I have a Cosori, that sits on the counter but the coating is coming off the basket. Costco had the best deal 3 casseroles instead of 2.

Yes, it fits in a kitchen cabinet no problem, the 6 cup casserole fits inside the 2.5 qt one and they all have lids. I got mine at Costco and got an extra casserole.

I like the fact the casseroles are glass, no PFAs or Teflon coatings to come off on the food.

They do, but they won't. Congress doesn't want to upset the grand master. At least one side of Congress.

bought a new air fryer last week. A Ninja Crispi, I was skeptical at first, but it does a really good job. It came with a 4 quart casserole, a 2.5 quart casserole and a 6 cup casserole.

You're very welcome.

The new grass is starting to come through. Thanks. Enjoy your day Deb.

Anytime bhràthair.

Approaching the river's edge and another maple syrup bucket.

Bare trees and brown leaves, hopefully everything will be green soon.

Feasgar math folks, welcome to a new week, I hope everyone is having a good Monday. Upstream on the river today and it's back to being cold. The buckets on the trees are for gathering maple syrup. Enjoy your day, stay safe, stay well, stay warm.

Monday's stroll.

That's true. I've had White-breasted Nuthatches and Chickadees come up to me when I'm feeding the birds.

This is about the time they start building nests, so I may have been getting too close.

I hope you're having a good Saturday.

There were two of them, the loud one was a cardinal and the other one was a Carolina Wren.

You're welcome Deb.

Feasgar math folks, welcome to the weekend, I hope everyone is having a good Saturday. A nice sunny day here. Down by the river again, further downstream, I counted at least 7 anglers, I hope they get something. Enjoy your day, stay safe, stay well, stay warm.
