Haven't pulled the trigger on an Instapot either. And we do have two pressure cookers in the garage collecting dust! To be honest, don't even know what an Air Fryer does?
Asian style noodle dishes seem much more savory, right? We've been stir frying noodle dishes (lo mein) lately, but it's not going well. Think we've been adding to many ingredients and it ends up a big blob in the wok.
No we're adding the whole package of noodles, because that's what the recipe says, which significantly lowers the heat in the wok and everything begins to steam. Of course we know better than to fill a wok with too much stuff but sometimes you get sidetracked when following a recipe you're not familiar with.
I eat the fancy tuna in glass jars that cost like $9 each.
Guilty pleasures while living abroad were Peter Pan peanut butter (the only brand available, worse than Skippy/Jif) and Subway sandwiches I’d eat in bed while homesick.
Ours gets used for reheating meals. Or if we're feeling fancy, we paint shiso leaves with olive oil and put them between two layers of plastic wrap and then microwave them until crisp. Then again, we do that about 3-4 times a year so...
Binge-watched every single episode/season of Great British Menus since I found it on Amazon Prime. Bought and returned the silly Instant Pot contraption.
Have yet to watch Great British Menus but have seen some of the British Baking show (?) which was very entertaining. And yeah, don't know how we'd use an Instapot either 🤔
It’s very different...but oddly, Pru Leith is a judge on both shows. More like the James Beard awards as a British reality show. And yes, you can actually see the emergence of modern British cooking over the years.
Totally, such a familiar comfort in those pb&j sandwiches! When we got to college we upgraded to JIF on Homepride wheat bread, a slice of American cheese and Hellman's mayo.
I rarely can finish a whole beer or glass of wine. Thankfully, it's not hard to find help. I love salad, but get huge salad inertia about preparing it.
I use a rock from the sea side to crush garlic on cutting board, its an egg shaped granite rock.
Wow! That is so cool. We may have to go find a rock now!
I want a garlic crushing rock now, too.
Me too!
Potato chips = favorite road food/guilty pleasure. Did not know what an Air Fryer was until a week ago.
The question is, where would we even put an air fryer? We already have 2 food processors!
Exactly.
Someone told me an air fryer is basically just a convection oven. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh gawd. My sister-in-law just sent me one this week! Air Fryers and Instapots. Just can't. (Yet?)

*deep inhale* I don’t like pasta but go crazy over noodles, especially vermicelli bowls.

Wait, wut? Are you starting with really dry, cold noodles?
No we're adding the whole package of noodles, because that's what the recipe says, which significantly lowers the heat in the wok and everything begins to steam. Of course we know better than to fill a wok with too much stuff but sometimes you get sidetracked when following a recipe you're not familiar with.
Our favorite foood movie is Chocolat starring Juliette Binoche. Seen it at least 50 times!
Ours is Babette's Feast, and we used to try and watch it every Thanksgiving but haven't managed in the past few years.
How about adding these to that list..
Eat Drink Man Woman
The lunchbox
Scent of green papaya
Big night
Ratatouille
Soul Food
(More welcome!)
Big Night! Never have made that timbale pasta.
My fridge is about 85% condiments.

We like tuna with Sriracha mayo. Then again, we like anything with Sriracha!
SUPER CONFESSION: I like turkey hot dogs and I eat them cold. It's a habit I picked up while living in Mexico. And it's stuck -- for over 10 years.
Oh my! Do you at least dip them in ketchup?
Nope. Just straight up. I love the texture! Plus the salt. Reminds me of Gyoniku sausage -- also something I enjoy! But, probably shouldn't admit.
I have never ever owned a microwave.
It’s either Like Water for Chocolate, or Chocolat, like James below, with Julie and Julia nestled in there too.
Ooh absolutely, Julie & Julia! Also Chef and Ratatouille.
Chef and Jon Favreau are def guilty pleasure.
We're a microwave-free household too. Never saw the need! But, also, there have been fights in my family over this.

Wow. Didn't realize there were 544 episodes of Great British Menus! That is some heavy binge-watching! Going waaay back to 2006.
We've been eating Rice Krispies for breakfast every day since we were 5.
I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day of my school career (rare exceptions: when school lunch was canned ravioli or turkey fricasée.)
Totally, such a familiar comfort in those pb&j sandwiches! When we got to college we upgraded to JIF on Homepride wheat bread, a slice of American cheese and Hellman's mayo.
Sorry, dude. Skippy all the way. Fight me.
Ha! Welch's or Smuckers?
We were a Smucker's house... but it sounds like you already guessed it was grape or nothing.
Grape and peanut butter be like 🤞 kind of like peanut butter and chocolate.
I rarely can finish a whole beer or glass of wine. Thankfully, it's not hard to find help. I love salad, but get huge salad inertia about preparing it.
We'll be sure to sit next to you at dinner in the future ;)
