Oh, quite the success last night. laughter w / great food. Everyone got plenty and leftovers especially, rice and mash potatoes.
BUT everyone got fed
💢💤For November 29th, cold cold cold. That's the word.
We're having people in for a little turkey dinner or a turkey dinner, not little. I went and picked up the food. It's nicely done. We're going to have appetizers. Sushi and a vegetable tray for dinner. We're having the turkey stuffing, mash, cranberry, and gravy.
I'm also cooking rice and there's going to be fried shrimp. These are the ones that come already cooked. You just have to warm them up and. you know make them brown
and should be a good little gathering. You know maybe eight nine people and two kids. So we're looking forward to a very good evening.
but it is cold. Let me tell you
Interesting factoid. On Friday, the annual football - KFC extravaganza was 6 people and 4 graduated from Bloor Collegiate
Saturday night, the Leacock connection was one former teacher and three grads
🎩 ' boro is sunny and cold. off chance of flurries in the city proper and more so in the outlying areas
Actually, I may have got that weather forecast a little bit wrong. Not just little flurries but a dump in some areas north and east of the city proper. I don't know about us in Scarborough. We're sort of on the edge. We're called GTA but I don't know if the weather really cares about that. We do get a little bit more snow than in the city proper. Well, I've decided that I do like dictating. It may not be exactly as when I type but it's convenient. So here I am using AI and glad whatever taking advantage of whatever it offers
🏬 🎰 have a great Thanskgiving Y'all
boro is cold and windy.
Today was take the old guy to lunch day friend A .... decided that today would be the day
we did some shopping at the Chinese grocery store. That's always interesting and our Magic Noodle lunch was really good
Th saying in Japanese was ' if the dashi isn't tasty the noodles are wasted ' - the dashi is the stock
🏨 🏩 ...lyrics of Joe and Eddy from the self same title
not true. I will go a meeting of former students and staff. drop in and come as you may
First though we did shopping, it's our semi-monthly trip to Metro the grocery store and we spend our habitual $250, $260 this time it hit $275.
What do you know? Had a little nap
then headed out to Scarborough Town center and specifically the food court where Chipotle has a stall and we met up as two students and two teachers. It was a very pleasant evening.
🚂 a dullish looking day so far in the ' boro
I had a Tim Horton s meet and greet for this AM. Former teacher friend and the Meetup went very well, old friends gathering. It was very, very pleasant.
so this afternoon we had to look at the possibility that we could have ninja dual air fryer deep fried chicken without deep frying.
Okay. So the secret to this is a buttermilk marinade for about 4 hours or overnight then a dredging in seasoned flour and you're even allowed to make it a sort of crumbly. That's the word crummby coding because that gives the little bumps more like deep fried.
I did all these things, I'm set to go and according to the the YouTube video I was to set the temperature of the ninja for $400° F and 20 minutes,
except there is a warning in the instructions for ninja that says " if you use both baskets at once please allow extra time " so I didn't need.
We needed a little bit more time and also unfortunately I crowded the chicken pieces so a little slower to brown, cook etc.
And it ended up more like 30 minutes instead of 20 but the product was reasonable. Good taste. Maybe could use a little more browning.
first try not bad
🖲 ' boro is sunny. the view is blue sky, still air
