Waffles, waffle irons and percieved wisdom...

I just made waffles...

Sundays aboard "So It Goes" is pretty much always a waffles for breakfast affair. For this to happen we have to have a waffle iron and for a space-constrained galley you have to consider the wisdom of having a pan or tool that only has one purpose and the general advice going around is that if it only does one thing you should do without it...

So not wanting to swim upstream or go against perceived wisdom of other more experienced sailors we did without a waffle iron for years...

Which leads us to our hand powered blender which works really well and is oh-so-practical and can be used for countless galley jobs and makes a mean Margarita to boot. A galley tool that no one would suggest superfluous to the cruising lifestyle and some might even say something of a requirement... and we've used it twice. I guess we are simply not blender folk.

Which points out that a lot of perceived wisdom and good advice does not actually have a lot to do with how you actually live your life and run your galley and should be taken into account when you are making galley and provisioning decisions.

So now I get to have waffles on Sunday and life is good...
