  • I’m gonna blow your mind here:

    Cinnamon rolls (like the Pillsbury pre-made dough ones) in a Belgian waffle maker (the deep ones like they have at hotel lobbies).

    Squish one per corner in there, cook it like normal (maybe pull it earlier, gotta trial and error the time), and pop them out.

    The outside is crispy, the inside is soft, and the icing stays in the little pockets so you can eat them with your hands without making a mess.

    You’re welcome.


  • Great for dating files, too. We have an otherwise exceptionally inefficient routing chain at work, but we’re required to start each file with the date it was created (e.g. 20250101 Johnson Commendation) and it works beautifully for finding files and knowing how long they’ve sat in someone’s “bucket” even though a hard copy is being delivered office-to-office (but final memo needs to be signed digitally). sigh





  • And the US military. I was studying the supply manual (not for fun, a large portion of our promotions are based on a test we take once a year), and saw there was a hierarchy for ordering. Most of our stuff is from Skilcraft (“Made with pride by people who are blind”) and thought that was our preferred source. Nope! Our first source we have to try to order from is Unicor. So I looked up Unicor, and it’s prison labor.

    So our first focus is buying cheap products from slave labor lining the pockets of truly awful business people. The secondary choice is one that helps blind people. Way to show priorities, right?
