Dinner is becoming a major ordeal and a big clusterfuck. The airfryer is kind of dead.. it still works but the latch that keeps the basket and the handle together is broken and I didn't realize that until I started cooking so I'm having to very carefully juggle taking it out. And since I picked a recipe for a larger air fryer I'm having to do things in batches.. it's supposed to be boneless country ribs and I bought bone in by mistake so I'm hoping it will cook right.
And then I mentioned making stuffed peppers as a side (vegetarian ones) but decided not to since M wanted to make baked potatoes and corn and I didn't want to try and juggle something else but I ended up makign it anyway.And I was trying to flip between 2 recipes on my phone and mis read the pepper one.
First it was way to damn complicated and required using a saucepan, stock pot, and a skillet and an insert for the skillet to put the peppers on to steam. But I used half the amount of rice by accident so it's very very very cheesy. I have no idea if it will taste good. I decided the peppers were cooked enough, the rice is cooked so I just wiped out the skillet I sauted onions in and then filled the peppers, put a lid on it and let the residual heat do any more cooking.
Its supposed to be 1 cup of uncooked rice and 2 cups of grated cheese. But I accidenntlly did 1/2 cup of uncooked rice.
I have to answer my cell since calls to my work number are forwarded. On my landline (yes, I still have one) I can ignore all but my parents and the building com/buzzer system.
I don't answer the phone unless I recognize the caller, but I've been getting a lot more calls (that I don't answer).
I mean it's obviously the political season.
Unrelatedly, xkcd on a subject near to all our hearts:

Nice to see you, Nilly! Have a blessed holiday.
Steph, I hadn't considered it but since you said it, it seems like a good idea.
Lots of ~ma for B, Laura.
Verizon sent me a text that they were doing something about spam calls and also iPhones are doing something but I didn't really pay attention. I don't seem to be getting many, or seeing them anyway. I do theoretically still have a landline but I'm not sure the phone is plugged in...hasn't rung in a long time...
I don't think I am ready to process that xkcd
My kids know about the buffistas and have free use of the internet but also find their parents deeply boring, as is normal for teenagers.
Heh
Brief chat with my grandboss re: stuff going on with one of my accounts that may potentially make it less of a headache in the future. We shall see. One of the things I know we tried to do before and there were problems that I'm not sure ever got resolved...well, at least I got a chance to point that out before it goes live, and maybe there's a fix I don't know about
