I haven't got a waffle maker!! Coming round yours!! YBB
Bring some distroyed cheese, I'm running low.
I was going to bring mollified cream cheese. I dont fancy a fight with the cheddar right nowxx
Just mentioned the waffles to OH and got "oh god not another kitchen implement that won't get used".
Must admit that's what I thought, but I've used it every day since I got it. They make a good replacement for bread and take no time to make.
You could always cook them as pancakes, that's what I did first to see if I liked it
Have you tried them with other sorts of cheese?
The book is aimed at the American market and stresses the need for a proper cheddar, so I assume it has to be a hard cheese, or any that leaves a nice crispy edge.
No! I want a waffle maker. No! I need a waffle maker!!
You could borrow it. Actually it wasn't expencive, on ebay it's cheaper than amazon.
Just saw an image of mashed potato waffles - attractive spuds ...
Waffle makers are purely for sweet food in my books. Zach likes potato waffles and it just isnt right!!
We have sweet potato dishes - as in potato dishes that are sweet. Toasted mash is glorious - I often make mash for himself ahead of time and then put it in a individual non-stick pie dish reheats alongside my fish'n'veg in the oven.
But I have had potato scones with jam and cream ...
Tell him you'll make him waffles and maple syrup!😊
I'm blaming you today for my waistline instead of Pinterest , we are now busy grating cheese and making Chaffle like things in the sandwich toaster , topping it with some lovely smoked bacon , and of course a side of baby tomatoes 😋
Send some over here!!!
Himself requested raclette again - don't care as long as he eats something! Now I wonder if that chaffle stuff would work on the raclette ...
It would have to be distroyed first!
Which would seem to make it all a bit pointless wouldn't it ... Just leaving the almonds and the egg ...
I'm referring to the low carb post, don't leave it out once it's destroyed.
You never know , it could just be a very unusual shape and thinner.
It's come out of the sandwich toaster with a squishier , melty middle , nice though , I've made potato waffles in them in the past like this.
My OH is very happy as it turned into a whole meal with bacon , a poached egg , and roasted Tom's and mushrooms. It might become a regular beakfast for dinner meal in our house.
It's such a pain when you can't find something to whet the appetite when your ill isn't it xxx
I'll send my bill
Oooh - I was wondering if they'd work in a toasty maker!
I do like breakfast-for-any-other-meal meals ...
It would be easier if I didn't haveto prise it out of him! Especially since I can practically guarantee he won;t know long enough in advance for me to go and buy what I haven't got ...
I'm like you love breakfast anytime that's why I had the stuff in .
Guess what I've just seen that might make you giggle , not at all carb free I assume but Marks and Spencers have come up with a lemon , gin and tonic sauce as a gimmick for Shrove Tuesday for pancakes.
Sounds much nicer than the percy pig source that simon came home with from M&S the other day. Liquid sweets in a bottle.
Now there's a thought!
I actually have just had an all day breakfast - himself announced just as I was about to turn the raclette on that he didn't want anything due to adverse effects of an antibiotic. I was not amused - he just doesn't get that you have to think in advance what you are cooking, food just happens and appears on the table. So I ate up some leftovers - boiled bacon done like bacon, fried egg, mushrooms and oven baked cherry toms! Yum!!! Just as well I'll eat most things! Same tomorrow night as he has a "procedure" on Monday so can't have dinner.
I get that most nights, I have to have dinner cooked by 6pm for OH. Then most days our son comes home too tired to eat, the fact was that I was too tired to cook most nights and every day the left overs accumulate in the fridge. Very annoying as you say.
It can't be helping your OH to recover if he doesn't eat.
He has supplements and has been eating the last few days - this is(I hope) a one off. But it is the fact he wants me to absorb unspoken info by telepathy. If they ever cooked they might have some idea ...
BTW - I'm not interested in a recipe that takes more than 20 min prep and cooking time!!! Don't care if that sort of meat costs more!
About every 4th day I throw all the leftovers in a pot and that's their dinner!
My hairdresser (male by the way!!!) does that, puts all the leftovers together - but then he makes a pie - top only pie! He tells me it's a family favourite. I'm assuming he doesn't mix sweet and savoury leftovers 🤔
I find as long as one is highly flavoured, like curry, that dominates. Then I'm not eating it, they are and it often is in a pie so they don't recognise what they are eating.
Why not? International cookery has a lot of sweet and sour/savoury mixes ...
So many men seem to have no taste buds - mine doesn't. But is inordinately fussy ...
Mine eats anything -except tinned tuna !
Mine eats fish - deep fried in batter. No other form will be even considered. Except fish fingers. Very toddler like in his food preferences!!!!
What is it about fish. Mine won't eat any fish since dissecting a dog fish at school and seeing all the parasites.

Yuk. That's why sport fishing is bad to me. Hands can damage fish mucous membrane that protect the fish from yukky parasites. If you are going to catch fish at least eat them....and cook them properly!
scats• in reply to
I agree. Luckily OH isn't into fishing. I don't see how it can be considered a sport either but I think we may be in a minority, it's very popular
Not sure it is the "sport" as such - it's the excuse to get further away than the shed. Few women in their right mind want to join them in either!!
The fish thing seems to me to be particularly UK thing - loads and loads of fish eaten here and through the Germanic countries, fish farms everywhere. And they tend to get them served whole, freshly killed before cooking. Love most options - except carp. That just tastes of mud, even from the restaurant with the best reputation!
I love fish and wouldn't mind him catching some to eat. Instead he has a huge shed with every tool under the sun. Over the years he's got quite good at using them too! Very useful.

My dad came from a famy of fishermen and I used to go as a kid. I had a few issues with it when I went vegan in the 80s but made my peace as he only fished with one rod and was prepared to kill them and eat them. My brother does it ow but not had convo with him about whether him and kids eat or not. My neice got a rod for Xmas and was very excited.
Have had one in the cupboard for 15 years! Why I don't throw it away I don't know!
🤣🤣🤣
WHAT is "distroyed" cheese??
See my post about low carb. It's some very bad translation.
It looks good, thought it was a raspberry at first and thought strange with tommy 😂🤣😂
Taste okay? Can you taste almond?
scats• in reply to
It's a tiny tom, my granddaughters fave. I can't tast almond , you can always add more cheese, it makes them crispier.
Nuts are used to make vegan cheeses anyway so I didn't notice anything but the taste of destroyed cheese!
One recipe is just cheese and egg ...
You get crispy crisp-like things here made with just grated Parmesan
• in reply toscats
Your granddaughter ought to meet my neice. When she was little and staying with me she asked if she could have a cherry tomato. When I turned round she had munched through the whole punnet in a few mins. I couldnt help laughing at her fast technique.

Beth eats them like sweets, but they have to be red. I grew her some yellow ones last year and she wouldn't touch them.
Love the serving suggestion , a baby tomatoe that survived the hacking !😋😂😂😂
You know I wouldn't hurt a baby. Now thanks to you I have to eat another one.😏
Yum!
Looks lovely, would never have thought of almonds an d cheese together.....might try as a pancake....no wafflemaker either.....
At times like this I wish I had a waffle maker
Is ground almonds the same as almond flour?
I make Keto bread that uses ground almonds, baking powder, olive oil, and grated cheese and an egg. Done in the microwave for 90 seconds. I let it cool and then toast it
Recipe???
3 tablespoons of almond flour
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon of baking Powder
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
(I add some grated cheese)
Pour into small bowl and whisk together
Cook in microwave for 90 seconds and cool
Very similar. I've toasted the waffles too.
Yes I thought it was similar. I find the cheese helps with the flavour and I usually miss out on the salt
I find the best way to manage low carb is to find something simple and quick that you like enough to replace your regular version, not always easy. Chaffles and flax crackers have helped me a lot.
I just tried this - it worked well. Thanks for posting.
I’ve just tried it with coconut flour. It didn’t work 🤣😥🤣😥
Coconut flour is far more absorbant and reacts quite differently. I find it quite difficult to work with, shame.
Cloud bread is my favorite go-to for gluten free/keto bread. Lots of recipes for it on the internet. It's basically whipped egg whites folded with whipped yolks and cream cheese. You can also add Italian herbs, garlic, etc.
Unfortunately, I'm celiac so no wheat, rye or barley permitted and all the gluten free bread I've tried is terrible. I've learned to live without bread (very sadly) but every once in a while you need something to hold that juicy beef patty or ham and Swiss you're craving.
That's tough. You've found cloud bread, that you like and I found chaffles!
I have to be fair to Germany - I have had some excellent gluten-free bread in restaurants there! But usually it isn't worth it. The hospital here sends the bread automatically - they could bake the rolls they send packaged it might be worth it but the sliced bread they send is disgusting! They make up for it with their made in-house ravioli-style pasta.
