oil sprayer

The Stormcooker™️ came with a little rack and 5 skewers and, although there are a whack of accessories out there that you can buy for air fryers, this seemed sufficient. Until I realised how handy it would be to be able to SPRAY OIL on various food items (especially as so many recipes say “spray with oil…”). So I had a look on amazon and there were so many kinds of oil sprayers it made me dizzy. Eventually I found this one in a shop around the corner from me and I liked that it also doubled as a cruet. AND it’s cute! However, although it sprayed water just fine (while I was washing it) it actually squirts out oil in a hard stream. Not exactly the effect I was hoping for. Maybe it’s because I’m using olive oil? Perhaps a lighter oil would spray? On the other hand, those promo pics definitely show OLIVES next to the sprayer. Whatevs.

doohickey

Some days it’s all about the little things. When the flatmate moved back in probably the most cumbersome thing he brought over was his electric fan, which he took apart to transport. At the beginning of summer it turned out that a couple of vital pieces were missing, a big screw that secured the pole to the base, and the doohickey that secured the fan blade to the motor. Well imagine how clever I felt when, after putting the new cat stand together in June, I thought to try one of the big screws from the old stand on the base of Peter’s fan and… hey it worked! The pole fit right in and was secure. It was actually at that moment we realised that the doohickey was also missing. Fuck. Since then the fan has been in Peter’s room, standing there half assembled, doing nothing. Until today!

meatballs galore

I don’t remember when I started making meatballs like this but today I was doing some meatball prep and put these pics up on my instagram and twitter (because, hey why not) and apparently I’m a genius. Or at least Simon thinks so.  🙂

caturday july 10 2022

When I first brought Azar home (see below) Sunny immediately took to him and they became inseparable pals. Not so when Azar first met baby Loki, which was a bit mean since Loki was meant to be his new companion after Sunny died. There was much hissing and growling at first and they had to be separated at night, but Loki remained undaunted and would get close whenever he caught Azar napping. This was the day that Loki finally won him over.

bibs

… you start wearing a fucking bib to eat!

Ever since, well probably almost forever, I have never sat at the table to eat a meal when I was alone. I have always sat in my comfy chair with my feet up, either reading or watching tv while eating, and YES I KNOW this is a bad habit. Just like taking your iPhone to bed. So sue me.  I do both. And when the flatmate returned there were both of us eating in our respective comfy living room seating during meals while checking out what was good on Netflix. And constantly spilling food down our fronts because, well, no table. Before when eating something especially spilly I’d tuck some paper towels into the neck of my Day PJs, elegant as always, and that seemed good enough. But was it really? So I googled adult bibs one day and omg it was sad, all kinds of medical websites and not actually any better options than a whack of paper towels. AND THEN I was in El Corte Inglés the other day and saw these light cotton aprons (6€ each) and decided, why not? Of course it’s a bit cumbersome (and hot in summer) to wear a full apron while eating, so I just cut them off at waist length, cut off the ties, and voilà. Bibs. With handy pockets for napkins. Bonus!
