Objects of Desire

Hmm ok so if we decide to do yoghurt and rice, small one worthwhile. I found a store that has them in stock so I’ll go look this week. We do rice in the microwave at the moment.

ETA: “goes on objects of desire thread with 1 desire, leaves with 2 instant pots”

I also desire an instant pot and am also confused about the air frying lid (I am confused about air frying in general tbh).

We do pretty similar to this, although with garlic cloves and sometimes set on a sliced onion, and I’ve never used the ACV or honey. We save the drippings from one batch in the freezer to be the 1 cup of liquid in the next batch.

We put it on rice with roast green beans (we use the nom nom paleo recipe but skip the fish sauce for this recipe).

Convection but the air blows the other way, basically. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: and can do delicious convection things in much smaller and faster batches; less electricity/less heating up the house

ETA Basically my understanding is convection is when you push air in and then use a fan to spin it around so that the air flow makes a circuit, whereas air frying is more that you pull the air out with a fan and it leaves instead of a vacuum it pulls the air in a circuit the other way? Something like that. Really similar idea, technically slightly different.

I am also confused by the “duo” vs “duo nova”

Tank has been cleaned today #Winning

Also been advised refurbing another 30,000L concrete tank on the farm that’s not currently connected to anything (used to be a header tank for the farm when it was much bigger, filled from dams via pumps and gravity feeding the livestock) will be about $8k. It is ideally situated to be filled from some of our house roof and then provide for future livestock in our paddocks via gravity feed. Refurb costs vs a replacement is similar $.

A new Garmin. I wants it so bad. I needs it. Basically fuckin’ gollum over here but its a watch not a ring. They’ve just released the Forerunner 955.

Here is the thing though. I’m currently wearing a Forerunner 935 I bought in March 2017. That is like a lifetime ago. But its still going strong. Since then I’ve not bought the Forerunner 945, and the updated Forerunner 945 LTE. I’m basically still in the stone age.

Its not cheap though. And to be fair - I’m not exactly using any of the sports features on my current FR935…but I wants it! And its 20 better than my 935.

DC Rainmaker says its a good watch.

But then there is the 255 as well - a bit more basic and running focussed but seems to have all the good stuff too? Like sleep tracking, HR Variability, 24 HR, etc.

I’ve always said - buy the garmins when they’re newly released - if you want for a good sale they’re probably been replaced with a new sexier model.

I’ve done plenty of Garmin’s for bikes over the years, but never went the watch route, prefer the thinner Fitbits on my wrist.

What makes the new one a total must have for you?

I don’t understand the question.

What new features on the 955 make you want it? Or it just that it’s new?

:rofl: look is a bit of money on a pointless watch really going to make a difference when the housing market is bananas and who knows what the shares are doing in the opposite direction?

Treat yo’ self.

After discussion with a local friend, ordered one Instant Pot, 5.7L, with a glass lid for slow cooking. I will hunt down extra seals later, spares seem hard to come by here.

I’m stuck at home spending money and this is next (already ordered a new Bluetooth speaker and mud kitchen for the kids :see_no_evil:).

How big is big?

5.7L vs 8L is what I’m looking at.

Can I cook both bulk meals and single meals (for four) in the 8L?

Too much choice!

I’d be plumping for the 8L.

We currently make chicken stock and bone broth in our slow cooker, but with the instant pot it’d be a much quicker option and I’d want the bigger volume to fit it all in.

I decided on the 5.7L because HaH (who has one) said the 5.7L is plenty big and the pot is heavy when it’s full of soup or whatever. My now defunct slow cooker was 5.5L, so this seemed reasonable. I have yet to use it yet but it seems a decent size. I can measure the diameter if that helps?

(Also i have picky eaters so im functionally cooking for 2 still, and will buy a giant one when I have teenagers who eat nonstop.)

I want new dining room chairs.

I bought new dining room chairs a couple months ago. And a table. I still don’t have them. :face_with_diagonal_mouth: Looking forward to it, though!

We bought these and paid about a million dollars for them and I hope I don’t regret it: Search Results for “madrid” – Fusion Design
