My cooking attempts with chicken drumsticks for the last few days have sort of failed.
I don’t know if I can be bothered getting flour today as this would make it my 3rd trip down to the shops.
Was going to attempt a batter using only cornstarch and egg with some heavy seasoning tonight and see how that goes.
This is for an air fryer as well.
If you can’t get flour, or want a crispier drumstick, panko bread crumbs are also good to use. Your batter sounds like it would be sticky enough to make sure the bread crumbs stick. Least, that’s the result of my partner’s experiments to make fried chicken at home :D
I make a popcorn chicken type thing with a bunch of spices in cornflower and it tastes pretty good. I go really heavy on the salt because I find it nicer super salty, but that’s just me being weird. Mix some cayenne pepper in if you have it, adds a nice taste and a bit of kick!
following Thorn’s tips next time buy tempura batter mix.
Would recommend mixing the batter with ICE cold water or even shaved ice for extra crispy finish. This is essentially a tempura batter that you are planning. Drumsticks tempura! The batter may well burn in the airfryer even on lowish heat, as the drumsticks will take MUCH longer to cook than the batter. Would recommend par-cooking the chooklegs in the microwave in moist heat, then battering them for the airfryer.
If you want crispy chicken use cornflakes. Put them in a bag and crush them then add all your flavours with the crumbs. Lather your drumsticks up with yogurt, mayo or egg and roll the drumsticks in it. Airfry
Went to Aldi and saw some of those extreme thermo boots.
I almost bit the bullet but I wasn’t quite sure if those boots were going to be comfy enough or too warm for me to wear as I normally wear work boots to work and they’re starting to go.
Still thinking if I should have gotten them or not.
I bought some and can confirm they are super warm and with a good sturdy grip. Will use them for outdoor winter stuff. And at $35 I don’t care if they get muddy and trashed. I reckon they would be too warm and chunky for an office.
Oh bugger. I work both indoors and outdoors by the majority of the time I’m indoors in an office.
At the moment I use tradies steel capped boots so im not sure if that’s any good of a comparison.
35 for a pair of boots that would last quite awhile looked quite attractive to me but not sure how long they would last either.
I guess it depends how cold your feet get. They aren’t steel caps so if you need to meet safety requirements they wouldn’t pass. Open a box in store and try them on in the shop, heaps of people were doing it.
Nah. Not a safety requirement. I just appreciated just sturdy they were and eventually got used to the added weight.
I’m not sure, I’ve been wearing those sorts of boots for quite awhile now and I don’t feel cold in them.
I did try one on quickly and it was ok but it was o my for a quick moment and the front of the boot sort of curls up a little I noticed.
Not sure how warm they would get after awhile of wearing them though.
Go into the office, come home with the sniffles.
Stupid dirty infected denizens.
I’ve been fake taking extra shots from my puffer because of filthy looks on the bus. Really not sick people, this cough is my normal.
Been coughing for 3 weeks. keept getting dirty looks from colleagues. Was thinking I should wear a sign that says “dont worry, its just daycare germs. So long as I dont lick your eyeballs you wont catch it”.
After my xmas bout of whatever-the-fuck-virus I had a lingering cough for like 6 weeks. Went into work and had to keep explaining that I’m not sick, and not contagious. I understand the trepidation though. Still too many nuffies that think going into work while actively sick is some sort of show of strength.
So many people out sick at the moment. I woke up with a sore throat and I’ve hardly been out and wear a mask.
There’s a bout of covid going through my office for the past few weeks. Mine isn’t covid (tested 3 times already) and probably not the flu (had my shot a couple of months back). Most likely just some head cold virus thingy that is more annoying than anything.
Crumpets have been made, now to rest the rest of day watching telly.

I think she be a fine tiger loaf
I made the mistake of putting Cat TV on last week. One of the cats is now so transfixed that the child cannot play roblox without his character being attacked. It’s funny, but I am slightly concerned that she might harm the TV… your method seems safer and involves less screen time which is bad for our younguns.
Cat TV! A staple of this household. Even without birdie nom noms
It says here that it’s enrichment for cats so I think it’s a good idea. https://www.thevetshed.com.au/blog/enrichment-for-cats/4266
I think it’s lovely, it’s like Cat TV. 😸📺

My kid: I think I’m gonna wear green to the sports carnival tomorrow.
Me: But that’s not your house colour.
Her: I don’t care. I look good in green.
Me: True.
Testing jerboa…
What were you using before?
Firefox
Oh. I honestly don’t like browser Lemmy. I used Jerboa in the early days but it was a bit buggy and I was coming from Boost for Reddit so as soon as Boost for Lemmy launched I switched over. Did you use a third party app on Reddit?
I used Reddit is Fun. Boost for lemmy had ads, so that’s not for me. e: I’d go back to firefox before putting up with ads.
Fair. I used BfR for about 3 years before I decided to upgrade. I didn’t really mind the ads, I just wanted to support the dev. But of a state secret, but the Reddit app still works if you’re a mod of a sub, so I bought ad free the day after installing BfL for that (and reworking the app for Lemmy) alone.
Handy to know about BfR. I have now created my own Reddit sub and the app is working again.
I also am planning to do this
looks like a dog to me
I thought it was an alpaca/llama crossed with a camel at first lmao. My brain’s weird like that
I can see it.
So have my internal job interview next week. I’ve put my expected salary as 10% greater than I currently have, but about 9 months ago they made the role that I’m going for no longer an automatic pay jump. I know they will say my pay will remain the same and I don’t know how to respond to that. They are desperate for people right now, but so is the team id be leaving. I am definitely worth a raise but my company is cheap. The company also loves to bluff - like you ask for a raise, they will tell you no chance UNTIL you have another job offer and say you’re leaving. It’s a tricky one. Any thoughts?

You get to set the conditions and timetable of your personal career goals, not them.
Advice I’ve seen on lemmee.World is if they offer you a promotion without a payrise you put that on your resume and immediately look for another job elsewhere paying the money you were looking for

does anyone know where I put the corkscrew?
Second drawer down.
not in any of the drawers. I checked each one about 4 times.
Don’t worry it’ll turn up when you buy another one.
I will be moving in with my mother and consolidating households in the near future, so at this stage I am not buying anything I can do without for a short period. So I’ll be pushing in corks for a few months then either find it in the move or just use mum’s. I’ll add it with the broken beaters to the list I need to make sure mum doesn’t declutter!
with the screwdriver
I have checked both the cupboard which collects random tools that should mostly be outside and the pegboard storage areas where screwdrivers are and there is no corkscrew ☹️
it’s in the cutlery drawer
My cutlery sits in a pot on a shelf. I did check the shelf it is on and the one above it (which houses the teapot). No corkscrew ☹️
Check your handbag. And then the glove box of the car.
The cat is sitting on it of course
She is currently curled in her favourite hanging basket. Obviously I can’t wake her up to check but it seems highly unlikely she would have stolen the corkscrew and managed to carry it up there. She’s only little and has no teeth for gripping such things.
Dad: Into the wine bottle… got a swiss army knife in a drawer somewhere?
Cork was pushed into the bottle. Alas I have no swiss army knife. I have a suspicion I may have overzealously decluttered it thinking it was a spare.
It’s stuck with its magnet half way down the garbage chute
If you understand this, we’re cool… cool cool cool.
Movies are being watched. First up, rewatching Judgement at Nuremberg for the 10th time.
It’s just as powerful as the first time I watched it.
Every argument and defence that evil uses to justify their actions you can still hear today.
The best way to counter evil is to use your conscience in every aspect of your own life.

Trying to get the mrs to understand that servicing a modern DPF diesel engine, plus tyres and brakes on a big SUV is gonna be bloody expensive (and given its “my” car cost ME), meanwhile I can replace her whole engine for 20 bucks and run the thing off the smell of an oily rag. Meanwhile the SUV has copped 10k km and shitbox hasn’t hit 2k km.
I shouldnt call it a shitbox, its such a fun little car to drive I love that thing to death.
