Todays continuing #NerdFood experiments with instant mashed potatoes, air-fryer chicken.

olive oil, salt, old bay, egg and a little instant potatoes to get it to the consistency of paste

coat the chicken, then roll it in instant potatoes

when you're done, mix the leftover potato breading in with the egg coat and dollop it on top of each piece

about 7mins/side until both sides brown

Why cooking pasta correctly is hard.
I'm a barbarian, I use a microwave.

My parents are probably rolling in their graves over my recent experiments with making potato dumplings in a microwave with instant mashed potatoes. The correct way, of course, is boiling and riceing them then chilling the mixture in the fridge before boiling (in a pot)

Food experiment gone horribly wrong.
Don't try this at home.
Macaroni and cheese packet mixed with olive oil.
I thought maybe this might be useful as a cheese seasoning, but the only way this stuff is even edible is after it is mixed with a big bowl of noodles.
DO NOT try to taste this straight. I don't think I want to know what is in it that makes it taste like that.
