Things That Annoy Your Pets
Have you ever wondered why your cat gives you that death stare or your dog sighs dramatically? It's because humans have an uncanny knack for annoying their pets in the most hilarious ways. Take, for instance, the classic game of fetch—dogs love it. But when you pretend to throw the ball and hide it behind your back, you play mind games with your furry friend. Or how about when you try to dress your cat in that adorable little costume for Halloween? Spoiler alert: your cat does not share your enthusiasm for becoming a pumpkin. And let's not forget the ultimate betrayal—taking your pet to the vet. One minute, they're enjoying a car ride with the wind in their fur, and the next, they're being poked and prodded by a stranger. It's a wonder they still love us, but that's the magic of pets!

Hi Paul. Always practical advice akin to watch the pennies and the dollars take care of themselves :) We've had a convection oven for years which I think is what an air fryer is. The newer ranges usually come with a basket nowadays I think. We have consistently used convection because you can reduce temperatures by 50 degrees and likely save a bit. My sons have air fryers and seem to enjoy them. We use parchment paper so never any cleanup. I have brussel sprouts and asparagus to cook today. Gonna see if the setting makes them a little crispier!
Great info! We have an air fryer built into our oven. It's a setting. I never use it because I would have to use oil anyway to prevent sweet potato from sticking to the baking sheet. Is this a myth?
