I seriously love hearing that some of our most recent mommas had little warning that they were about to go into labor. Just goes to show you that baby comes when baby wants.
I just ate a waffle. Does that mean I will start labor??
Hahaha bump this thread! I love it!
As a non-American, I am intrigued by the fact that you guys all seem to own waffle irons, and can have waffles on demand. I suspect I have had a very deprived life in comparison!

Girl, I microwave that stuff from the freezer! If only I had a waffle iron!
@Westypet@aliciaspinnet I have a waffle iron. I have used it once in 3 years. I slum it with frozen eggos or get some real ones via takeout from the breakfast cafe next door...I think the joy of waffles would be tainted by having to clean up the batter and supplies after.

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
I don't have a waffle iron. Yeah, that's just too much work. Waffles are fully a 'going out to breakfast' treat. Tho, I'm more partial to a good dish of French toast, myself. There is a place nearby that does cream cheese stuffed french toast, covered with in season fruit... Omg. Nom nom nom
LOL when registering for our wedding DH and I allowed eachother one ridiculous item each. He wanted a deep fryer and i wanted the waffle iron.
Number of times we've used the waffle iron: A BAZILLION (no joke, we love the stupid waffle iron so much) Number of times we've used the deep fryer: ZERO (still in the effing box)
@Mommaswizz my DH begs me alllll the time for a deep fryer. I say no because I'll just eat so unhealthy! He wanted one for our wedding so badly. I'm such a b*^%#
@klkonwi That was my biggest argument! It's unhealthy and lord knows i have enough unhealthy habits to live with (like making waffles on the waffle iron and putting whipped cream and copious amounts of syrup on them). But DH insisted because his nonna makes some badass homemade calzones in her deep fryer and he swears he'll do it one day. I'm still waiting on my calzone while the damn thing collects dust in our closet.
I asked for a waffle iron for Christmas thinking it would become a staple in our home. There were so many things I've wanted to waffle- cinnamon rolls, grilled cheese, cookies, brownies, etc. I use it like once a month, maybe. It's a hassle to clean.
Ladies, we bought a griddler (panini press, grill) and they have attachments - including a waffle maker! Easy easy to use. The only way I could get DH to allow me to "take counter space for a waffle iron". I recommend it!

We get a reasonable amount of use out of our deep fryer, and I must say that if you're frying anything where temperature is crucial (especially if you're doing big batches), then it's really useful. Generally we use it for things we cook ourselves, not for prepackaged food, so maybe I can fool myself into thinking it's not as unhealthy as it really is.
For us, being able to make triple cooked chips in large amounts is worth it by itself. Best chips (or fries for the Americans here) ever!
@aliciaspinnet ahhhhhhhh homemade fries (chips) sound amazing to me right now!! You might talking me into digging the deep fryer out of the closet!
I make 2kg of potatoes at a time, and freeze the excess between the first and second fry. That way you can have triple cooked chips at short notice - I have a bag in the freezer right now which I've been saving.
you guys are soo fancy, i just use a pot of oil canola oil for making my fries, and sometimes chicken drumsticks, i should probably get a thermometer though.

Now THAT sounds like a good investment! Why do I not have a panini press !?
Y'all want deep fried magic, make a trip to the Texas State Fair in Dallas. I swear I leave barfing and so freaking happy. Literally anything will be fried and put in your face.
But I thought y'all would appreciate my most recent phone error. Bump app errored out and the message said "Error: Pregnancy has ended." My first thought was, "does this mean I'm going into labor?" Please be the world's first psychic phone...
Look what I had for dinner! All this damn talk about waffles wormed its way into my craving subconscious. I added strawberry rhubarb sauce...nom, nom, nom. I wish I had whipped cream.
I am pretty sick of all my apps stating that amniotic fluid has no odor. You are very wrong SIR. It in fact does have a distinct odor! No wonder ppl are misinformed!
This is my forecast. Maybe the drop in barometric pressure is what woke me up and I'll go into labor soon! Or maybe I should just close the window that's open right above my head. :-??
@mellymar I love that you block out your location. So smart. I'm such a derp derp I probably would post my street address :-h , as evidenced by me posting a picture of the baby with all my identifying info...

Yeah well you hadn't had any sleep and had just finished with this crazy mind bending event. You get a pass on that one

@Zeuskay01 Are they pancake battered? I just want to dip everything in pancake batter and fry it.

But in the mean time, read some of the threads on here. Very helpful and comforting!
