Waffles, pie and Spinning

I've been looking at the appliances I have in my kitchen, ones that haven't been used for a long time. The waffle maker and the pie maker in particular.

I have 2 waffle makers, I can't remember where one came from, could have been a gift from my mother or I had asked her to get me one, the other was my grandmother's. I accidently melted the wire on mine so took Nanna's until David repaired my one. I will give the other back to Mum, though I don't think she would use it. The piemaker was bought in our last house and I am ashamed to say was only used a few times there and not since we moved here in 2001.

Thought I'd give them a try out before deciding what to do with them, do they stay or do they go. First off I made waffles, they not bad at all. Might do a waffle breakfast on weekends.



Then I trid the piemaker, pies looked lovely but where a little anemic inside - need to be more brave when it comes to browning. I did try again and had a better result. The second batch I doubled the meat, as David thought the pies where too oniony. He isn't an onion fan, my son however said they were the best pies ever. Pies for dinner tonight, going to do this weekly I think they are very easy to make.

I've also been looking at my craft supplies, I have way too much. I've decided to give a lot of my scrapbooking things to my niece, keeping supplies for cardmaking. I've decided I'm just not that into scrapbooking - sorry Kathy. I don't have a real forte, haven't got an ultimate favourite craft. When the mood hits me for something in particular I concentrate on that for a while. Last night I pulled out my spinning wheel in an effort to use up the roving that is taking up cupboard space.
