Air fryer buffalo wings and onion rings - some comfort food for hunkering down during an indecisive cyclone. Half traditional, with Frank's Red Hot, and half just dry rubbed with Cajun seasoning.

PS - My wife is American and was a chef in Wisconsin for 20 years, so if anyone wants the recipe for the best flipping ranch you'll ever taste, hit me up!

Oh boy. This looks so good.

Wishing you blue skies in the near future.

Ps. Very eager to know your wife's ranch recipe anytime your ready.

No probs! This is her restaurant recipe, so adjust quantities unless you want 2.5 litres of it.

16 cloves garlic, smashed and minced

1 cup chives, minced

1 cup parsley, minced

10 cups mayonnaise

1 cup buttermilk

3 tablespoons dry mustard

6 tablespoons white wine vinegar

6 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt/pepper to taste

Mix!

For chipotle ranch, add 3 tbsp pureed chipotle peppers.

I could eat this stuff with a spoon! (And have, much to my shame...)

That sounds doable. Thanks to the both of you. 👍

She was also a pastry chef, and if she's stuck inside for a rainy weekend, you can bet she's going to bake something. This is brownie topped with peanut butter, peanut butter cups, pretzels, and cashews. 🥵

Oh my!

As a former Seattle chef this is fantastic!

my ranch, though, is more basic but still fucked people up (fight me!) here because the only other reference they have for ranch dressing is store bought garbage.

also jealous you guys have buttermilk, there is none to be had here, the closest thing is Kiefer which works just as well...but it's not the same.

That's funny, she's always complaining about the things she can't get here that she used in the states! Her biggest gripes that I can think of off the top of my head are butterscotch chips and crescent rolls. But she loves that you can buy pouring custard ready made here.

I've lived off and on outside the US for a good.paet of my adult life and I used to gripe about what I couldn't find but now embrace the differences.

Nothing open on Sunday? I'll plan better or go without.

Fruits and vegetables taste amazing? Fantastic, when they are out of season, I'll wait for their return instead of settling for beautiful but tasteless out of season bullshit.

No buttermilk? ok....gotta find an alternative.

One of the most interesting things I have found here is that premade foods (think chicken nuggets, pot stickers etc.) are absolutely terrible and I think it's because they're not allowed to fill them with so many chemicals, flavor additives, etc. So in that regard the US food has an advantage....but that's one they can have.

Funny that you mentioned nuggets. The missus has a source for factory seconds mcnuggets at $20 for a 3kg (6.6 pound) box. Done in the air fryer they're better than any nugget I've had from actual mcdonalds, and we've yet to figure out why they were rejected from the factory. But yeah, every now and again I really wish I could get a hot pocket!

Cereal. Lots of cereal. I go through phases where if I could live on it, I would.
