I try. I really do.
I'm not always the brightest crayon in the box. Sometimes my elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. I'm sometimes a few sodas short of a six-pack. I'm sure you get what I'm saying here.
I received a WONDERFUL present this weekend for my birthday - An Air Fryer!!! I couldn't wait to fire that thing up, so after the weekend celebrations ended, I decided to take the last few hours of my day to learn how to use this wonderful new contraption I've heard so many wonderful things about.
I took the instructions out of the plastic bag that came with the air fryer. The instructions were drawn, not written. I don't consider myself a genius, but I can look at pictures and follow the instructions. I can even READ instructions and follow them.
After looking at the drawn instructions for the air fryer I took my thawed chicken out the refrigerator. I cleaned and seasoned it and put it in the air fryer basket like the pictures showed me. I set the temperature and timer to preheat and NOTHING happened. The power light wasn't on but the timer was ticking away like crazy!
I looked at the instructional drawings again, followed the instructions again and still, nothing happened. I thought, damn, I have the worse luck with stuff.
Before I had to return this perfect gift that wasn't working back to the store, I decided to find a youtube video and see what I was doing wrong. I watched the video and saw I was doing everything according to the drawn instructions. So why is my luck so bad with these kitchen accessories and electronic devices I wondered? I retrieved the box from the garbage area because I would need it to repack the brand new not working air fryer back to the store. I wondered what I had done with the stupid receipt.
Before I repacked the beautiful defective air fryer I thought I'd try one more thing. I sent my BatMate (my tribe member Jeff) a text and asked him if he could come to see what was going on with this defective device. After work, he came over to see what was going on with the brand new, wonderful defective air fryer. He placed the air fryer compartments in their proper places, set the temperature and turned on the timer. Again, the timer was ticking, but the power light wasn't on. I told him it kept doing the same thing with me. He looked at the plug and realized I had the tea kettle plugged in, not the air fryer. He plugged in the air fryer and it worked like the instructions said it should.
It's not that I have bad luck with these devices, I'm not always the brightest crayon in the box. Sometimes my elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. I'm sometimes a few sodas short of a six-pack. I'm sure you get what I'm saying here.
Can you guess which device was plugged in and which wasn't?
