Allie, have you heard anything positive or negative from the people you feared might be problematic?

Bupkis.

Actually, my sisters whose two boys are on the watch list, intimated that, although they have not contacted me "it's not their way" they are supportive. Who knows?
The other nephew - from whose brothers and sister I've gotten really nice notes is radio silent. And he and I normally do text on occasion.
And nothing from the other two brothers in law... but again, nothing negative just nothing positive.
I personally am treating all things like that as positive under proven otherwise.

Mostly for cooking drumsticks and chicken thighs.  The oil accumulates and it takes a while to clean but the chicken tastes great if I marinade it overnight.

Reheating Chinese pork I buy at the Asian Market.

Quiche turned out okay but took some cooking in the air fryer due to the dish being to tight in the basket. Started a thread in cooking "air fryer" to see how anyone has got on with one.

So who has an air fryer and how do you use it? Do you have a recipe book? Just tried a quiche recipe from mine, came out okay but the silicon dish I have was tight in the basket and stopped the air flow so it took ages to set . Tipped it out upside down and managed to get it in the basket with no dish, pastry was still raw on bottom but 15mins and it was cooked. Tastes fine, had a big slice for lunch.

Iraq Criminalizes Queer Relationships With Maximum 15 Years in Prison

Iraq's parliament continued to criminalize queer people on Saturday by passing a bill that makes same-sex relations punishable by up to 15 years in prison, furthering its extreme anti-LGBTQ+ legislation of recent years. The bill, which targets queer relationships on the basis of clamping down on "moral depravity," also criminalizes transgender people and the health workers who care for them. It threatens to imprison for one to three years anyone who seeks "biological sex change based on personal desire and inclination" as well as the doctors who perform their surgeries. The bill has drawn explicit condemnation from human rights groups, who have warned for years about Iraq's policies targeting LGBTQ+ people. "Iraq has effectively codified in law the discrimination and violence members of the LGBTI community have been subjected to with absolute impunity for years," Amnesty International's Iraq researcher, Razaw Salihy, told The Guardian. "The amendments concerning LGBTI rights are a violation of fundamental human rights and put at risk Iraqis whose lives are already hounded daily."
