What goes better with a Lord of the Rings marathon than a “second breakfast”–inspired spread? Can you even watch Monty Python without shrubbery crudités nearby? Why not a Twilight rewatch with a selection of apple slices and salami rosettes?

Kick Cancer’s Butt – Great Cycle Challenge

Thursday, September 1 to Friday, September 30

Party Diges’s IT guy, Chuck Gregory, is riding for the third year in a row in The Great Cycle Challenge, a fantastic fundraising event benefitting the Children’s Cancer Research Center. His goals are 300 miles and $500 in donations. Help him to meet or exceed those targets!

Chuck’s riding year has been challenging. In February, he was hit by a car when riding his electric trike, and it took months for him to be able to ride again. Fortunately, he did get an insurance settlement for the trike itself, which almost covered the replacement. More recently, he was investing in a folding bicycle to go with his trike, but he had some trouble keeping the wheels on the road and his head in the air instead of the other way round. The bike was great but just not right for him, so it’s back with Carvelle Bikes (https://www.carvellebikes.com/) to be sold on consignment…

So, the rest of his ride this year will be on the trike. Be aware that he still has to pedal, hard, even though it’s an electric trike.

Any contribution you make for the Great Cycle Challenge will be appreciated, not only by Chuck and Party Digest, but most importantly by the kids who are having to deal with this terrible disease.

Photos are from various trips Chuck’s taken this year as part of the challenge.

Fall Back into Cooking with the Crunch Air Fryer Oven

The summer is winding down, the kids are back in school, and that means falling back into the usual routine, but don’t let that bring you down. With a new season comes delicious new possibilities, especially with the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven. It is a versatile, easy-to-use kitchen electric that will become your new go-to for cooking this season. Even Forbes.com picked the Crunch Air Fryer Oven as one of their Must-Have Home Kitchen Upgrades!

The Crunch Air Fryer Oven functions as 7 kitchen tools in one. It can be used to air fry, bake, roast, toast, and more. It has 8 preset cooking functions for different food items with their own preset cooking times and temperatures. It even has a Dehydrate function that lets you make chips, dried fruits, jerky, and more!

Using the Crunch Air Fryer Oven is as simple as preparing your food, setting your time & temperature, and pressing start. The Crunch has a touch control panel and a dial that scrolls through cooking times and temperatures to easily program. Whether you’re a kitchen novice or a culinary master, the Crunch will make cooking all your favorite foods as easy as pie (yes, it can make pies too).

The Crunch Air Fryer Oven comes with 2 non-stick cooking trays, a rotisserie spit with forks, a rotisserie basket, and a rotisserie retrieval tool. Yes, that’s right, the Crunch has a rotisserie feature! The rotisserie basket lets you skip the traditional air fryer basket tossing requirement for a hands-free cooking experience. The rotisserie spit with forks lets you prepare an evenly cooked whole chicken, succulent roasts, pork loin, and more, adding a whole new dimension to the traditional air fryer.

The Crunch has an internal capacity of 12.7qts. offering more space for more food. It is great for larger portions and having two cooking trays lets you cook more food than a singular air fryer basket would. All the Crunch’s accessories are dishwasher safe as well, for easy cleanup. It has a dishwasher-safe, non-stick drip tray inside that can be removed for cleaning as well.

Our founder Lakhinder Vohra got one of these and he says it’s fantastic! He might stay home once in a while instead of always going out on the town…

Coming Soon – Great Cycle Challenge

Thursday, September 1 to Friday, September 30

ONE MONTH. ONE GOAL. FIGHT KIDS’ CANCER.
This September, we’re riding to end childhood cancer and save little lives.

Every hill we climb and every mile we pedal will be to honor those lives we’ve lost and stand with those brave kids still fighting to survive. These kids won’t give up, and neither will we.

Our goal is to fund life-saving research to develop safer and more effective treatments, and find cures for all childhood cancers.

Because kids should be living life, NOT fighting for it.

Party Digest’s Chuck Gregory will be riding for the third year in a row. Stay tuned for updates on fundraising and riding goals.
