My wife and I had Shoulder Pork Chops broiled with Lawry's Garlic Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper. She had me add some Kikkoman Soy Sauce and Squeezed Lemon to hers. Also some frozen asparagus steamed in it's own package with some whipped butter on them for taste.

I grilled cheeseburger sliders for supper; super yummy. Also baked more chocolate chip banana bread.

I need to buy a small deep fryer to make future French fries - oven baked fries just aren’t the same!

we had cheese pizza on Thursday night - we buy pizza dough by the individual bag but I’m toying with the idea of using our flour to make dough.

Making a batch of Japanese-style beef stew from NYT Cooking. Simple recipe, barely any one-off ingredients required.

I have the app so will soon seek this one!

I am giving serious thought to getting an air fryer. Similar result to a deep fryer but less dangerous.

I just need to persuade my wife we need one. If I could bin the Tassimo, there would be worktop space for it.

I tried making Ore-Ida Shoestrings in my air fryer the other day. They came out very soggy, not crispy at all. I will not use it for French fries, but the fish sticks and chicken wings came out great.

Last night was scallop gumbo and pureed mushroom soup (both from NYT Cooking). Going to repeat some other recipes for dinner in the upcoming week.

do you think your air fryer is better than a deep fryer?

We took a kids’ cooking course this evening, with parents helping. Chicken piccata and chocolate lava cakes (the Food & Wine recipe). Super yummy and we had fresh angel hair pasta to go with the piccata. I’m excited with this new dish!

we will make cheese pizza on Sunday supper and I’m going to try those japanese fluffy pancakes for Sunday brekky.

Gonna pan fry in olive oil yellow fin tuna steaks to have on top of toasted focaccia bread. Sides of asparagus and broccoli.

Cheese pizza - I used frozen dough from a grocery store with Rao’s pizza sauce and low/skim mozzarella. It’s really so good. I still crave deep dish but I’m extremely satisfied with our thin crust pizza

Halibut was on sale (it almost never is). So...

Halibut grilled over hickory, seasoned with olive oil and lemon pepper
Grilled mixed vegetables (asparagus, onion, green pepper, sugar snap peas) for Mrs. cblaisd (not a fan, myself)
Cranberry-walnut batard bread
For desert, Mrs. cblaisd's homemade vanilla ice cream and chocolate brownies.

Enjoyed while watching the series finale of Homeland.

I had Domino's pizza.

It was bloody awful, to the point I asked the missus to stop me ordering from there again if I suggest it.

They are just miniature convection ovens that are too small. You can get similar results using a regular convection oven.

edit: but if you insist, there is a deal today for $50 for a Cuisinart air fryer. https://slickdeals.net/f/14015549-cu...?src=frontpage

Depending on the cheesesteaks, that sounds delicious.

I cooked a turkey and all of the fixings (green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, gravy, and biscuits) on Sunday, so we had leftovers last night. After having leftovers on Monday and Thursday, we have enough turkey for lunch for one, although we still have plenty of the fixings.

Smoked haddock and spinach risotto. Wonderfully rich and creamy. The problem will be the wine pairing.
