Yeah, but I can remember just how heated it can get in the main house :) Regardless of outside temperature.
Like the dickheads that can't understand my love of the desert always say "You can always put on more clothes in the winter. You can only take off so many in the heat."
Haha, yep they say that here too. You're like my grandfather, mum's dad; He loved the heat and would work all day in his workshop, (woodworker) in overalls and say things like, it's almost hot enough now!. 🤣
I miss my grandad. He was a top bloke. Hard worker, cheeky bugger too...That's where I get it from.
That's a nice memory of your grandfather.
Mine couldn't have been more different but I miss them both. My dad's dad was driving a tractor for my brother and I in a real pinch so we could get the irrigation system moved to a new field. He was probably 70 and I tried hard to keep him from doing any work. He got frustrated and told me a line I've never forgotten: "There ain't no sense saving an old horse."
Old timers are funny sometimes huh, the things they say.
I never met my dad's dad, he died of a heart attack before I was born. Liked my other a lot though. A really good fellow, well liked by everyone, kind and generous. I'll never be able to live up to who he was, but I try.
That'd be the other one, my mom's dad. Just the fruit of the earth. Everybody liked him, and not the least of which was me. He taught me lots, and I didn't even know I was in school!
!ENGAGE 20
ENGAGEtokens.That is what I say!!
Except I add, you can only take off so many legally.
A client was telling me the other day that his father in law keeps the house (in Finland) at +30C and the bathroom at +40C - that is insane!
That's crazy. Really crazy
I keep my house between 26 and 27 C when the weather is hot. 2 reasons it is that warm: Cost and temperature differential. Walking out into 40 C is stressful at best.
In the winter it changes. I do not have central heat so my winter temps are really dependent on the outdoor temps. I have an air fryer that has a 18C low temp safety switch on it and I occasionally have to light the range to bring the temp up a little to use the thing :)
It was a weird story. the guy has a peat-fired furnace and peat - so heating his house is essentially free for him. So... he just burns it :D
Ok - this is the second time in two days I have heard "air fryer" - what the hell is it?
That is weird.
Air fryer is an appliance that emulates deep frying using air instead of oil. You put just a teeny bit of oil on the food and get nearly the same taste and texture.
Mine is also a small oven so I can roast and bake and toast without heating up the whole kitchen. An important consideration in our summer.
Hmmm--- mmm - I think I am going to have to look into this black magic device..
I certainly like mine. I most often make french fries. Slice a potato, put just a light coating of oil on it, pop it in the oven and in 20 minutes you have french fries. Great for fish and chips, too. The fish takes less time than the potato so leave a little room and set the timer....
I've made onion rings and egg rolls that turned out just fine!
I love fish and chips (Australians do) and have never made them because I need a deep fryer. I think I will see what is on offer here for a dry fryer :)
