  1. I answered a question this morning that I guess I should have known the answer to. No, you cannot make egg custard in an air fryer.

    I guess I am forced to have ice cream for breakfast.

  2. Ever since my kid bought me a bamboo steamer for Xmas, I've been reading tons of recipes & watching scads of videos. I just wanted to make some authentic shrimp or pork buns. I finally gathered the courage to make pork buns today. Or tried to. The filling was fine, & even though I usually make some pretty great bread, the wrappers I made can only be described as steamed semi-breadlike school paste — in taste and substance. Definitely not light & fluffy.

  3. Earlier, I saw that Kid2 had left the chocolate chip dough out and I thought, hmm, it's been out a while, I wonder if I should throw it away? But then I thought, it's not like it's been hot weather. The dough should be fine! Might as well bake it!

    So I made four biscuits and popped them in the oven, went into the lounge room and promptly forgot all about them until later when I came back into the kitchen and smelt burnt biscuits.

    So instead of wasting them by throwing out the raw dough, I wasted a bunch of energy and threw out cooked biscuits instead.
