The Aussies have more than deadly creatures! I love this trio.

And......... Another weekend gone.
Hope everyone air fried to their hearts content.
How's your mom, dog? Still at the hospital or have they moved her to rehab?
Working at Great clips, not sure if that's a thing outside of Ohio or not. Chain salon that only does haircuts, doing 5-6 days a week there and my days off are usually spent helping my uncle with his business.Morning, knuckles!
Up early getting ready for school hours, I have to get back into the habit......lol Also up because I was thinking about Jimmy and wanted to text him for a safe trip to Pittsburgh and for good test results. Hopefully, I'll be posting later with some decent news.
Taking Mike for coffee at a new place down the road because it's his last day of vacation and then I'm off to the school to tackle my room........I hope after 3 days of this, I might be able to enjoy a long weekend before the madness starts.
Enjoy your "weekend", @always9988 Where are you working? It seems like you are working a lot these days.
You have to give yourself those days @DogMan . You won't be any good for her if you don't take care of yourself, too. Does she seem to be eating any better, though?
Those weekends sure do go fast, @2pak2zero . I hope you have a good week!
Honestly I was afraid that I was spending money on another gadget that I would use a few times and then put away, but I was wrong. I ended up getting a second one because the first one wasn't big enough, and many if not most nights I have them both going at once. There are a couple of FB groups with tons of great recipes and hints and lot's of help to get you started.I think you have me sold on it and I have picked out the fryer I want. Don't know what I am waiting for. Finances never really get much better and I always find a way to "make it work".
I read this after I ordered one. I hope I can care for it well enough not to need a ceramic based one in the future!! Even if the coating is damaged, it should still be good to use, right? Also, I did read about parchment paper liners that help with clean up and that might help save the coating?Honestly I was afraid that I was spending money on another gadget that I would use a few times and then put away, but I was wrong.

I have stomach troubles and a lot of foods don't agree with me at all, I'm finding that cooking in the AF seems to take care of that. Be sure to pick up a couple of oil misters, not PAM, to fill with your favorite oils to spray on things you want fried. The aerosol cooking sprays will leave a residue and eventually ruin the non stick because they contain silicone. I use light olive oil, clear cooking coconut oil, and avacado oil.
I keep reading that the Phillips, which is top recommendation onlline, smokes if you cook high fat meat in it, my Farberware warns about smoking if cooking high fat meats as well, but I have had no problem with Chicken wings, legs, and thighs. Apparently this does not apply to all though because many are cooking sausage and bacon with great results and no smoke in other brands. There are some concerns about the nonstick flaking so you do have to be very careful of it, but some are starting to change over to ceramic nonstick, so far only one has that I know of and it's Paula Deen's on Evine, but others are planning to release new ones this fall.
OK end of infomercial. lol
Steph I hope you get good news from your brother, Dog I'm sorry your mum is having health issues, and 22 I hope K's pain goes away soon.
Please update as soon as you have info on Jimmy. Prayers go with him to Pittsburgh. He sure has had a fight of it.Morning, knuckles!

I forgot to get an oil mister. Hopefully I can get one locally without going to one of those specialty shops. Not only are they too expensive, I get tempted by way too many shiny things! I think I was a ferret in another life!
Hey, guys............I just got a call from my brother. He had a longer appt. with the doctor than he expected. When they discovered the kidney tumor they removed it AND the kidney it was attached to. He sees a kidney specialist twice a year because he only has 1 remaining.........Well, the scans showed "a low density area" on the remaining kidney. Up until now, everything with that kidney looked normal and doctors were very impressed with it's 100% functioning......so, now he has to go tomorrow to get an ultra sound of that kidney tomorrow morning. It may be nothing.....It may be something....He should know something by Wed. or Thurs. (he hopes). I'm a mess. I was good with him on the phone and then I totally lost it when I hung up. I'm good now, but will ask for even more prayers that it is nothing to be concerned about.




no words, but sending hugs and positive thoughts to all of youOK, so take a deep breath. This may be nothing as you stated. You can start worrying when you know something definitive. I know, I know, this is easier said than done. Just keep praying. I know I will.Hey, guys............I just got a call from my brother. He had a longer appt. with the doctor than he expected.

Thoughts and prayers for you all and your families.Lots of health issues recently. My step dad (raised me) had a stroke yesterday. Talked with him late last night a bit. He was slow and struggled for some words, but overall a big improvement from earlier.
Good, healing thoughts all around from SLC.

So sorry to hear this. I seem to keep saying these words, but I mean it sincerely. I am glad he is already improving. That is a very good sign (from my limited experience).

You have to give yourself those days @DogMan . You won't be any good for her if you don't take care of yourself, too. Does she seem to be eating any better, though?
no
she's arguing with te doctors, who say tey won't release her from acute ward until she eats, she insists force feeding is unhealthy

quack approving new clothes is huge, he usually disowns me a couple of days
Quack has good taste! Mom needs to eat and learn how to manage her diabetes. You may tell her that I have so ordered!! LOL. I am certain she will really give a good rat's behind about that! Mom's are special people but they can be very hard headed. I know.no

tuesday was good, i think you'll like it
mum has an infection, which explains the confusion shes experiencing


Thing is I hate to cook and I'm having a blast with this thing. You do need to follow some guidelines at least at first, but if you want to keep it super easy you can.Afternoon Knucklebutts,
So sorry to hear about all the health issues going on. All my love and thoughts for strength and healing going out to you guys.
I'd love one of those donuts. You guys have me considering one of those air fryers...but I supposed I'd have to use recipes and make an effort even if I got one, so my food would probably still suck since I'm just too lazy. If you can find me a gadget that does the cooking for me, let me know.
Are you sure you don't like to cook? That sounds rather involved, lolThing is I hate to cook and I'm having a blast with this thing. You do need to follow some guidelines at least at first, but if you want to keep it super easy you can.
Frozen fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, fish filets, chicken strips, pizza pockets, all come out way way better than they do in an oven. Those donuts were canned biscuits, patted down to donut size with the hole cut out, a little cinnamon sugar with nutmeg and ginger sprinked on top then spritzed with a little coconut oil. 6 minutes or so in the air fryer and they were donuts, just dip in some glaze and viola.
