Laurie, to cooking

and peeps, I'm looking for dump and cook recipes.

I borked my knees and still have a very difficult and painful time standing/walking, so I need to simplify things. Today, I cooked a veg curry that needed stirring every now and then, and it was just too much for me, I realize, as I sit on the couch with my TENS unit on as I will the pain away.

I have a pressure cooker (with slow cooker function), rice cooker, and an air fryer and use them a lot. I do a lot of roast chicken, which is manageable, as are salads and rice in my rice cooker. It's trying to get variety with cooked veggies that fails.

We tend towards big bold flavours that use a lot of spices and aromats. We love all sorts of cuisines. We love Indian and Indian-subcontinental food in particular, but most recipes are too involved for me to do right now. If you have good, easy hands-off dump recipes, I would appreciate them.

Please boost. We're on a two-person instance, so hashtags don't get me very far.

Thank you so much for helping.

Laurie,

@librarychic Thanks for your reply.

I've done that, but not always happy with the results.

Disclaimer: I have a toaster oven-style air fryer that also serves as my oven. I do not have a separate larger oven.

When I roast chicken, I spatchcock so it cooks more evenly. I've tried putting potatoes, carrots, onions on the tray beneath the carrots, but those that are under the chicken aren't cooked through while the ones that aren't are over cooked and burnt in places. I suppose the solution there is to use chicken pieces instead of whole chicken.

I'm open to suggestions. :)

Is it fair to blame AI for the fact so many online recipes leave out details like quantity and time?

Laurie,

@TellumSiege @Cassandra @Fawn I've read onions can be caramelized in a pressure cooker and oven. I'm planning on giving them both a try at some point. I do not have the patience for tending stovetop onions.

Unpopular opinion but I don't think every product has to grow infinitely and be expected to somehow do everything that every other product does.

Like it's okay for a watch to just be a watch.

Laurie,

@Rycaut @BrentInMasto @annaecook the library in our neighborhood where we lived in Toronto also had a 3D printer and sewing machines. Which is Uber cool. They could not be checked out, but you could book them to use on site.

Laurie,

@BrentInMasto @annaecook @Rycaut exactly. I was rather impressed.

Black Hole

2023 04 02 day 283 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off). I’m doing a one art-thing every day challenge to take me from wannabe artist to something around beginner artist. I’m very much still learning and am self-taught. This series chronicles this journey.

I saw an image of a black hole on the Curiosmos site, linked below, and thought I’d do my own take. Here it is!

Alien Landscape

2023 03 31 day 281 of doing art every day for a year (mostly – I took sick days off).

To clarify for those who weren’t with me at the beginning in May 2022, I decided to do a one year challenge to do some kind of art every day for a year so I could, hopefully, learn to do art. In the beginning, my art, or more accurately, β€œart”, wasn’t very good. I had not done much since finger painting in grade two or three. I considered myself a wannabe artist. But I figured that, if I worked at art seriously for a year, I could improve. I aspire to competence. So what you see here is very much that of a beginner artist learning to art.

On to the now. I seem to be developing a habit of painting otherworldly scenes. I must continue that with zero restraint.

Happy birthday to me!

My birthday lunch was mee goreng. It was good, but not as good as the mee goreng we got at a hole-in-the-wall cafe in Johor Bahru, Malaysia a few blocks from where we lived in 2014-2015. From what I recall, it cost us around USD 2 or 3, so cheap, too. And so so good.
