And one thing I wanted to ask you last episode, but didn't, was if you had any air fryer tips or advice for me.
Um, and it was a nice gift, because it's kind- the kind of gift that I don't think we would- something we- like your headlamp that you got me, something that we as a family probably wouldn't have gotten ourselves, 'cause we hadn't gotten to that point-

We had our regular oven is not convection, our toaster oven is not convection, and someone brought us an air fryer, which is a nice gift.
We're like, "Oh, we'll try it out." And it turns out, uh, lots of people in my house immediately took to the air fryer, and they love it.
I've eaten some of the food that's come out of it, but I've, I've just been cooking meals the way I normally do.
