Has anyone tried cooking with an Air Fryer ?  I would like to hear any suggestions or ideas anyone has run across when using an Air Fryer.
Air fryers are the best. Chicken tastes better. Hell I've even had steak that was fantastic out of it. The seasoning gets infused more into the meat I've found. It's super good. And of course french fries taste like you fried them in oil

Tony’s in Fair Lakes is selling pizza for 25 cents a slice today to celebrate their 25th anniversary in business. The wife and I got there shortly after 11 and they were lined up out the door. We ditched that idea and went over to Michaels to get a picture frame. When we got out the line for Tony’s was down the sidewalk in front of the cleaners and bagel shop.

It’s amazing what people will do for free crap. And it’s not even free. And I bet if you asked these people “will you wait in this line for an hour and at the end I’ll give you three dollars,” no one would do it.

Except of course of the cost to your body's digestive system.

how long is your intestine when it is stretched out?  I've got plenty of room for chicken biscuits.

Tried the Popeye’s chicken sandwich tonight.  It was kind of meh. Too much bread in the bun too. Fires were cold and mushy.  I’m sticking with chick-fil-a.

That was our thought.  But we are sticking to Popeye's spicy chicken

yes, possibly the worst page of the whole thread.  Just scroll for the last 1995Hoo post to find something interesting.

I accidentally bought condensed milk when I meant to buy evaporated milk. I eventually did go and get evaporated milk, but now I have a ton of condensed milk (sweetened) and would love ideas on what to do with it during lockdown/quarantine.

I use it to make Pumpkin pies - personally I think it tastes better than condensed for that purpose.

Vietnamese iced coffee uses condensed milk in place of regular milk- used it sparingly or the result will be sweet as hell, but tastes great and really is refreshing

Mix it with your coffee. Feed it to any undernourished cats.

During the steel strike in 1959 (IIRC), the union was giving away powdered eggs.    Pops and I would wait in line.      I swore at that time to never eat powered food products again.    I may be reconsidering that.

Condensed Milk is great for making desserts.  Here is a great recipe for Chocolate Cheesecake:

Since I’ve got the time, I wanted to try a recipe I always wanted to. Turkish Manti.  Lamb dumplings with three sauces: Brown Butter, Caramelized Tomato sauce and garlic yogurt sauce.
Making the dumplings from scratch is incredibly time consuming.

That sounds pretty good. I’m bookmarking that for some weekend when we have nothing to do.

Funny, we had lamb last night too. My mom came over for dinner and brought a rack of lamb with her. I didn’t do anything fancy to it, just some pink salt and Florida seasoned pepper before grilling it (five minutes over direct medium, then the rest of the time over indirect medium). The Weber iGrill Bluetooth meat thermometer I got last summer worked perfectly—I told it I wanted a target temperature of 130°, and the meat came out just right. It had been a really long time since I’d cooked rack of lamb, which is why I used the thermometer. Had I followed the timing recommendations I had, it would have been undercooked. Tasted really good. My wife made some potatoes and sautéed some asparagus; I can’t stand asparagus, so I didn’t eat that, but she and my mom really liked it.
