I don't think I've ever used another kind of potato besides a russet for potato salad. Somewhere in one of these IP threads I did the eggs and taters together and it worked like a charm. I'll have to go back and try to find my post. Last night I used my new thingy for the first time. I LOVE it. I pressure cooked some gizzards. Very easy to get in and out of the IP and nothing stuck to the pans. Also, yesterday Ronnie pressure cooked some country ham and then used the grinder on it. I made a huge and very good batch of ham salad. Then I added some pasta to some of the salad and made ham pasta salad to go with dinner Good stuff.

I can't even hit the like button over that.

Kerry, it's no wonder you're a little under the weather--you have been running non-stop! You take it easy and make alleguede carry all of your luggage.

Kim, that is some beautiful pork and chicken up there! Lamb chops, pesto pasta salad, beans from my garden last night

I'll trade you some beets for some rhubarb Breakfast for dinner last night. I made too much food. I wanted both asparagus and yellow squash, so I made that along with hash browns and some sausages. It was fun making it--I did the eggs and hollandaise sauce SV. Super easy and I liked that you could hold them in the water bath until the rest of the meal was ready to plate. Ronnie got super creative so I had to show you his plating skills LOL My boring plating skills

Looking good! In years past we used to lay down newspaper under the straw and that worked pretty well.

Ya'll. I am beside myself with excitement. My first ever green beans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lightly breaded bass last night in an effort to make sure Ronnie catches some fish today at the lake (I figured if we eat fish the night before he will catch a ton because I don't like eating the same thing twice in a row lol)

SV'd pork chops, our first beets--just with a little salt and pepper--SO good (Ronnie thinks they taste like dirt but I love 'em), our first squash, homemade bread, taters and spaghetti salad. I was stuffed.

I got a new accessory for my IP today. It fits perfectly. I think I'm going to love it. It has 3 "trays". To slide them out you move one of the bracket thingys over Here is the link on Amazon.

Ok will do. I have a lot more that I planted directly by seed that should be ready in a month or so. I think I'm going to try to can some in my pressure canner.

I'm so excited to eat them! I'll probably do them in the IP ..... They are probably bigger because Ronnie started the plants in the greenhouse a couple months ago and then we transplanted them.

Thanks, Andie. I think I didn't dig a big enough hole. That and I bet we didn't have a hard enough freeze that year. Maybe I'll try again.....

My first ever beets And some squash. Would have had a zucchini but Chum ate it --and ripped two plants up while she was at it. Sigh.

I think the butter warmers are awesome! Oysters and some shrimp last night

That is a thing of beauty. I'm immensely jealous. I tried to get rhubarb to grow here and I can't do it.

I had all of my kitchen toys humming yesterday. Two instant pots full of chicken feet making broth and my anova and gourmia making pork belly and then later a couple of eggs for the pho. First time doing eggs SV. We loved them. The pork belly was damn good, too. There are rice noodles under all of the fixins' . Oh and I also made a sheet pan full of pork eggrolls that I will freeze today.

Look what I got today from my mom I can't wait to watch them!

Really really really really hot wings

Well, thank you but it's just cheesy toast with a crappy tomato on top.

I've long said I was going to grind up some of the wheat but I've never gotten around to it.

I made a dove casserole in the IP last night. I soaked the doves in milk and egg and then dredged them in seasoned flour and then quick fried them. Then I made a mushroom gravy (onions, mushrooms, garlic, seasoned flour, chicken broth). I poured one cup of water in the liner. This little casserole dish fit perfectly on the trivet. 15 mins on high. Natural release. Very tender and good

Found another package of doves in the freezer. I think this is finally the last one. I decided to make one of Ronnie's favorites--dove casserole. I quick fried the doves and made a mushroom gravy. Instead of using the oven, I used the Instant Pot to finish it off. Twas good.

Happy Anniversary!!! Everything looks wonderful!
