Headache begone!

Afaict, air frying is high heat + convection to simulate the effects of deep frying. Works better than I would have guessed.

We don't recommend an air-fryer.

I actually have a convection oven with an air fry setting - the first one they list, in fact. Feeling good about that purchase right now.

Although we can probably all agree that none of us needs to eat 5,000 potato chips, which is what I like to do!

I am prettttty sure I actually do need 5,000 potato chips.

I definitely need 5,000 potato chips, as long as they're kettle-cooked.

It sounds to me like it would be really hard to maintain, since my regular breakfast is either toast with pb or oatmeal.

I'm basically not paying attention to carbs, but I still eat an egg for breakfast every day.

I hard-boil a bunch of eggs on Sunday so I can eat an egg with my breakfast every morning. I just really do better with a good serving of protein with my oatmeal in the morning, and protein powder (for some reason) wasn't cutting it.

We have a brand over here that's currently doing limited-edition lime and chilli. I usually manage to avoid the crisps for my noms, but clearly that's just a thoroughly unreasonable expectation at the moment.

Mmmm, chile and lime.

Oh wow, I have never heard of roasting radishes but that sounds delicious. Now I must try!

Yum, potato chips.

Earlier I went to the store to buy something to drink and ended up getting a few other things, including deciding to make black rice pudding with coconut milk. Delicious but now I have like, a VAT of it.

Also problematic: felt so awful I tried to go to bed at 7pm. Managed to sleep a bit, feel a bit better...but now I'm wide awake at this hour. Oops.

I refuse to judge people's potatotarian life choices.

Yet another reason to be sad you are thousands of miles away.

I bought the air fryer with the notion that it wouldn't heat up the kitchen as much as alternate means of roasting stuff. That would probably be true if I used it more. I have a batch of broccoli to air fry for lunch. I tossed it with a little bit of olive oil and orange zest so we'll see how it goes. DH has agreed that eating the main meal around 1-2 would be better than in the evening because it so often ends up being later than I would like to eat by the time we finish work. So dinner today around 1:30 will be the swordfish stuffed with sauteed spinach and broccoli described above, both of which I prepped last night but never cooked because it was too late by the time he finished work. See a pattern here!

Walked in the rain for about 3/4 mile with Zoe this morning because she flat out refuses to go out by herself in the rain. There were a surprising number of people with dogs out at 6:30 in the morning. I suspect I was not the only one that couldn't get their doggo to do their business yesterday in the rain.

My oatmeal requirement this morning was met with the leftover pumpkin muffins from yesterday. For the no flour people: 1-1/2 cps oats, 1/2 cp pumpkin, 1/4 cp maple syrup, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 cp craisins. Mix it all together and bake for 10 min at 350 in muffin tins. Makes 12 that the recipe claims will last a couple weeks in the fridge, but that won't happen here.

Okay, enough putting off getting to work. Good Monday to all!
