I can fit a baking dish in it so I can use it for many of the things I might want to bake in my oven (lasagna, casserole, small batch of cookies/muffins) but don’t want to heat the entire oven for. It fits a standard frozen pizza, I’ve occasionally baked bread or rolls in it. One of my most frequent uses would be the broiler setting where I just want to quickly brown the top or melt cheese onto something.

One of the drawbacks of my current air fryer is that the fan blows so hard I have to make sure that what I put in there is heavy and secure enough not to get blown around. My son was heating something and put a piece of cheese on it to melt. The cheese was definitely NOT where it was supposed to be when it melted.

Convection toaster ovens have been around for a long time, but for the most part have been “toaster oven plus a little fan.” Air fryers showed up with an emphasis on I’M BLOWING ALLLLL THE HOT AIR!!! I’ll make frozen mini pizzas in my air fryer and have to stab the pepperoni with toothpicks or they end up God knows where lol.

I have both, but would be willing to just have the toaster oven version if it stepped up its blowing game. Until the day comes when one of the appliances craps out on me, I’ll use both.

For a real vitamin c boost cut the milk with orange juice!

I’m not exactly sure what they’re spraying, but it’s still a regular thing where I live. I’m on the edge of suburbs/country south west of Chicago.

I’ll take the time to look at these after work, but I wanted to briefly chime in.

Co-morbidities or not, we have been aware since the beginning (well before the vaccines were available) that some people continued to have lingering symptoms and suffered other types of damage due to having contracted the virus. For example - an athletic coworker in her early 40s contracted it August 2020, and to this day continues to have heart problems. I work in hospice, and while the numbers are lower than they were over the last few years, we still regularly get patients entering hospice due to damage from COVID.

I have yet to come across a patient who needed hospice services due to a vaccine.

If I’m going to take a “risk” on anything, it’ll be the vaccine.

No.

Having it can lead to long term damage (lungs, heart, etc.) even if you survive and mostly recover.

Early on they were able to show that people who got the 2 dose initial vaccine showed protection longer than those that were sick with COVID. Again, without the risk of long term organ/system damage.

Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.

Pretty sure this is saved from an attachment from a forwarded email of a scan of a photo copy of a mimeograph.

For the love of God could you not?

Braising low and slow would be a better method. It won’t completely break down, but the rest of the connective tissue should melt in your mouth.

“Hipsters and coffee snobs” aren’t the target audience and the vast majority have probably never tried it. It’s a flex for rich people that have more money than sense.

Is stepson aerosol like knock off store brand aerosol? It’s it also red headed?

Not only that, but no matter whether it can identify a person as a person, cars shouldn’t be driving over objects that are child sized or larger.

The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

I grew up with “egg in a nest.”

I work in hospice and see a variety of conditions. Some people in their 60’s with significant mobility issues that are chronically exhausted, but then there’s the patients in their 90’s who just recently started cutting back on social events and activities due to injury/illness.

Seeing these differences was why I started roller skating (again) at 49 and increased other activities to keep my ass moving and challenge my coordination and balance. I want to get everything I can out of this life.

I would kill that with some Nutella.

I had a cat years ago that would lose her shit over carrots. To the point when putting my groceries away after shopping, I’d catch her trying to chew and claw through the plastic grocery bag to get to them. I can only imagine they made her happy like catnip because she’d play and chew on them if I gave her one.

I love good cornbread but don’t make it often enough to put the effort into finding a good recipe, so I cheat with a corn casserole. There’s different recipes floating around, but it’s roughly a can of corn, can of creamed corn, sour cream, a box of basic cornbread mix, and a couple eggs. Mix it all together and bake. Sometimes I’ll throw shredded cheddar cheese in the mix, caramelized onions, diced bell peppers, whatever. It’s pretty forgiving and you can just scoop a serving with a spoon lol.

American here - it could be different in other states, but as a parent every year at the beginning of the school year I had to sign a specific form during registration stating whether or not I would permit my child’s photo be taken/published. Yes, it’s going to be a nightmare to track, but the school shouldn’t want the headache of the fall out for not pulling a photo.
