Welcome

Welcome to my ever-evolving blog. It started out as a blog on Beachbody workouts and products, mainly when I was a Beachbody coach. I no longer coach, not because I don't believe in Beachbody's programs (I subscribe to Beachbody on Demand and use their workouts every day), I am just not a salesperson and hated that aspect of it. I am more than willing to answer questions about my experiences with their products and the various workouts, and I feel freer to do so without the appearance of giving a biased review of something.

I have also started adding reviews for various things I have purchased like movies, books, CDs, and other products. This was brought about by a fight with Amazon in which all of my reviews were removed over a completely bullshit allegation that I posted a review that violated their terms of service. After going back and forth with the morons in the community-reviews department (even after they admitted that my posts did not violate their guidelines) they restored my account (which took them six months to do), but I have been posting my reviews on my blog to have them preserved in case something like that happens again. And here, I will post uncensored reviews so I will swear from time to time and post reviews that may be longer than Amazon's character limit. Everything I post here on any topic or product is my personal opinion, and I take no compensation for any product reviews I post. I am a member of Amazon's vine program and because I get those products for free, I keep those reviews on Amazon only, but everything I have purchased with my own money, whether from Amazon or some other store/website/outlet, I will post here.  

I also plan to do some longer blog posts on various topics, such as how to learn physics, how to get through calculus, and longer reviews of workout programs as I do them. Basically, whatever strikes me as interesting at the time.  As you can see if you navigate around the blog, I had many years in between postings. During that time I was going back to school to get an engineering degree, and learning material that I avoided my first time through college was a different experience and one that gave me a lot of insight into how to do well in those classes, which I will try to impart here for those who are looking to get a science or engineering degree.

Product Review: Air Fryer Disposable Paper Liners Square

 


As anyone who owns one of the air fryers (or the combination machines), they can get messy depending on what you are making in them. I have the original Ninja foodie combination grill, air-fryer, oven, etc, and tend to use the air fryer function the most. Depending on what I am making, it can collect a lot of grease in the bottom, even when air frying, so I got these to make clean-up a bit easier. Basically, you let the unit pre-heat like normal, then you put this in the basket and put your food in. They are not really sturdy enough to put the food in first and then put the combination of the food and the liner into the machine without risking spilling. It will definitely work better for larger items like chicken breasts, or a bunch of fries that can be pretty evenly distributed throughout the liner. This will help to keep the liner held down and not curl up during the cooking process. Things like meatballs, however, if you are just doing a few of them, will not hold the liner down well and the sides will curl up as it gets hot, which makes it a bit harder to get the food out at the end. You do have to be a bit careful taking the liners out so you do not spill any grease that has collected as you bring it to the trash can, but overall, they do work and definitely help keep your machine cleaner so you do not have to wash it as much.
