Mum went visiting relatives over the weekend. Today I had to order an Air Fryer with Rotisserie mode, because mum was amazed by the chicken cooking potential.

She's now busy rearranging the kitchen, and .. fuck sake, this is getting expensive!

In this case it was less "Sale's on, go scouring", and more of a "Mum decides she wants something, Thank fuck the sale's on!!"

She's shuffling the kitchen so the new AirFryer Oven will be on the opposite side of the kitchen to the current Oven, and should she be happy using it as a "full oven", then the current oven will be removed, an integrated electric hob will be bought, and the whole damn kitchen will have to be redone.
...
So.. \o/yeay\o/ for that... :/

Can't buy anything else. No bloody chance.
I'm really tempted to go for another of the SanDisk Portable USB drives. The 1Tb one I've got has actually been really great for doing code/site backups, but if I grab a few more of them and label them well, I could replace the "always on, rarely used NAS" with maybe a bunch of little drives on hooks on the wall!!! Grab, use, put back.

But.. yeah, not right now. Any residual cash flow (which, quite frankly, is fuck all right now, especially after today!!) will need to be stashed away for next Wednesday, when the Switch2 gets a proper unveiling.
.. Aw, bugger..

Today, we're Rotisserieing a Chickening..
Ooh, it's ever so exciting!
... and scary as all hell..
We learned "How to truss a chicken", and "How to not freak the fuck out when using a small metal rod to transfer a hot and hefty chicken"

Scary!
But exciting!!

We bought this one.

Warning : Pictures of delicious cooked chicken.
> Reveal 🔎

This was first time for both Me and Mum, Rotisserieing, and though it was slightly scary, the end result was absolutely beautiful.

Tie up the chicken with butchers' string, skewer it with a great big spiked skewer, shove it in, turn it on, 195c for 55 minutes, let it cook, bring it out, give it 10 minutes to cool a bit, remove giant spiked skewer, consume!!!!

Just like the best cakes, it was delicious and moist.
The cleanup afterwards was a bit of a chore, requiring you to clean all manner of little bits and pieces, but thankfully it at least has a drip tray!

.. So, um, yeah.
£139 for a rotisserie chicken dinner. Hopefully there's more out of it than that, or I'll be well pissed off!
