Waffle iron, or are they waffle pans when you don't plug them in? I'm sort of a kitchen Luddite - the only electrical kitchen applicance I have is a toaster, and that was a gift. It took forever to find pans to make waffles with that weren't electric - in the end, I bought them from some place that caters to Amish communities.

I've also got one of those mixers you crank, but really, I almost never use it. It's a nice conversation piece, provided you don't mind a conversation that starts "what the f---?" It amazes me how few women cook, seriously cook, nowadays - if I have to explain what a pastry blender is one more time...

This is SF. Having two maids to clean your mess is standard. Actually, two maids is on the smalltimer side of standard, but it's still standard.
