My grandma would have loved that, she was into tech, science fiction, and some DIY stuff. She got assaulted on the street for a couple hundred bucks, thrown to the ground and passed away, just as I was learning to tell the front from the back of a PC. She used to be a typist, would have loved to get her to a computer. Last thing I knew, she was eager to watch “Back to The Future”, but didn’t get a chance. While cleaning her room, I found a bunch of tools some of which I still use, drawing stuff, scientific magazines, a japanese dictionary… wish I got to know her better.
I bet she wouldn’t be against even microwaved potatoes!
Grandma can’t judge. She boiled chicken till it was falling apart, seasoned with cold water and not enough salt

What’s wrong with air fryer?
I’ve encountered some sentiments that they’re bad simply because they’re trendy
air fryers are just a rebranding of convection ovens, which are awesome. I don’t care what it’s called, cooking with circulated hot air is really useful
Nothing really, but they should call them something else. Frying is a specific thing and air “frying” isn’t that.
Yeah they are, just not deep frying. It’s air frying because you’re still frying using high heat, just you rub the oil on the items instead of submerging it. That’s why frozen foods work so well, they’re so oily already.
I made the same face when I watched her boil everything to mush. Disappointment runs both ways.
My girlfriend always romanticises old people and their cooking. I never really had a grandma, but i used to eat a lot at 60+ people’s home some 30 years ago, and it was pretty bad. Everything was boiled to death. It took me another 20 years to eat Brussels sprouts, broccoli and even potatoes again. I fucking love brussle sprouts, but if you boil them they become absolutely repulsive. The people who are 60+ now that i know don’t really cook all that well also. It’s a weird mix between old timey boiled food and highly processed food.
Grandma’s idea of cooking was shucking oysters & popping champagne to entertain her lovers, so I think she’d only disapprove of the lack of hard drugs in your kitchen.
My grandma was always curious about new technology or new ways of doing things. My uncle just sent me her autobiography we have as a Word doc because she learned how to use a computer with old age.
Miss you, Babushka!
