The air fryer for beginners cookbook had only one recipe for shrimp. And I did not like it. Looked online. Why do recipes seem to involve complicated seasoning efforts? So last night I defrosted shrimp, removed tails, patted dry, then tossed with sweet paprika and avocado oil. And prepared in...

If you combine beans with corn with the amino acids they each contain you have a complete protein as they are complementary to each other

Well, let's see - as anticipated there was a rather modest turnout for my talk. Always is. But to my delighted surprise here came my friend Bill, the man who is extremely helpful when I have issues writing entries for website. Even more unexpectedly, in comes Arlene, still in her mob cap, long...

@Winchester I'll see you and raise you one - not my story but still a very good one. When Himself was a teenager he had a friend whose family owned a three family apartment house in Brooklyn (which is where he and they and all the others in the group were living at the time.) Anyhow - friend...

1) Finished setting up images for this afternoon's Herbs for Flavor and Fragrance presentation 2) Himself loaded lecturet on flash drive and backup drive 3) Tried it out in the projector - I always have some difficulty getting to the correct starting point 4) Checked laser pointer - it needed...

Today I am working on tomorrow's talk - selecting images, sequentially numbering them . . . usually involves some re-numbering. Very tedious. But I must finish tonight / tomorrow morning so Himself can load them on the card for my digital projector. Push. Shove. Impetus. @Kwik This talk is in...

Let's see . . . this morning we 1) went to the very good (also pricey) farm stand where I bought a bunch each of oregano, spearmint, peppermint and two each of thyme and rosemary. Also some rhubarb and evercrisp apples. 2) stopped at the bank 3) went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription...

What a wonderful outing you had. And an excellent write-up too. Almost feel as if I was there - and really wish I had been. What good memories you collected.

Tonight it we had Costco's frozen Trident Seafoods Alaska Salmon Burgers. I did them in the toaster oven, as always. Wouldn't you know - as I was putting the bag (it's resealable) back in the freezer I happened to notice there are directions for preparing them in an air fryer! Difference? In the...

Absurd overnight temperature of 27.3 degrees Fahrenheit. Flannel sheets going back on the bed. Strip bed, bring to laundry room, into clothes washer and start cycling . . . except the rinse water was barely dribbling into the tub. Called the plumber. His receptionist (wife) said it sounded more...

Domino and Mr Poe catnapping this afternoon

Lions and tigers and bears, oh my, are not house pets. Alaskan sled dogs are not house pets. Shall we wonder, back in the long ago times, what people were saying about their neighbors bringing wild dogs into the house. And how about the Russian foxes that were relatively recently bred for...

Not sure whether this should be here in Air Frying or rather in What's for Dinner. Pays your penny and takes your choice. Let me say that I think they need a better owner's manual. Not all of us want an app. Some of us don't even turn our phones on. However I did persevere. And what we had was...

We went out for lunch to our preferred Mexican restaurant in town. Much better than the new to us one in the next town over where we went last week. I had chile relleno with shredded beef filling and mole sauce, Himself had a taco bowl with chicken. Yummy, for both of us. Walked over to the...
