    Air Frying

    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.

    Question of the Day, Sunday April, 14th

    My mother used to make jams and jellies. So of course I followed suit. To the point where I've taught classes. And wrote a book.

    Eww cat ate own vomit.

    How is an animal without hands supposed to bring food back to its young except in its stomach. Eagles do this. So do penguins. Wolves do it. Dogs do this. As it mentions in the bible, Proverbs 26:11-12, Like a dog that returns to its vomit, a fool does the same foolish things again and again.
