Adventures in Air Frying

Hobbies?


I've had my air fryer for many months. And I first got it with a menu in mind and it was delicious! But then I never touched it again. So when I moved back in with my parents and since I'm stuck at home for 7 days in a row, twice a month I figured it was a good time to hone my skills.




So I made air fryer donuts... Basically I took Pillsbury biscuits and fried them and then put cinnamon sugar on them. They were delicious but kind of heavy. Like Next time I'll probably cut them in half to make them thinner. But I'm practicing so I can try different ways and recipes.


Later that week I made fried zucchini. I cut zucchini into "fries" and dipped them in egg yolk and then in a mixture of parmesan, bread crumbs, and a seasoning that I can't remember off the top of my head (maybe oregano?) Anyway then I fried it for 7 minutes on each side but when I put them in the basket a lot of the breading came off so it wasn't the consistency that I like when I order from restaurants. They still tasted good though. I ended up eating them all which wasn't my plan. I was planning on saving half...


For this next week I'm going to make beignets and baked potatoes and maybe fried mushrooms.

Baby is real

I think I felt the baby move. It was very trippy. But very cool as well. We also found out recently that it's a girl. I'm having a baby girl. Now that I'm showing and feeling it and can shop for it, it all seems more real. This isn't going to be a long post because there isn't a lot to say. I'm really not doing much but growing a human is enough for me I guess. So we've started shopping. We have a crib, a bassinet and some artwork for the nursery. Also we just have a bunch of cute clothes. Not anything real big although she's going to be born in winter. The next step is a carseat stroller combo. Any suggestions? Basically I want just a bunch of black or grey onsies for her easy clothes and then sweats and leggings to wear over them.

Oregon

This was an adventure in a weird way. It was supposed to just be me hanging out with my brother and getting him out to explore the place that he's lived in for 6 months. It kind of worked... However I flew into Portland and he lives in Medford... That's a 4 hour drive. He told me that he would pick me up and I convinced him to spend the night before I left to come back in Portland. Also since Dylan took the whole time I was there off I asked if we could drive out to the coast and see the ocean. It was not a short drive. So basically Dylan drove the 4 hours to Portland picked me up and we drove back and it took us about 10 hours to get home. But Oregon is so pretty! I've been lucky to not drive myself but to spend a lot of time in the car just exploring. The next day we were going to go hiking but we ended up just watching TV (sleeping through 11 episode of a TV show.) We must have needed it though because we were both in and out of conciousness. I really felt like I had a g...

Buffy 4

Remember when I was only watching Buffy and I was like I think I'll go through this show too fast so be ready... Well here's the next installment. I watched this a lot slower because I pretty much stopped watching TV... I know! But the fourth season of Buffy was just as good as the others even without Angel. Pretty quickly we meet Riley who is obviously only there to be with Buffy. He's also very attractive in a very different way. Riley has that QB look over that dark and broody look. But Riley isn't as innocent as he seems... It turns out that Riley is living a double life and soon drags Buffy into it. This season has of course; Buffy, Willow, and Xander but also we see a little of Giles, Oz, Spike, and Xander's new girlfriend Anya. But it's still very different than the other seasons. Buffy seems a lot more on her own. Everyone kind of has their own thing going on and it made it not as fun to watch. No offense to the individual characters but I wat...
