My vote will always be for the giant chicken since reading this:

http://thebloggess.com/2011/06/21/an...-your-battles/

We're in discussions about an air fryer - not sure how much we'd use it - but it looks like it would provide some yummy crispy fried healthy-ish goodness to our diets.

And the OnePot? Man, those things are fanfreakintastic when you have long drives from the office and forgot to thaw out dinner.

I can cook dry beans to completely cooked in one hour. Usually I let them sit overnight as my wife likes the beans soft, but still in a hour they done. Ribs from frozen to almost falling off the bone in 25 minutes. Yup I like ours. (mine)

I'll take a pic tonight after I mow the lawn. You should see the Vincas along the walk now. Looks way better all grown up

That ain't cooking beans in an hour. That's cooking beans in two days!!

I think he means that he doesn't have to soak them if he uses the pressure cooker.

Here's the new growth







I'm very pleased with the grasses




And the gnomes

Looks great! Love the blue hydrangea. You must have acid soil. Good for blueberries too.

What I don't eat at McDonald's. I barbeque a lot and for the ribs to be tender so fast is a godsend. I do a whole chicken in the cooker then slather in Kraft and into the oven for the proper burn. Maybe 1.5 hours.

I think Jim means that I mean I don't have to soak the beans before cooking. Some like their lima beans and pintos the next thing to mush so presoak if you like mushy beans.

The thing I don't like about the cooker is to have all the spices and salt right before cooking. Its not like you can open the lid and think it needs more salt or a pinch of sugar. Tough nuts til its done.

Did you cut the grass for the picture? The lawn looks swell. Sure will hate to see winter come.

I mowed because the grass was ankle high. I waited to take the picture for you.

I don't think you let the lawn go wild after that work in the yard. My yard is low and it rains about every day through a typical July. I have a volunteer tomato growing next to a rose tree and watermelon in another spot.

I am going to try square hay bale growing next spring. Set them up in the fall and let them winter over then plant in middle of bale in the spring. I see how that goes. I am not as energetic as I used to be. I weed eat around the house and porches with roundup.

Dags,

I think that linked story may have closed Amanda on this. She was guffawing and chortling and quoting lines later that night.

That's like $200 worth of free chicken!

Knock knock, motherfucker!

Ps, we might be getting new towels too...

Reminded me of the second Boondock Saints movie when the dude (Clifton Collins, Jr) is trying hard to come up with a cool catch phrase for the next shoot out. He kicks in the door to the place, with two guns pulled, and yells "Ding DONG, motherfucker, ding DONG!!!"
