I just have to bump this up for the holiday season. I can't tell you guys how often having these in the freezer has saved me stress and time. I use them to make a quick breakfast for Ronnie in the morning with an egg. I use them for appetizers. Heck I've used them for dinner. SO handy. I just made a huge batch.

Oh I bet not. I get those coupons in the mail--I've just never read the fine print. I will next time.

Sheesh. The list would be shorter if they would just say what IS included lol.

Excellent idea! Will do.

Me and the VacMaster have been busy this duck season

A few meals to catch up on. It's been a phenomenal duck season here--we've eaten a LOT of duck. I've been searching for new recipes. I had a thought that maybe I could make @Ann_T's honey garlic chicken only using duck instead of chicken. I had some teal breasts so I sliced them like I do the chicken. It worked really well! Very tender. Tried to make a huge batch of egg rolls so I could have some in the freezer. My wrappers had been in the freezer for too long and they didn't hold up well. So, I got a few made. Must go to the Asian market next week so I can make more. SV'd a pork loin. As usual, very tender. Salad using some of @HungryChris 's marinated mushrooms (I'm almost out ) Ronnie's brother makes the best hot sauce and he gave us a jar so hot wings last night.

Host's note: This and the next 8 posts were originally in the Instant Pot topic. I don't want to de-rail this IP thread, I'll just drop this VacMaster link here and await news from @divalasvegas that she's purchased one 😁

I always salt my beans before cooking.

Oh ditto for me--there are only two of us, but same. I throw away more shredded cabbage cole slaw mix than you would believe. Same for limes. Oh and also mushrooms. Sigh.

@Anna N You really are inspiring.

You would have had to tie my hands behind my back and ply me with a glass of wine or something to keep me from buying every one of those lol.

Those tomatoes right above look like real--home grown, good tomatoes!

Spam musubi!!!

Shouldn't read this when I'm starving.

Well dang. I used to go to craft shows a few years ago, but like you said, they are few and far between anymore. I wonder if you could do a set up at a fall Farmer's Market?

@Kim Shook How did your bake sale go??? I'm sure your goodies sold like hot cakes!

It snowed all day yesterday. It was so perfect. Not much of it stuck, but I'll take what I can get. Hopefully this means a big snowy winter Anyway, venison chili had to be made--and some cornbread. Half cheese and Hatch chile and half plain.

I meant to ask earlier, was there room to bring your IP with you?

Bass and frog legs Pepperoni pizza

I love being on the road with you---I know that at times you very much miss your house, though, but, hey...at least you have us 😁. J'adore the fireplace under the TV. I've never seen that before. So cozy. I never knew Wal-Mart allowed that, but you're sure right. Guarantee it gives them additional business and their parking lots are the size of Texas. There is a chance for measurable snow here tomorrow and Thursday so I hope you guys are past me....I know how allergic your husband is of the white stuff.

Reuben sandwiches last night

I saw a commercial for one of these last week and did a search here and didn't find any mention of it either. I use the heck out of my Instant Pots. I'm very intrigued by the claim that it crisps......

LOL, they are small ducks

Your meatloaf always looks amazing.

Ronnie shot some nice pintail ducks so I roasted them in the CSO. Had that along with some rice pilaf. Ignore the awful green stuff that was supposed to be asparagus. I think the grocery store actually sold us small trees.
