This, that and other things

It may say 75 degrees on the thermometer but with the bright sun out and the cloudless sky it feels like a typical South Florida beach day! Got the November dogs out which reminds me that I have to get a 2022 calendar out as it is just around the corner. 2) All the 'baby' holiday cactus plants are blooming 3) Went to Jalisco's restaurant on Thursday and I had their Cuban platter: chicken, pork, beef, rice, black beans, onions and plantains--plus they serve a cup of chicken soup along with their chips and salsa as you wait--even I leave filled up! 5) Right across the street from the restaurant are just 6 of the new buildings that are going up all over Fort Lauderdale--the city claims they now have 80, 000 new apartments--who they are going to rent them to plus who could afford them (!) is another story!!! https://www.zumper.com/rent-research/fort-lauderdale-fl but then homes are scarce and most people can't afford the down payment!! 4) Many people have told me not to bother with an air fryer and I should have listened to them! There is basically nothing wrong with them, (the fryer--not my friends!) except learning how to get the 'fried' taste plus if you have a indoor grill, a microwave oven and a crock-pot, as I have, the fryer just takes up space. Granted the 2 quart fryer I got takes up very little space and is convenient for 1 person but it is still a waste of money and time as most items will cook faster in the microwave or on the grill. Macy's has it on "Black Friday" sale for $24.99 which is really a good price if you have time and patience---I have time but not patience when waiting to eat!
