Without mentioning the name, it is branded by a celebrity chef and sold at a store that sells bedding, linens and small appliances.

 

Thanks.  I have a convection oven but it doesn’t air fry 😉 

 

Nothing wrong with naming the brand.  (Hint, hint 😉 )

Glad to share the name.  I was a little hesittant as you never know what will get blocked.  It is the Emeril Lagasse 6qt Power Air Fryer Pro at Bed, Bath and Beyond.  He has one other one they sell, but I needed one that had a smaller footprint.  It is made by Power, which has similar models at various stores for less money, but they did not seem as sturdy.  When we looked at one of them, the door fell off the display unit.  Not a good recommendation.  I also like the racks better in the one I have, and it came with more accessories included.  You might be able to get a coupon for 20% off and BB&B.

 

One thing I've learned is that some recipes and cooking times need to be tweaked, especially since most of the cookbooks seem to be written for the basket type units.  It is a learning process, but worth the effort.

 

Hope this helps and was not TMI.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the visit with my son, just a little bit sad right now that he left this morning. He had planned to stay a couple of days longer but with all the wild fires and road closures he decided to give himself some extra time driving home to Tulsa.

 

@wandbwonderful news about your sister, I will continue to pray that after her laproscopic surgery she will be cancer free.

@rafinmdPT=pain and torture that is hard to endure but will be very beneficial in the long run. Try to stick it out.

@1ANGELCATthat you for posting about the first responder who found his own child. My heart bleeds for him and his family.

That was a LOT of help and not TMI.  Thank you, kindly 👍 

If I am going to make the move, I want to do it right.  I really appreciate the help.  Need to do some reading.  No Bed Bath & Beyond here but I’m sure I can find one on line if need be.

This is the update from CNN.

Miami-Dade County Fire Chief Alan Cominsky said the firefighter was not part of that rescue process. His task force comrades found the remains and then called him over, Cominsky told reporters.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words and continued prayers for my sister! 💕🙏

I did a quick check of BB&B in Canada, and found the other Emeril Lagasse air fryer on line and was offered a way to get a 20% off coupon.  Here is the link. https://www.bedbathandbeyond.ca/store/s/emeril-lagasse-air-fryers?ta=typeahead

 

They had a similar air fryer to mine, but it is a different brand and costs more.  It does have the racks like mine and most of the accesories, so I'm including the link for it too.  https://www.bedbathandbeyond.ca/store/product/modernhome-aria-10-qt-air-fryer-with-accessory-set-in-black/5444715?keyword=air-fryers

 

Hope this helps you decided if and what you want. 

 

I actually have two air fryers, one in Quartzsite, which we bought at the store.  The manager honored my out of date coupon for the whole 20%.  The other one is in Texas, and we ordered it on-line, with another coupon.

Welcome back. Bird in hand for dinner ?

We had lunch there.  Waiting on the kids to decide where we will have dinner.

I have gone throught my pictures of Gozo, and hope I'm not repeating any or at least not too many.  It's hard to remember what was posted three or four pages ago.

 

These first ones are from our visit in 2017.  These first ones are the ferry from Malta, but we saw a different view than @sailingdutchy Tony.  We were able to leave the car and go up to the passenger deck for the crossing.

 

A couple of street scenes and we were driving around the island. 

 

We stopped at the Gran Castello, and spent some time wandering through it.  I am not posting the picture of the church in the old fort as it looks very similar to other churches that have been posted.

 

One of the views overlooking the island from the fortress.

 

We were in Gozo in October 2017, after the Azur Window collapsed.  This is the after picture to the before @sailingdutchy Tony, posted from March of that year.

 

In 2019, the Veendam was able to anchor.  That day, we took the Ho-Ho, and saw some different parts ot the island.  

 

And I'll leave your with a picture of the Veendam at anchor, ugly stern and all.

@rafinmd   Wow.  They really want a long rehab for you.  Could it be that is the time frame medicare will pay for rehab?

I'm only Medicare for Inpatient Hospital, my Federal Health Care covers everything else.  There apparently is no limit on my visits.

My impression was a "one size fits all" program, not something designed to fit my needs.  I'll see what happens when I start working with the actual tech, but I don't think that long a program is what I need.

You're welcome.  It was easy since I knew what I was looking for.  Besides, you help us with gardening and cruise information.

Good afternoon.  Not a great deal of good news today, but I'm happy @puppycanducruise is getting her second jab and @wandb's DS has such a wonderful result from her chemo.   @mamaofami, it is good that your children are working on the arrangements for your DH now.  Younger people can be much more forceful!

 

In BC we are opening up again, but I went into the grocery store this morning and (most) people were wearing masks, which made me happy.  I am a little bit uncomfortable still around unmasked people that I don't know, although at exercise today, we did aerobics unmasked.  Church is going back to regular numbers, but the bishop said we are still dispensed from Sunday Mass, so I think we will continue going on Tuesdays and see how the numbers are.  Poor BC is suffering from hundreds of fires now, and at least 2 are dead in Lytton, the town that burned down.  

 

Our day on Gozo with Tony and Martha was great, we were so lucky that our guide was able to organize, at very short notice, a van to the ferry and then another van when we got to Gozo.  I don't think that many on the ship were able to get there.   There is a lot to see in Malta, both islands have pre-historic ruins,  amazing countryside and food and interesting people.  I will just add a few pictures,  most of mine are pretty much the same as Tony's!

My interpretation so far was that the father, while not the one who found the child, was certainly a close colleague of the people sifting the rubble and it would still be a very traumatic situation.

Roy @rafinmd...have you ever listened to books while exercising?🎧 I find it a good distraction while doing my PT 'at home' program. 🙃

Wasn't expecting that but just caught the tail end.  I wonder if Serenity will be moving to a more accessible place to load passengers tomorrow.

Are there any passengers on board Odyssey OTS?

No.  There were originally suppose to be Pax starting this weekend but some of the crew got covid before vaccine immunity started and they delayed service for a month.
