Two Simple, Satisfying Fixes

My first annoyance involves cooking. A few years ago I introduced my husband to corn meal mush. Usually fried in a pan, it should end up crispy on the outside with the center warm and creamy. But all the yummy crispness ended up stuck to my pan. My disappointed husband didn’t make a fuss but I wondered if air frying would work better with the remainder. As you can guess, success!
Fun facts about the Amish:
You may well know that the devout never drive motorized vehicles.
Neighbor/family groups hire drivers for long distance travel.
Meanwhile, the surname of Yoder is extremely common.
So, what do outsiders call these transports?
‘Yoder Toters’, of course (true story).


Another nuisance regarded my laptop. The keyboard has a ten-key number pad, which I find useful. However, the Num Lk button doesn’t indicate whether it has been activated or not. I’d roll my eyes every time my effort to key in a digit instead moved my cursor. Carefully pried off and turned upside with a dot of hot glue, it’s not pretty but will never fool me again.

While I doubt my husband would appreciate my fix, I decided he doesn’t need to know.
How the number lock kept getting turned off is a mystery…


Have you ever eaten corn meal mush? Do you own an air fryer?

  3. I do love the air fryer. Mostly I use packaged stuff in it. I haven't quite learned how to make anything myself. Well, except for s'mores. The s'mores come out amazing.

  4. Hi Darla, I knew a little about the Amish. I do have an air fryer but have only had it a month so far and used it once, but I will use it more as I become more comfortable with using it as well as seeing what it can do!
    Corn meal mush....no, I have never eaten this. I have had porridge (as a child) but I absolutely hated it. LOL!

    I am so happy that you like Rocky Kanaka! Yes, he is great with dogs, very gentle, patient and kind. I enjoy watching his channel and seeing how the dogs respond to him.

    I hope you have a wonderful weekend, dear friend!
