I can fit a baking dish in it so I can use it for many of the things I might want to bake in my oven (lasagna, casserole, small batch of cookies/muffins) but don’t want to heat the entire oven for. It fits a standard frozen pizza, I’ve occasionally baked bread or rolls in it. One of my most frequent uses would be the broiler setting where I just want to quickly brown the top or melt cheese onto something.

One of the drawbacks of my current air fryer is that the fan blows so hard I have to make sure that what I put in there is heavy and secure enough not to get blown around. My son was heating something and put a piece of cheese on it to melt. The cheese was definitely NOT where it was supposed to be when it melted.

Convection toaster ovens have been around for a long time, but for the most part have been “toaster oven plus a little fan.” Air fryers showed up with an emphasis on I’M BLOWING ALLLLL THE HOT AIR!!! I’ll make frozen mini pizzas in my air fryer and have to stab the pepperoni with toothpicks or they end up God knows where lol.

I have both, but would be willing to just have the toaster oven version if it stepped up its blowing game. Until the day comes when one of the appliances craps out on me, I’ll use both.

Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.

For the love of God could you not?

The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

I grew up with “egg in a nest.”

I work in hospice and see a variety of conditions. Some people in their 60’s with significant mobility issues that are chronically exhausted, but then there’s the patients in their 90’s who just recently started cutting back on social events and activities due to injury/illness.

Seeing these differences was why I started roller skating (again) at 49 and increased other activities to keep my ass moving and challenge my coordination and balance. I want to get everything I can out of this life.

I love good cornbread but don’t make it often enough to put the effort into finding a good recipe, so I cheat with a corn casserole. There’s different recipes floating around, but it’s roughly a can of corn, can of creamed corn, sour cream, a box of basic cornbread mix, and a couple eggs. Mix it all together and bake. Sometimes I’ll throw shredded cheddar cheese in the mix, caramelized onions, diced bell peppers, whatever. It’s pretty forgiving and you can just scoop a serving with a spoon lol.

American here - it could be different in other states, but as a parent every year at the beginning of the school year I had to sign a specific form during registration stating whether or not I would permit my child’s photo be taken/published. Yes, it’s going to be a nightmare to track, but the school shouldn’t want the headache of the fall out for not pulling a photo.

Then I’m guessing rubs the residue on his gums. Repeatedly.

Can’t let it go to waste!

I know in many bread baking communities people gush over dark mahogany crusts, but to me this is the perfect level of golden toastiness!

Look up Dylan Hollis! He’s on YouTube and tests old recipes - be warned, he brings a LOT of personality lol. I really enjoy his videos and just picked up his cookbook, Baking Yesteryear.

LD50’s are fun!

I get being curious, but different people have different timelines and levels of comfort when processing their trauma.

If they’re ready to discuss and let you know what happened, they’ll offer the amount of information they’re prepared to share. If they don’t offer, then please respect their space.

Diced and pan fried till crispy, mixed with macaroni and cheese. Absolute comfort food.

A very close second (and much simpler in a pinch) is a pan fried slide on a folded over piece of soft white bread.

Your parents are doing their best with the tools they have, but they’re preparing you for the world they grew up in - not the one you will live in. The things you think are for other people? They’re for you too. You can have them, it’s just going to be a lot of work to get there.

He used the same dreads wig one of the other actors wore in this movie when he played Drexl in True Romance. I love that movie!

I read that in Wallace’s voice.

I can see someone submitting a DNA sample to Ancestry and watching the horror/drama unfold.

What would be worse - finding out the sample came from a missing person, or someone who never offered the donation?

I truly appreciate the fact that I can browse Lemmy for my entertainment, and easily walk away when I need to be an adult and don’t auto smash the button when I open my phone.

To me this is a very, very good thing.
