After journaling, i did some intentional *playing* with the thing yesterday. Admittedly, we're playing more with the air fryer than anything else. I did boil eggs, but then i made french fries from scratch, Christine fixed the veggie bacon in it (major improvement over the microwave results), and i "grilled" a sandwich i it (which was only marginally easier than in a pan, but wow, perfect golden bread compared to me always burning one side).

Since the massive thing is sitting out, maybe i'll be motivated to doing more legumes. I have very old chickpeas for hummus and the wild beans i've been growing: i suppose i will get to those once i finish the black eyed peas from New Years.
