Day 110: Yes I want fries with that


What I'm doing today

Fryin' - The Fourth of July monsoon ruined my plans to grill yesterday, so we took a raincheck. (See what I did there?) We've had an air fryer since Christmas that we've never been brave enough to try. So as a special treat I decided to try my hand at making homemade french fries from scratch. It was a lot of work to peel, slice, soak, and dry the fries, but after 15 minutes in the air fryer, they turned out awesome. I don't know why we haven't used this thing sooner, but you can bet I'm going to use it a lot more now. It's easy to set up, cooks quickly, there's very little mess to begin with, and cleanup is a snap.

Grillin' - Since I had planned to grill yesterday, the meat was already thawed. Bonus! So this morning I mixed up a batch of herbs and spices and made the beef patties so that they could rest for a few hours. They turned out great.

I've been accumulating junk mail, old bills, and literally anything with my name, a family member's name, or our address on it for several months resulting in a two-foot tall stack of papers. It couldn't be done all at once, because (A) the shredder kept overheating, and (B) I kept running out of places to store the shreds. (They take up considerably more room than the unshredded sheets of paper.) 75  ✅  Clean off the workbench Getting rid of the shred pile was the main roadblock in completing this task, but it's done. And now there's a bike up ...
