Next successful test of the air fryer: Slow roasted pork belly (90 minutes at 120C) from an offer at Lidl. It was already marinated but skinles so testing if I can get good crackling will have to wait. With new potatoes, steamed tenderstem broccoli and a cider sauce made from the roasting juices.

I'm not shy about the fact that anytime I have to be "on" playing #TTRPGs I'm nervous, but I do hope you'll pop by to hang out. @gaarawarr.bsky.social doesn't have "in game incentives" for donations but that's not to say he won't be reading chat's intrusive thoughts! Donate: tilt.fyi/qxZVkPPuNa 💖

Note, Meta faces publishers' lawsuits alleging it torrented pirated books from shadow libraries to train its AI. Trial date was set just yesterday for May 3, 2027. Meta looks to now be trying to write sweeping website scraping rights into its terms. Quite a coincidence. Or a wake-up call, all. 4/5

for upkeep, cleaning, utilities, food and other consumables, regular holidays and restaurant trips, private health care etc. for the next 30 or so years I have left, I'd still have enough left to do the same for at least a dozen of friends. It's a bonkers amount of money.

3) a fully equipped photo studio 4) a couple of en-suite spare rooms for friends to crash 5) a herb and veg garden incl. greenhouse and gardener 6) modern efficiency features like solar roofing and windows, insulation, low emission etc. would run to 2mil easily. Even if I put another 2mil aside

I'm fascinated by the odd spelling on the menu (e.g. seconni instead of secondi and dorci instead of dolci). My Italian studies were over 30 years ago and IIRC we never looked at dialects.

Turned the roasted squash with added confit garlic and veg stock from a cube into soup, finished with a swirl of Greek yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon. It's delicious, if I may say so myself.
Orange soup with some Greek yoghurt swirled into it in grey/blue bowl on a dark brown wood effect counter.

Apparently the hot new rationalization in pissy right-wing creator circles as to why they're not as financially or culturally successful as they ought to be is that their IQs are all 30 points too high for the normies to understand their creations, and, oh, honey, I assure you, that's so not it

It's not big enough for a full roast but a couple of thighs/drumsticks will fit fine (not big on breast meat, anyway). My existing hob is a full size (four spots) one and it still works fine so replacing that isn't a priority. I also have two pans I use regularly that won't work with induction.

And just to prove my brain isn't what it used to be, I should have used the oil from the confit garlic. *sigh* I'm going to add some of the garlic into the soup, anyway.

My main reason for getting one is that my oven doesn't work anymore and getting a new one would be too expensive. I mainly cook on the hob, anyway. Mine would be too small for a whole chicken (it's only 2l) but there will be drumsticks/thighs in the future as will chips/wedges.

Bought a cheap, small air fryer and have been testing it. So far I made confit garlic and cheese on toast. Right now I'm roasting a chopped up butternut squash in it. According to my smart meter, it uses less energy than the microwave/grill and even the hob, so I'll be using it a lot.

There are stretches of place we instinctively feel are haunted. Long before we hear the story of phantom grey lady or discarnate chanting of skipping rhymes, we know to walk them would be to tread ghost soil. Our psychic skin itches with spectral anticipation. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts
