What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy (2025)?

We use roofing or tec screw to drill into the wood. And every so often, you see smoke from the heat thats generated
Nails are not possible.
I didn't now eucalyptus was even harder!

Some forms are, certainly. Splitting logs in winter is exceptionally hard. You can't use an ordinary axe most of the time, no matter how sharp or heavy it is. You need to have a special wedge splitter axe. Something I never ever needed in the UK or Scandinavia. Most people have a dedicated log splitter for it.

I just find even with my husbands splitter that sometimes the splitter just bounces off the wood when you try to split it. I have been known to take the chainsaw to a lot to split it before now!

And we'll go through 4, maybe 5 chainsaw chains a season, because some of the wood is so hard. Typically iron bark isn't burnt though, so I've no idea what that is like to try to split or take a chainsaw to. Yellow box, red gum and mountain ash (which is a eucalyptus tree here, don't ask) are the normal winter firewood species here.

I have a lot of respect for Australian wood. It bites back big time! I think drilling holes in steel is easier.
 
I despair of myself, just because I don’t want to start painting I’ve watched some hash brown waffle vids and here is the incoming waffle maker I’m definitely NOT buying right now 😭 😂

I figure at this price if I keep the box and I don’t get on with it a friend or even a charity shop will be happy to have it.

There’s also the happy added benefit of knowing that it disrupts work on Sunday morning as well while I make breakfast 😂 👏

You know what works out pretty good? Take your frozen tater tots and when they're thawed out layer those in your waffle maker! 👌

More like an omelette sort of thing. Mix up the egg, include any additions, like bits of ham, onion, whatever, then pour into the waffle iron to cook.

I’ve got a pic around here somewhere. If I can find it, I’ll add it.

What was the advantage of doing it in a waffle maker? Nice dips for gathering sauce or something?
