Southern Dad
Assistant Cook
Greetings fellow food enthusiasts. I am a parent who loves to eat. My girlfriend figured out the easiest way for her to get out of having to cook was to let me get a gadget or two for the kitchen. I can't resist something with a cord.
A few years ago, I discovered slow cookers. It changed my life. I may have too many of them. Last year, my girlfriend introduced me to the Instant Pot. It has an app and everything. Yes, I began pressure cooking and slow cooking most of our meals.
Just a few weeks ago, I took the plunge and bought an Anova Precision Cooker. You guessed correctly, it changed my life. Now, I'm seasoning, sealing in bags, cooking in water, and searing on cast iron. What gadget will I should I get next?
Oh, and I have a few other interests. There's Walt Disney World. I love the place. Pro tip, you are never too old for Walt Disney World. Quick story time...
Once up on a time (Storyteller's Union requirement), we were at WDW waiting in line for Dumbo, before they moved it. An older couple boarded the ride while we were waiting. Him in his tweed jacket and her in a dress. When the ride took off the enjoyment of the lady was obvious as she laughed and made sounds like an excited kid. When the ride stopped the cast member left them on for a second run.
This time when it stopped the man helped his wife from the ride. It took a few minutes for her to get out and fix her hat. He then turned to the crowd. We could see the tears on his face. He thanked us for our patience and he told us that it was the first time that he'd heard his wife's voice in several years. Then as the crowd cheered and clapped, he doffed his cap, performed a perfect bow, and offered his arm to his wife and the walked slowly off toward the Mad Hatter's Tea Cup ride.
There's gardening. I love fresh vegetables. The low carb lifestyle is my go to diet when I don't like what I see on my Withings Body Cardio. I did mention that I liked gadgets. I am a coffee aficionado. Forget Starbucks. I'll take my grinder and french press any day of the week. I'm into hybrid automobiles and Apple products.
If you have a kitchen gadget that has an iPhone app, I will be glad to try it out.
