Cereal, Bacon and Orange Juice

So tonight my dear husband and I were scrounging around the kitchen to figure something out to eat for dinner. Our kitchen is in that stage where you have some food but not enough to go to the store to buy a buggy full of groceries but yet not enough to fix a good healthy meal. So we decided not to go to the store and just "find something in the cabinets." So on the hunt we went and we came upon Bisquick and Bacon that needed to be eaten before it went bad. So because we are newlyweds and we haven't gotten a chance to use our new waffle maker, waffles seemed like the perfect plan!!



So Jordy wanted to use the new waffle maker so bad, so I agreed that I would fix the bacon. Off we went!! Cooking away!!! Well like I have a tendency to do, I had to bust out the manual just to make sure he was doing this right and to make sure that there wasn't anything "first time use" rules; ya know. So as I peer over his shoulder, to my wonderful eyes the waffle maker was smoking. No joke. Jordy replies to my look with "I'm just waiting for the green light to come on and that means it's ready." I'm like ok whatever you say :)
I then continue on cooking my bacon to perfection and then I hear a "OH CRAP!" I turn around and the what was supposed to be an awesome waffle turned out to be burnt on the outside and gooey inside. Totally not what I was expecting. So I say, "this is just the first one on the machine so just try again." Well after the green light goes off again to my wonderful surprise, the same thing happens again except for this time the entire thing is completely burned to the point where we are scrapping it off the cooker. So instead of having Belgian waffles and bacon, we have cereal, bacon and a side of orange juice. Maybe next time I should give it a shot. My husband still thinks the waffle maker is messed up.
