@Anna N I was thinking about your tiffin and wondered if you could stack part of it in your IP and cook in it?

Good to have you here, Ian!

This is brilliant!

It was cold here yesterday so that called for red beans, andouille sausage and rice with cornbread and collard greens from the garden.

I understand what low proof on the left means, but what does reliable on the right mean? Like you can rely on it to get you drunk lol?

Steak night

I will make these soon. I am roll challenged. Mine always turn out like little loaves of bread....never like the fluffy rolls.

LOL! I haven't seen the movie yet, but I read the book Well, you know I didn't invent it....I just raved so much about it that it got your attention I wasn't planning on having fish last night but Ronnie caught a grass frog and had to go down to our river and fish for a while. He brought home a nice big drum so I fried that along with some shrimp. Oysters to go with.

Oh good job! I thought I had a murky memory of something like this. Sorry I wasn't any help @ElsieD I do need to experiment. I have a bag of wild rice from Rancho Gordo that I've had forever that I would like to try.

I have not but I think someone here has done a mix like that? I'm curious too....... Or maybe I did and it was a fail a long time ago? My old brain can't remember. @Anna N did you make wild rice at one point?

Anna! You lucky dog!! I am pea green with envy. That is so neat!

Asparagus salad and pizza last night

Yes!!!! Hatch chiles!!!!!! Oh, I'm so glad you found some!! I bet that salsa is amazing. I can't wait to hear what you think. I do not think I could pass up that pottery, though.

Jumbo ham sandwiches

I had leftover fresh made whipped cream. I couldn't let it go bad.

Ok, so I made asparagus again last night. Same method except this time I did 7 minutes. I know I said I was going to do 6 but a lot of my spears were big fat ones so I felt like 7 was better. Success! Not mush, but not crisp. Just how we like it.

We had a wonderful Easter--just the two of us SV'd lamb chops (which I liked--and I'm not a huge lamb fan but these were good), rice pilaf and asparagus with hollandaise because after I read what @kayb was having I had to copy that. And, I had to use up 10 egg yolks because I tried once again to make @Kim Shook's favorite Rhulman's angel food cake. The last time I tried (it was my first ever try at angel food cake) I didn't turn the cake upside down to cool so it turned into a shrinky dink cake lol. This time I found a pan downstairs--I think my mom gave it to me after my first cake debacle--it's a long pan almost like a Pullman loaf pan and it has feet on the top so I didn't have to find a bottle to rest my other pan on. Anyway, yay! I had cake success! I used my Grammy's dishes...I should use them more often. I love them. This is half of the cake.

@Norm Matthews That cake is awesome! Fried catfish and shrimp last night

Ok! I think I have enough for dinner tonight so I'll report back

All good here! Thank you! Storms are on there way though from now until like Monday....BUT we don't have much that has emerged from the dirt so.....

First asparagus pick yesterday so I thought I'd try cooking in the IP. I put a cup of water in the bottom and placed the trivet in. On top of that I made a foil "boat" and put the asparagus in along with some garlic, Lawry's salt and Lemon Pepper. 4 mins on high and QR. Came out crisp/tender. Tasted SO fresh. I like my asparagus a tad more done so next time I'll go 6 mins and see what I get.

First asparagus of the year from the garden!

Picked the first asparagus today Blurry picture. The cats were wanting to eat the lilacs

Alright. Planted a ton more beets. Found a seed tape of them that I had bought. Also, 6 very long rows of green beans and 4 rows of lettuce. And Ronnie transplanted a bunch of cilantro that was growing in the yard for me. And he also transplanted the Silver Queen corn he's been growing in his green house. I know, I know. I will fall over and die if they actually make corn. edited to add a couple boring pictures. Well, one boring picture and a picture of Ronnie's corn that is going to probably die lol. Boring picture of just the garden area: Ronnie's beloved corn: I also got some okra seeds and some delicata (sp?) squash seeds in the ground. Never had that kind of squash but have read such good things about it here that I had to try. I'm pooped for today...will probably try to plant some more tomorrow.
