What can I say? It’s dangerous going to El Corte Inglés after getting a nice tip on a Sevilla Tapas Tour. Because all of a sudden I needed to buy a sandwich maker! Justifications: 1) I’ve never had one before and 2) it was on sale! Also, there was that crazy good sounding savoury waffle recipe I saw on Twitter a couple of months ago that left me wishing I had a waffle iron (and dammit, if I’d had one then I would’ve actually saved that recipe). Another cool thing is that until I looked online for photos of this bad boy I didn’t realise it was designed to store upright – bonus!
To be honest, I probably won’t use this a lot, and when I do it will likely just be for grilled cheese toasties, but it’s been awhile since I bought myself a kitchen gadget (the mandolina back in 2017 that has yet to leave its box) so what the heck. What was the last frivolous thing you bought for yourself?
I think my new Fitbit counts as frivolous. The Engineer got one in June and was having so much fun with it — he’s an engineer, he loves nothing more than collecting and organizing data — that I decided to see what one would tell me. Now I’ve been working out like a madman for thirty years without a tracking device, but it is sort of interesting to know that my favorite hill route is the rough equivalent of 22 flights of stairs or that I am actually awake for about an hour every night. I have to wear it on my ankle to work on clients. It feels like I have a court ordered monitor.
