My cousin moved to Canada over 2 decades ago. During this time, he got married. I always assumed he was there legally until my Dad died during the pandemic, and he disclosed the fact that if he left, he couldn’t get back in, due to not having legal status to be there. I am not understanding that: he has medication…

She taught at the fancy Private HS where both my sisters went. (I chose to go to the local PUBLIC HS, which actually was ranked better educationally.) I know she stayed associated with the school, which was ~ 22 miles past NYC toward CT. I remember meeting her when she was a REALLY old lady and thinking she was really…

You could be on to something there. :) Just wanted to warn folks, even if it WAS just coincidence, before anyone accused me of causing them gastric distress. The bananas were delicious regardless. :) And I had NEVER heard of the hot honey risk until I mentioned what happened to another gastric-impaired friend, who…

I LOVE those, but they are VERY different from air fried bananas! Two hints for maduros: if you can find Chiquita brand (I get them at Aldi,) they are actually superior to Goya. And two, use parchment under maduros in the air fryer, as they get sticky and you have a nasty clean up otherwise. I think it’s 380 for 8…

I do suffer IBS, so it could have been coincidental. But apparently, there was a TikTok challenge involving hot honey that was giving participants the runs. I ate 2 bananas, chopped into quarters, coated in honey, dredged in panko, and air fried. They were really yummy. I think the amount in tea (or hot water...the…

I make faux banana fritters in the ait fryer by tossing panko with some sugar, and coating them similar to how you would anything else you panko cover.

Got my # in 98. It still has a 301 area code, something they ran out of for cell #s in like 99. Have been in the 941 area code for 18+ years now.

I use my dough scraper to cut square biscuits, then reform the edges into a ball. That “scrap” biscuit never rises like the others. Somewhere I read that clean cuts are the secret to a good rise, and looking at the scrap biscuit vs the clean cut edge one, that appears to be true.  But the scrap biscuit is also another…

Five Guys does a good job of getting a Doordashed burger to you hot. But if you order it with lettuce, that lettuce will be a soggy wilted thing by the time it reaches you. ;) I have learned to forgo lettuce if I know a burger will sit for any length of time, although I do enjoy it when I can put it on myself right…

We could have gas/charcoal grills on the deck of my old townhouse in Silver Spring, but ONLY because we were zones as single family houses, rather than as townhouses, and we had the fireproof wood for the decks. It had something to do with our firewalls being above and beyond that we got zoned as SF. My current…

A TON of Cities, mine included, just adapt the NFPA code, but anything suggested becomes law. My condo association had a rule re: grills on deck, along with some other non-kosher rules, so I lead the task of cleaning up illegal rules. Our Code Enforcement guy was an acquaintance...he could find nothing in code about…

I THINK that was the State Slogan back when Elkton was lined with chapels...lol.

My late Dad’s company worked with a couple of vineyards in Chile and Argentina to import some Organic Wines. (Their wines were the 1st Organic Wine that Publix carried.) Organic Wines can contain natural sulfites, as can any “fermented” food or beverage. I was surprised when I had a sulfite-type reaction to one of…

I do the shake thing with the leftover piece of Cold Stone Ice Cream Cake I inevitably find in the back of the freezer a month or so after my birthday, all freezer burned. Not so good to eat as is, but it does make a great shake!

What I was told is that the US recognizes “quickie marriages,” but not so much “quickie divorces.” I wanted to go out of state or to DR to avoid the MD waiting period, and I was advised those quickie divorces cause issues later.  This was in MD, which is easier to get married in than LV, which is why in old movies/TV…

You’re under 50 aren’t you?

I keep those cheap canned hams in my Storm Kit, and at the end of storm season, since I got an air fryer, I chop the ham into chunks and air fry them with green beans...makes a crappy ham actual yum. So I have no doubt spam gives a similar effect when air fried.

Used to work in a high rise office tower with a Pizza Hut down the block. Mo one did the buffet because it was a great deal or anything. A personal pan pizza was cheaper, and you’re not going to down more than a pie on a 30 minute lunch break. But that Personal Pan Pizza could take 20 of those valuable minutes just to…

What you are describing may be true for the larger fests, but with a lot of smaller ones, like Magnolia Fest or Gathering of the Vibes, it may work differently.

Could you do this in small, silicon muffin tin liners if you do not have enough chicken or enough room for a big muffin tin?
