In my never ending search for more low carb goodies to brighten my life I spend many an hour searching the web, there are numerous helpful sites and blogs. Another of my hunting grounds is Amazon, looking inside recipe books.
The other day I discovered chaffles, a low carb waffle. Basically a batter is made of one egg, 1tbs ground almonds and half a cup of grated cheese and put in a waffle iron. Very nice too!
While searching through a book on chaffles I accidently clicked on buy now, and found my kindle app with a new and unexpected form of amusement. With the weather as it is I thought I might share with you as we could all do with extra amusing as this time of year.
Here I will appologise to our American friends if I offend by my missunderstading but I believe most of the humour derives from a very bad translation.
Ingredients listed include;
Destroyed cheddar
Mollified cream cheddar
Discretionary water
Small bunch of destroyed mozzarella cheddar
Preparing powder
1tsp ginger/garlic glue.
Hacked tomatoes
I hope you are as amused as I was, I'm off to mollify my cream cheese and heat the waffle iron.

The basic recipe is hidden in the post, these ingredients come in later recipes. If you mollify your cheese first it won't mind so much about being distroyed with luck.
Going well thanks - apart the usual rigmarole with the compression stockings. I thought they were bad enough trying to get off and on with a recovering knee or hip - but with a shoulder out of commission it’s a nightmare.
Think I have to revert to showering with them on, and drying with a hairdryer!
I am sure that there is a device that helps with this. Grammy80 discussed it in a recent post. I think it’s a kind of frame that you put the stocking on and then slip your foot into it. I will try to find it. You’ll catch cold!
Thanks for that - but I’ve got one - got it for hip last year. But you still have to pull the stocking up using both hands - and at the moment that’s the difficult bit.
Changed them yesterday - and tweaked operated shoulder.
So I’d rather catch cold that mess my shoulder up. 🤣😂🤣
I’ll have another look - mine came from local mobility shop and was quite expensive.
What made me laugh when I looked at the video on line on how to use it - the presenter was a young woman who obviously had no joint issues whatsoever! So it looked easy!
I am beginning to see your own solution as genius. My invention involved a hollow rubber tube and a small electric pump to inflate it once the stocking was on it and then slide your foot/ leg in, then deflate it and slide it off or undo Velcro, but then there’s getting them off.🤪Some people say lubrication helps.
A company called Brightlife Direct, sell compression wraps as an alternative to stockings. Don’t know how well that would work?
I am in distance nursing mode as my son in Edinburgh had minor but emergency surgery last week, doesn’t want us to drop everything and go. He still needs advice and solutions and food hampers.
How very kind of you to think of helping Legsy0714. He feels almost like his normal self now and back attending his lectures . So not this time thank you. Edinburgh is my old home town. I think she looked after him.
I had one to get my mother's stockings on, and we couldn't manage it with the two of us, very hard work! It would not help your shoulder that's for sure.
Foot in plaster for six months 14 years ago so I bought Adult Short Waterproof Leg Cast and Bandage Protector Designed to Protect Dressings and Injuries While Showering or Bathing. Still got it and it has been borrowed many times.
What rain - we have had a few showers.................mainly through the night. However wind is awful and its cold.
Where we are, Pennines to the West, North Yorkshire Moors to South, Cheviot Hills to North...........so geographically we are OK most of the time..................however, anything coming in from the North or North East - nothing between us and Siberia - we call it "Lazy Wind"..............goes right through you.
BTW daffs, crocus, marigolds are all out. Climate change - yup and the 3rd year, so far, without any snow...............mind it can come up to Easter when it wants.
There are a couple of Viking Boats that could be dug up here..............they came up the River Team, which flows into the Tyne. 🤞
Whenever you move into a new house with an established garden, the trick is to do nothing for one year (except pull up weeds and water if necessary. Note what comes up and where..................ten you can start out knowing what you want to replace or remove or just move.
So good on you moving in May 2019...............2 months till your 1st Anniversary.
You mentioned before about leaving the garden alone which is what we did and its been interesting looking at whats in there. We have some lovely fuchias which are one of my favourite but we also gotsome gorgeous gladiolli which i initially thought were iris's which i dislike. So waiting to see whats there has definitely been worth it so thanks for your advicexx
I could not hold a hair dryer long enough to get round the back of my legs , my arms would drop off or the dryer would be on the floor and my legs are very slim I only weigh 8 st 2lbs.
I have a spike board. If I was closer you could have it! Tomatoes easy to get off the spike but root veg a no no.
LOTS of supposed one handed adverts but does it look to you like a 25yr old using both hands in this picture?? I have had a few things from this place. My hand gripper that hold the shoe and has a shoe horn was best!
Himself can't bend at present as a result of a fractured vertebra - mercifully he's managing to get his stockings on but I have to pull them off! Even I struggle ...
😂🤣😂 Don't knock it until you try it. They ought to try Velcro fastened compression socks that can be tightened once on. I tried what was supposedly a large enough pair and couldn't squeeze them over my poor toes at the tines.
I can't even cope with flight socks! So seeing some study that said they aren't worth it was a joy! I'm on anticoags, the chances of a DVT are fairly small ...
They never account for a lifetime of hard cycling but narrow ankles either. Never had a pair of boots above the ankle over my muscly calves... More rightly calf these days.
They do have versions with zips now , not tried them yet though .
The secret Sadist in me likes to torture my OH by making him drag my full leg and arm ones off .
I get particular satisfaction when he pulls too hard at the point that they are close to giving way and ends up falling back onto the floor on his bum with the thing slapping him in the face or waving about like a victory flag.
Who says you can't have some fun in the bedroom with your partner with a Chronic condition !😋😂😂😂
I can feel your tomatoes and other vegetables shaking in their boots as you describe that. They are all sitting in the fridge , quaking , whispering , " Not me , please not me!" 😋😂😂😂
As a former professional translator - oh yes, chinglish/franglish/germlish ... Hours of innocent fun You can always predict what the second or third word in the dictionary was ...
Even big European companies need a kick - I never read the English instructions for white goods.
I looked it up , it was a translation from an Italian cookbook for the English/ American market , but I think the translators must have got Chaffle related Brain Fog when they translated it . I'm tempted to buy it for the comedy value alone , oh , and the added brain training from trying to work out what things like , "Preparing Powder" actually are !😋😂
I was inspired to shop.... The supermarket had a recipe in its magazine... A certain plum x apricot, walnuts, gorganzola, watercress and savory seeds and a dressing. They didn't sell the plums, no gorganzola, no savory seeds. What a joke!!! Back to avocado salad!
Thanks all of you for the laughs. 🤪😂🤣 Reminded me of the owner’s manual for the “noodle” bike which I had in the early 1960’s which was translated from Japanese.
Oh no...I guess I better start talking nicely to my cheese collection! Currently...Shropshire Blue, Double Gloucester, Halloumi & Mozzarella are quaking in their boots in my fridge! Whoops, S x
I discovered that Cauliflower Cheese is Keto the other day. I am overjoyed that something so comforting can be so good for me , served with fine streaky bacon slices (poitrine) I am in heaven
I had Cauliflower cheese for breakfast/brunch a couple of weeks ago. I made a soft cheese and cream sauce that was filled with butter fried mushrooms and sliced spring onion.
