    What are you doing with the tofu before it goes in the air fryer. I would like to eat tofu but need to find a nice way to do it...it is high in both protein and calcium so good, but I can never make it tasty.

    Glad you are WFH will make the business easier
    I mainly use this recipe. Tofu is so much nicer if it's air fried to make it crispy. Another good recipe is here

    Hope Mr SA is ok. TBH, we often just scroll up & down trying to find something worth watching. Its such a load of rubbish these days. I think if I keep going back up & down I might find something I missed. Lol

    Hope Mr SA is ok. It must be worrying for you when he does these things. Years after my Dh had a bad seizure (they think it was stress induced but don’t really know) if he rubs his eyes and blinks I keep an eye on him, as that’s how he started. It must be very scary with Mr SA
