compact and double as a key chain.
Gawddammit... now I'm hungry for waffles.
You know, my wife and I had this exact conversation recently.
