Re: Show Us Your Great Meals This Week And Your Recipes
My sweetheart was cleaning up after dinner. Picked up the little tub of salsa to put it back in the fridge. Oops. Dropped it. When it hit the floor the top came off like a fragmentation grenade and salsa went e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. On her shoes. On her jeans and her sweatshirt. On her neck. On her glasses. All over the island cabinet. Four feet up on the moulding around the door to the back hall. On the cabinet under the toaster oven. Five feet up the fridge door. Another five feet up onto the microwave, and all down the oven underneath to the floor. Across the kitchen floor four feet one way and six feet the other way.
The total volume was perhaps 1/4 cup, but the result looked like a homicide crime scene. A new record was set for how much mess can be made with a small amount of goop. Went through at least a dozen paper towels, many squirts of Windex, and tossed the remaining salsa.
The good news is that, in the end, because the dinner was leftovers, the total time in the kitchen worked out to be about the same. But I don’t think we’ll be having salsa again in the immediate future.

You probably didn't find it amusing at the time, but it appears to have prompted an early 'spring cleaning' job
The kitchen won't need to be cleaned for a while anyway.
I hope you didn't get mad with her, but I am sure you were sympathetic like a good supportive partner should be

Oh, we don't get angry about those things (but at the moment we may use some Navy language about our own clumsiness). Just a week earlier I did a similar thing with a jar of honey, although she now holds the record for area covered. And, unlike Sweetheart, it was unnoticed on the sole of my boot and I tracked it all over the kitchen floor. So now the floor is very clean and the various vertical surfaces that needed cleaning anyway are shiny like new!

Re: Show Us Your Great Meals This Week And Your Recipes
Looking in the `fridge yesterday I had some mushrooms, peppers, and corned beef that where all getting a little older than I like. There was also something growing on one of last week's onions.
:Think:
Coarsely chop
Two medium size sweet onions
An 8 oz package of Cremini (Baby Bella) mushroom
Two small sweet peppers
Brown the veggies in a large skillet over medium heat in 2-3 tablespoons of butter or oil.
Add 2-3 cups of diced up meat. I had about a half pound or so of corned beef from last week that needed to go. Any precooked meat will work.
Cook uncovered for 5-10 minutes to let some of the liquid boil off.
Once the veggies are browned, add 4-6 cups of mashed potatoes. I actually used a family size package of Bob Evans frozen mashed potatoes that had been in the freezer over a year. I microwaved that according to package directions while the veggies were cooking.
Season to taste - I did some coarse black pepper and a little garlic powder.
Wisk up 4-6 eggs and mix into the contents of the skillet.
Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook about 10-15 minutes, stirring once or twice to distribute the egg and veggies evenly.
When you have a little browning on the bottom turn the heat off and let it rest about 10 minutes.
I was going to use up a couple of broccoli crowns but I ran out of space and this had plenty of flavor already.
You can vary the quantities of potato and egg to suite your tastes or, in my case, the expiration dates of the contents of the refrigerator.
Enjoy

Re: Show Us What You Had For Dinner/And Your Recipes
Hi Gary and all. I was looking over the last year or so of the great meals, recipes, and photos on here and I realized that I never addressed your post. So, I can tell you that both my Emeril Lagasse 360 Airfryer and PowerXL Airfryer Grill both draw 1500 watts each. We can put either one on the kitchen counter and no problem with any other electrical appliances. However when I need to use both, such as grilling steaks or fish on one and rotisserie on the other, I put one on the cart and position it at the other end of the kitchen cooking area and plug it into the separate dining room circuit. Now moving forward, Sheri and I have really been having fun with the air fry from frozen concept lately. You can get packages of frozen cheese pepper bites, chicken nuggets, mozzarella cheese sticks, mozzarella cheese bread, egg rolls, spring rolls, fish sticks, onion rings, french fries and you name it for low money. And, they are ready quickly and with no oil.GCoyote wrote: ↑Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:13 pm Looks good Marshall. Our last air fryer drew so much power we couldn't use any of the other counter-top appliances at the same time. The new one seems more efficient and I'm still getting the hang of it.
Any good air fryer ideas you come across, I'd like to see here.
Clear skies!
Here are a some temperature and time guides for air frying from frozen. The first is a comprehensive three pages and the second is a handy single page and Air fryers come with many cooking capacities, power capabilities, temperature ranges, and food placement arrangements (bucket, rack, roasting pan, basket). So you have to experiment with what works best, but after awhile and with some experience, you can air fry all of your favorite frozen snacks quickly.
I hope this helps folks and have a great weekend.
