Hi Lee, hope you get to Iceland, Mrs Tvman and I were there a few years ago and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure if the blue lagoon will be open though because of the volcano but there are plenty of other sights 

Tvman x

Hi Tvman, yes the Blue Lagoon is open just checked.  We have been twice and really loved it.  I can't wait to float in blue lagoon, I'm sure it will benefit my back.  How is Mrs Tvmans recovery doing?

Mr Simo surprised me yesterday with a new tower air fryer. We use ours so much, but one draw wasn’t big enough if you wanted to cook meat and potatoes at the same time. This air fryer also has racks which means I can cook 2 separate things in each drawer, so can cook 4 things in one go! I am beyond excited !! It’s the little things in life that make me happy these days. 

I just can't get the hang of the airfryer.  I did roast gammon and roast potatoes in it the other day, the gammon came out okay but the potatoes where dry and horrible.  How do you cook roast potatoes in there Chelle?

Hi Chelle,

Enjoy the new air fryer, we have one with the racks as well and you'll definitely appreciate the extra space those have, such a huge time saver!

I still par boil them as usual, then I give them a good shake in the pan to fluff them up. I then spray them with olive oil, and pop them in the air fryer for about 20 minutes. Same with chips, just a light spray with the oil first. We tend to eat more sweet potatoes and squash than white potatoes now, they are lower in carbs and mr Simo is diabetic. Sweet potatoes roast lovely in the air fryer, no need to par boil, and the squash I cut into cubes, again spray before cooking. xx 

Thanks Chelle will try it.  Jon doesn't like sweet potatoes unfortunately and I love them.

I had Rinderroulade yesterday which is a kind of beef roll consisting of bacon, pickles and mustard wrapped in thin slices of beef - was delicious.
