I can fit a baking dish in it so I can use it for many of the things I might want to bake in my oven (lasagna, casserole, small batch of cookies/muffins) but don't want to heat the entire oven for. It fits a standard frozen pizza, I've occasionally baked bread or rolls in it. One of my most frequent uses would be the broiler setting where I just want to quickly brown the top or melt cheese onto something.

One of the drawbacks of my current air fryer is that the fan blows so hard I have to make sure that what I put in there is heavy and secure enough not to get blown around. My son was heating something and put a piece of cheese on it to melt. The cheese was definitely NOT where it was supposed to be when it melted.

Convection toaster ovens have been around for a long time, but for the most part have been "toaster oven plus a little fan." Air fryers showed up with an emphasis on I'M BLOWING ALLLLL THE HOT AIR!!!! I'll make frozen mini pizzas in my air fryer and have to stab the pepperoni with toothpicks or they end up God knows where lol.

I have both, but would be willing to just have the toaster oven version if it stepped up its blowing game. Until the day comes when one of the appliances craps out on me, I'll use both.

I'm not exactly sure what they're spraying, but it's still a regular thing where I live. I'm on the edge of suburbs/country south west of Chicago.

Someone leaves me out of a group chat due to the color of my text bubble, I doubt there was any benefit to being included in the conversation anyway.

For the love of God could you not?

Braising low and slow would be a better method. It won't completely break down, but the rest of the connective tissue should melt in your mouth.

Is stepson aerosol like knock off store brand aerosol? It's it also red headed?

Not only that, but no matter whether it can identify a person as a person, cars shouldn't be driving over objects that are child sized or larger.

The urethra is still separate from the digestive system though.

I grew up with "egg in a nest."

I work in hospice and see a variety of conditions. Some people in their 60's with significant mobility issues that are chronically exhausted, but then there's the patients in their 90's who just recently started cutting back on social events and activities due to injury/illness.

Seeing these differences was why I started roller skating (again) at 49 and increased other activities to keep my ass moving and challenge my coordination and balance. I want to get everything I can out of this life.

I would kill that with some Nutella.

I had a cat years ago that would lose her shit over carrots. To the point when putting my groceries away after shopping, I'd catch her trying to chew and claw through the plastic grocery bag to get to them. I can only imagine they made her happy like catnip because she'd play and chew on them if I gave her one.

I love good cornbread but don't make it often enough to put the effort into finding a good recipe, so I cheat with a corn casserole. There's different recipes floating around, but it's roughly a can of corn, can of creamed corn, sour cream, a box of basic cornbread mix, and a couple eggs. Mix it all together and bake. Sometimes I'll throw shredded cheddar cheese in the mix, caramelized onions, diced bell peppers, whatever. It's pretty forgiving and you can just scoop a serving with a spoon lol.

American here - it could be different in other states, but as a parent every year at the beginning of the school year I had to sign a specific form during registration stating whether or not I would permit my child's photo be taken/published. Yes, it's going to be a nightmare to track, but the school shouldn't want the headache of the fall out for not pulling a photo.

Serious question.

Following the assumption that it's not food safe plastic, what is the actual risk that we're talking about here? I get that there's many variables (length of time/temp of contact, porousness and moisture content of food, etc) but let's say that the variety of foods were stored in a cooler for 4 hours prior to consumption. To do this 3x a year, what are the risks? Obviously this set up left in the car during the summer for 8hrs before eating would be a REALLY bad idea, but wondering where it starts crossing the line from insignificant risk to "you should really think twice."

I remember years ago Mythbusters tested the "5 second rule" and contamination really had much more to do with what was making contact vs how long.

I wish upon you a bag of dicks which you should eat in its entirety, for having made my look at that ass. Twice.

Then I'm guessing rubs the residue on his gums. Repeatedly.

Can't let it go to waste!

In my 51 years I've never seen mold grow in a freezer. Preferably a mycologist would chime in to clarify if there are any molds that grow under those circumstances.

My guess is that 1) there was a supply chain issue where the product wasn't held at the right temp long enough for it to mold, then continued on its journey to a home freezer. Or 2) "Oops! I bought too many groceries and can't fit everything in the freezer. I'll just throw this box in the fridge (and proceed to forget it exists.)"

I was born in 1971. I can't speak for all of Gen X, but my experience growing up in the 80s is that I was presented with "everything's fine, you just need to get a job and it'll all work out." So that's what I did, and got nowhere fast. Married too early to the wrong person because pooling our resources seemed to be the only way out, then still struggled to get anywhere. Everything pointed to "I guess we're just not trying hard enough." Follow this with depression, divorce, working multiple jobs at a time to keep a roof over my head...

I think plenty of Gen X were just on the the earlier edge of the wave that became what it is today.
