bickster Posted January 31, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2023 This doesn't really piss me off but I guess this is the best place for it all the same. The missus cooked our meal tonight mostly in the new dual air fryer On one side she was cooking the fishcakes on the other sweet potato wedges So she peels and cuts the sweet pots and then puts them in a glass bowl and it just baffles me why she does this, it serves no function whatsoever. Either leave them on the chopping board or put them in the air fryer Next she puts on the fishcakes and five minutes later she goes back to put on the wedges, transfering them from the utterly pointless bowl, into the air fryer and starts cooking them. One of the selling points of the airfryer is that you can put on two different things that require two different cooking times on at the same time by using the sync function and it will start the quicker cooking side at the appropriate time so they both finish at the same time Just baffles me how she creates extra work for herself for no good reason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was great for the nurses because it only took half of them to anchor it down and saved the NHS 6 salaries for 15 mins. That's a joke about having a big knob and it taking 12 nurses to hold it. When in actual fact it took a tiny bit of surgical tape to stick it to my abdomen. Which was really annoying because I kept getting it stuck under my chin. That was another joke, it went to about 1/2 inch in length The smell of burning testicles was unusual though. Not entirely unpleasant. Sounds like jokes about a small knob to me. Only 12 nurses and only stuck under your chin? Pfft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yeah you can cook this dinner in 15 minutes, excluding the half hour prep time and leaving the kitchen looking like a blast zone afterwards. Nice one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 The best version of my daughter is when my grandson isn't here, and the best version of my grandson is when my daughter isn't here. Here being the family home, my daughter lives here and my grandson lives here every other week. Now my daughter feels guilt at splitting up with her partner and so becomes my grandsons friend, and not a parent, its a distinct change and its irritating, me and my wife have to do the parenting, the reading, the homework, getting ready, all of that. My daughter pretty much has her life together, and does all of the art stuff, the fun shit, but not the mundane but needs to be done stuff. Now when his mum isn't around, my grandson is awesome, well behaved, doesn't take the piss, does everything first time, polite, funny, The chosen one! He changes when his mum is around and knows he can, will, and does, take the piss. So yeah, that pisses me off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know air fryers (I love mine) cut down a lot on oil, but if you want them extra crispy you can coat them in a little oil. The sync thing makes no sense, I agree. On a side note, tell her to get an Instant Pot (combined pressure cooker, rice cooker, everything cooker). It's literally changed my life. I can get real cheap cuts of meat now, and in less than an hour they are falling off the bone. Edited February 1, 2023 by HKP90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshVilla Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I swear that Yorkshire Tea teabags aren't as strong as the used to be. I normally have the whole "separating teabags" business down to a tee (lol), but I've ripped 3 of the bastards this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinker Posted February 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2023 On the theme of food and doing my head in, why do restaurants put the beans/chips in separate cups and then place them on your plate next to the other parts of the meal. The cups base has probably been sitting on some dirty surface and then introduced to your eating surface, the plate ! What purpose does it serve? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I allow Mrs Sidcow to get to a take away carton such as Curry or a Chinese, she places them in top of the plate for reasons I cannot fathom. I do always wonder where they've been stood awaiting filling and packing. Probably my fault for buying food from rat infested hell holes.
