Mr. T and I were looking at electrical kitchen gadgets yesterday, as our mixer has died a crackly, fiery death. Now usually I scorn specific gadgets as complete money wasters, not useful for anyone who can cook (“Omelette maker? It’s called a pan.” “Fairy floss maker? ARE THEY INSANE? Can you not shove sugar down your child’s throat without the purchase of a fairy floss maker?” “Hot dog maker? HOT DOG MAKER? Do these people not have a POT and a STOVE?” … I’m sure you get the idea. And man, how often do I use rhetorical questions?) and this outing was no exception. However. I was looking around, and completely randomly, found a waffle maker. Which makes waffles in the shape of PENGUINS.
Me: “Penguins! Penguin waffles!”
Mr. T: “What? Oh. Yeah.”
Me: “You don’t understand. This will be mine.”
Mr. T: “What? Why? You don’t even EAT breakfast.”
Me: “I totally would if it were shaped like a PENGUIN!”
Mr. T: “Yeah, whatever. Now go look at mixers. Which is why we are in this store, which is slowly sucking my will to live.”
Me: “OK. Just let me get this penguin-maker.”
Mr. T: “What? NO. You will never make a waffle if you buy that. It will live in the cupboard forever.”
Me: “As God as my witness, I’ll never go hungry again! There will be penguins on every plate!”
Mr. T: “That is a complete waste of money. Walk away from the waffle thing.”
Me: “Penguins! Penguins! Penguins!”
Mr. T: “You are NOT. BUYING. THAT.”
Mmmm. Penguins go well with ice cream. Must be because of their Antarctic upbringing.
Penguin waffles? Oh my gawd… it’s the end! Argh! Run away! Hide yourselves! hahahahaaaaa
OMG! That is the cutest thing I have ever seen!
Can I pop over one day for breakfast? wait that would be rather hard as you live in Australia and I live in Canada! But no the less that is the sutest thing on Earth!
Make sure to treat Mr. T with Tons of waffles!

Not what your post was about, but…here, in the US, its cotton candy. Down there? Fairy Floss! YOU HAVE SUCH A BETTER NAME FOR IT! “Cotton candy” is just so….literal. Ugh.
