Paring Down the Registry

One of the fun things about having a blog about the wedding is having a fiance that reads random internet articles and is more than happy to pass them on to me. He really loves passing on articles from a decluttering website, as he believes (maybe erroneously) that I am a pack rat.

This article was referenced on www.unclutterer.com, but talks about different uses for common household appliances. In theory, being able to use the appliances for multiple uses means that you don't have to register for as many things. There's recipes for making frozen beverages in ice cream makers, and how to use a waffle iron as a sandwich maker, brownie maker, and goodness knows what else. My favorite was the recipe for a souffle in a slow cooker, which sounds really easy, but maybe you wouldn't need a slow cooker to make a souffle, just a thought.

Anyway, the BEST part about the article (http://www.chow.com/stories/11092?page=1) is in one of the comments. I don't know that "unclutterer" knew about this person, surely they would have filtered it out. "Karykat" asks "I do have a question though. I have a regular waffle maker that just makes small round waffles. But also have a Belgian waffle maker. Think that would work for these recipes? " Hilarious! Surely this woman has a George Foreman. I mean, you can't have two waffle makers and no George Foreman.
