Leftover chicken pasta from last week but take the meat off the thighs and mix in some red pepper flakes and mozzarella when reheating the sauce.

I wanted garlic knots but only had 20 minutes. Enough time for a soda bread and air fryer? Looking online I found exactly one recipe three times. And it wasn’t for an air fryer. But I can math.

I didn’t have buttermilk. I had expiring milk and vinegar.
