Inconsequentials

Last night I had a very vivid dream in which I lost my Costco card. I emptied out my wallet looking for it. My wallet had all kinds of shit in it. It was my real life wallet but I keep my real life wallet with the bare minimum contents and this thing had all kinds of old coupons and crap in it. In the dream, I finally remembered that my Costco card is in the car where I keep it in real life.

The dream was so real that it was freaky and all day I keep revisiting it for some reason that makes no sense.

I used my air fryer tonight for the first time in a really long time. I cooked breaded chicken and french fries in it. The chicken would have been as good or better in a regular oven. The french fries, however, were excellent.

I love french fries. But maybe not enough to justify the counter space that the air fryer takes up. I think ljtourist said, last time I mused about getting rid of it, that he wouldn't mind taking it off my hands. It is likely I will not see or talk to him much before next January so... hmmmm I think I'll find room for it out in the terrace cupboards and get my counter space back.

I did not buy enough yarn for the crochet sweater. I realized it last weekend and ordered 3 more skeins which should be enough but they aren't here yet. I'm about to start my last skein. I think there may be a sweater interuptus while we wait for the shipment.

I wasn't so sure about our air fryer when we got it... it was a Christmas gift from my mom and I was sort of excited to get to try a few things, since I'd read your post about using one, but figured I'd be passing it along to someone else fairly quickly. We use that thing probably once a week... I've discovered I can make fried okra in it, plus french fries.... and fried fish! We do have the advantage of having a huge closet with lots of shelves for storage, just across from the kitchen, so it doesn't have to stay taking up space on a countertop all the time (although it's a bit unwieldy to haul out, but I'd rather have it tucked away if I can). Even with the cool stuff we can make in it, I suspect we would have gotten rid of it awhile ago, if we hadn't had that storage option.

Yeah, it's demise here was a real estate issue in the end :)

The idea of having an air fryer interests me, but where to put it is a big problem. I have very little counter space and it is all full.

Exactly my situation. Counter real estate has to be earned and the air fryer wasn't pulling its weight. I thought, since it doesn't put out a lot of heat, that I would use it a lot in the Summer. I didn't use it once.
