I'm making these too go with supper. I will let you guys know if they are good.

They look good.

The issue I would have with them is that since I live in Arizona, I've never seen a need to fry our air artificially as Mother Nature does a bang up job of it most of the year. Right now we are in the dry-but-not-fried season so I would have to wait three or four months before I could try them.

Hope they're good.

Wow have you ever seen one disappear that long before ?
this was the longest I've seen him disappear. he just crawls under the sand and stayed there. I have poked fingers in there though to make sure he was still alive and not disintegrating. I thought maybe he was molting but not yet. must be getting enough food there.

That only leads us to one conclusion, @kevgib67 lives in your attic, he greets you every morning with that gif, and we hadn't noticed, lol.

I have a pokey stuffed animal somewhere up there and a Gumby action figure. As soon as I find them I’ll report back. @kevgib67 probably does live in my attic with all the Gumby stuff I have

Hey, just wanted to let you all know I appreciate all your genuine concern! Just want to let you know you’re all full of ( wait, this is a family friendly forum and Rev already has me on triple secret probation). This next song is for you!
 
Played around with my phone settings a bit tonight. The corals seem to be happy I think even the little mini scoly that I wasn't sure would make it seems to be doing better,
