Sanity check: I’ve got a little bit of chicken alfredo pasta left over. Not enough for a serve by itself, but I was thinking maybe chucking it in the jaffle maker for lunch tomorrow? Mrs says that sounds horrible, but she also says a bakedbean jaffle is gross and hates a hot chip sandwich so I’m not sure I can trust her judgement.

Pasta in a jaffle? Go for it!
My late bloke used to shudder when I put leftover curry in jaffles, but he and the boys still ate them. I recently sprung my older boy doing curry jaffles to impress his girlfriend.

Oh my god yes that sounds amazing! What kind of curry?

[–] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Whatever - curried butter beans are far and away the best imo, but any curry is pretty damn good. Just don't include much loose sauce/gravy in the jaffle. Perfect for using up leftovers. If all you have is sauce, then soak a piece of bread in it and chop it up and include that in the jaffle. One of my boys really likes leftover fried rice with a dribble of soy in a jaffle.

How would that work? Wouldn't it make the bread soggy and just generally make a mess?

You'd be surprised how robust jaffles are.

I think you should do it. Would I do it? No.

Disregard MrsBreak, I say give it a go
