Ahhh… what a view.
There is nothing like a good view to go along with a delicious brunch.
Yum!! This brunch is special to me because for once I didn’t have to make it. Not to mention I have been able to enjoy having brunch for the past two days. I host a regional trade show twice a year for the surf and skate industry and on those days I forget to eat, so having brunch at my fingertips has been an amazing treat. I also have to admit breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, I could have breakfast all day long.
Look at the size of that homemade waffle. Oh yeah! That is what I am talking about ya’ll. How can that be wrong three times a day…or four…or six. I’ll stop now before Jillian shows up to toss my breakfast in the trash. Have you seen that? She is coming to your house now to clean out your fridge and yell at you. I am changing the locks this week.
Back to my beautiful waffle, now you guys are probably wondering why, oh why is Red boring us today with her waffle obsession. There is a method to my madness ya’ll.
Today is Monday correct? So let’s see waffles…giveaway…waffles…giveaway, if you are thinking waffle iron give yourself a high five.
This week’s giveaway is a Cuisinart Round Classic Waffle Maker in brushed stainless steel. As usual the rules are listed below.
For this giveaway I have some exciting news for ya’ll. CSN Stores has graciously offered to contribute to our Monday is Giving-Giveaway. You gotta love that! They think that you guys rock as much as I do and I think that is just awesome. 🙂 I am so TICKLED for you guys. Can you tell that I have been surrounded by surfers for the past 48hrs? They are starting to have an affect on my vocabulary.
Let’s try that again, CSN Stores has over two hundred online stores. Wow!!! Can you imagine the hours of fun scrolling through there looking at all of the goodies? They have everything that you could possible think of. Nifty cool kitchen gadgets (hee hee), gorgeous decor items for your house and cool furniture pieces like their tv stands. Speaking of tv stands, I need one badly. My flat screen is sitting on my hope chest right now, that does not TICKLE me in the least.
I would like to send out a big warm Thank You to CSN Stores for graciously donating the Cuisinart Waffle Iron this week to our Monday is Giving-Giveaway. Just so you know the monkeys are hard at work coming up with a drawing idea that fits in with this weeks theme. Who knows what they will come up with next 🙂
Happy Monday Ya’ll! I have to run back to the trade show now but I want to know what your favorite meal is. I look forward to chatting with you all soon.
XOXO,
Tickled Red
PS: My surfer boy is back home so hopefully once I get some sleep tonight my funny bone will be back in full swing.

I would love a new waffle maker! The one I have now is years old… given to me as a bridal shower gift for a marriage that’s now defunct. So a fresh start would be welcomed!
May 18, 2010 at 7:45 am
It is a beauty 🙂 I wish that i could enter, I don’t even have an old defunct one.

I would love to have a waffle maker! 🙂 Then I can make waffles, cream cheese and strawberries for Terry. That’s as close as I can get to one of your strawberry cheese cakes. ha ha Love – Mom
May 18, 2010 at 7:45 am
You are a nut mom 🙂
May 17, 2010 at 2:04 pm
The only small kitchen appliance I use on a regular basis… A WAFFLE IRON! My boys would love for their chocolate chip waffle makin Mama to have a new one!
You rock Red:)
May 18, 2010 at 7:46 am
Hi ya BFF!! Mmmm chocolate chip waffles! I will be right over if you do win.
May 17, 2010 at 2:16 pm
My daughter would love me lots more if her waffles did not come frozen… from a box… I am thinking that she’d be real fond of you also 🙂
May 18, 2010 at 7:48 am
I bet she would adore you 🙂 Frozen waffles make great summer time frisbees.
May 17, 2010 at 3:18 pm
That appliance is a beauty!
You have an uncanny power of suggestion, as now my favorite meal is definitely brunch. And my eyelids are getting droopy. Am I going to remember any of this tomorrow?
By the way, those monkeys of yours are going to have a hard time coming up with something else as clever as BESSIE!
May 18, 2010 at 7:48 am
Thanks! I don’t know, they are on the nutty side.
May 17, 2010 at 3:29 pm
I just tweeted about your giveaway, but I might as well come right out and admit that darned if I know how to post a link to my tweet. I’m @RoseMillsOhio if that helps.

May 18, 2010 at 7:49 am
No worries I am still learning myself.
May 17, 2010 at 5:44 pm
I would love to own a wafflemaker. Please count me in.

This would be a welcomed addition, I mean SUBSTITUTE for the waaaaaaay over it Hello Kitty waffle maker that we currently have.
May 18, 2010 at 7:51 am
Hahahaha…Hello Kitty…I can’t breathe!! 🙂 Oh my darlin’ that was the best.
May 17, 2010 at 6:01 pm
Oh yeah! Love the waffle iron-but I have to admit-I lingered over the beach pictures a bit longer!! Thanks gal!
May 18, 2010 at 7:53 am
I honestly the thought did cross my mind when I put them up that you specifically would like those more than anything else. No joke.
May 17, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I can smell those awesome waffles now……with real maple syrup and powdered sugar!
I’m a new fan on FB!!
May 18, 2010 at 7:54 am
You just made me hungry for waffles again…but I am at home..sniff, sniff…with no waffle maker of my own. Whaaaa.
May 18, 2010 at 8:00 am
Despite my fondness for gadgets, a while ago I tried to down-size my kitchen and got rid of the things I rarely used. Both the waffle iron and the toaster went. (The toaster? Yep. Crumbs everywhere, and it’s a one trick pony. I can crisp up bread on a skillet just as easily, I thought. But eventually my wife stepped in and replaced it.)
Then my brother and family were visiting, I asked what the kids liked for the various meals I would need to prepare, waffles were mentioned, and I had to try to explain to them that pancakes were just as good. Apparently not to pre-teens.
May 18, 2010 at 8:05 am
Ah pre-teens. Some of the most unmovable people on the plant 🙂 I feel your ainxt. I can’t wait to read more of your blog, thanks for stopping by.
May 18, 2010 at 10:54 am
NOTE: Don’t put me in the running for the waffle maker…I’ve got one.
Just wanted to say…my sister and I love breakfast. Anytime of the day. That’s one good thing about living in Nevada…breakfast is served 24/7. 🙂
May 18, 2010 at 10:56 am
Hee…I see dead eggs there too…just the way I like them. No runny icky yolks.
May 18, 2010 at 12:13 pm
Yes ma’m no runny eggs here.
May 19, 2010 at 9:22 am
Any cute (single) guys at the trade show? 😉 Not for you…I know your honey is finally back home. Just wondering. Inquiring minds and all. 🙂
May 19, 2010 at 6:40 pm
Oh yes 😉 should I post the show or do you think people will Zzzzzzz?
May 20, 2010 at 9:16 am
Yes, post the show…it is what is going on in your world. That is what our blogs are supposed to be about. And I just want to see pictures of the cute single guys. 😉
May 21, 2010 at 6:00 am
Ok 🙂 I’ll put something together for next week.
May 19, 2010 at 9:45 am
LOL, I’m downsizing my gadget collection and just sold my waffle maker in last week’s yard sale. I can just feel that I’m the winner of this!
May 19, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Wish I had known I need one 😦 bummer.
May 20, 2010 at 2:53 am
My old waffle maker bit the dust. I’d love to replace it with this one. And, here’s hoping for the safe and timely return of your funnybone! 🙂
May 21, 2010 at 6:02 am
Aww… thanks. I am feeding it pop rocks every day 🙂

I need to hit the beach after seeing it in your pics…sigh!!
May 21, 2010 at 6:05 am
Yes you do!! Come to NC and visit, we would have a blast. I know someone with a rental one block from the beach :)…Mom.
May 21, 2010 at 4:29 am
waffles are awesome when i dig out my waffle-maker. waffles are extraordinary if someone else digs it out and makes them for me. 🙂
May 21, 2010 at 6:07 am
You know what I agree completely 🙂 Unfortunately the monkeys and my surfer would burn the waffles.
May 21, 2010 at 3:56 pm
I am glad I’m not too late! I would love a shot at a snazzzy new waffle iron -mine gives a little electric shock when you plug it in (just a little one-not big enough to make me give up WAFFLES mind you!) I like brunch too–you can eat the yummy breakfast foods but you don’t need to be cooking so bloomin early to get ’em!
May 21, 2010 at 8:49 pm
I am so glad that you made it in the nick of time as well! Hope all is well with the family.
