Thinking about how air frying rewired my idea of a 'treat'.

Funny, it had the opposite effect on me. That whole experience of deep frying felt like an event, you know? The smell filling the kitchen, the sound of the oil bubbling. The air fryer just makes things too easy and clean, which kind of kills the special feeling. It turns a treat into just another easy weeknight side. For me, part of the fun was the messy, guilty process. Now it feels a bit too much like just heating up a frozen item, even if it is crispier.

I ended up listening to a full mystery novel I'd never heard of, and it was surprisingly gripping. Your post, @hannah_webb71, made me realize I should have a backup plan for entertainment beyond my streaming services. Now I keep a battery-powered radio and a list of local stations that broadcast stories during emergencies.
