Interstellar (movie night) was a nice break from doomscrolling, and provided perspective: at least we're not trapped with a sociopath on the other side of a wormhole while all of planet Earth lives through another dustbowl. But the scene where they rewrote the history books hit a little too close.

Because a co-worker didn't believe me, I spent this evening trying to find photos of my bowl cuts from the 1980s. So far this is the best I've come up with, but I know more cringy ones exist.

What are your favorite air fryer recipes? Bonus if they are healthy, quick, and substantially easier or tastier in the air fryer than other cooking methods. I just got an air fryer and am looking for suggestions on how best to use it!
