I have an addiction to beets. Weird, I know. Beets made any way (as long as they are tender). I love Aunt Nellie's brand pickled beets but I couldn't find any in the big city store that I went to last week, so I purchased some fresh ones and made my own. The IP worked like a charm. 15 mins on high and NR. Skins peeled right off easily. My fingers, however, are still pink.

And after Ann's beautiful pictures we get down and dirty with a chili cheese dog last night lol.

I love the gumdrop lady out front

Thank you so much! So, I don't have to hit the 235F, just melt it again?

It's sugar, butter, Karo syrup, buttermilk, soda and vanilla. Yes, you beat it just like fudge while it's cooling. Then you add the nuts and vanilla.

My mom and stepdad sent us a gunny sack of oysters for Christmas!!!! Yay for us So, for the first day of winter we had oyster chowder and oysters on the half shell.

I figure this fits here....you make chex mix by baking it Sriracha maple snack mix. Going to make another batch today and increase both the sriracha and maple. This stuff is good.....

My Grammy always made buttermilk candy this time of year. I found her recipe in a box that my mom gave me so I decided to give it a go. My first batch last night set up beautifully. My second batch, done this morning around 6:30 did not set up. It's more like caramel sauce with nuts in it. Sigh. I have no idea what I did wrong. I boiled it until it hit 235F just like the first batch. The only different thing I did is double the recipe..... Need to google to see if it can be salvaged somehow. Any ideas? This is my good batch: Lessons I learned: Never make candy early in the morning.....and I do way better at candy while drinking wine.

Mine aren't Trader Joe's, but, I also use the IP for heating. Makes the BEST tamales that way. From frozen I do 5 mins on high using steam function. QR.

Me too.

Lol, I'm sure there are things that I don't know yet, either. Glad I could help I don't want you to have to dirty up another pan by sautéing on the stove

When I push the 'SAUTE' button then I can push the 'ADJUST' button and that changes it to either 'LESS, NORMAL OR MORE'. The 'LESS NORMAL OR MORE' is located right underneath the 'LOW -HIGH' pressure indicators.

Are you searing on low? You can change it to medium or high. High is almost too high for me unless I'm watching it really close.

No, I've not seen small eggs in stores. Are there any chicken farms and/or people that have their own chickens? You'd have to get pullet eggs....which, I think this time of year (if you are located somewhere coldish) would be hard to find......

Ronnie got a couple of Canadian Geese the other day. 'Course, I made him keep the hearts and livers so along with those I fried the tenders off of the breasts (also had some chicken gizzards) Tenders are at the top on the left. I also pressure cooked the legs for an hour and a half. I am going to shred them and give the meat to the doggies and kitties......they turned out so tender that we ended up snacking on some of them before dinner. Soooo, these might actually turn into goose and noodles to eat on the first day of winter.

WANT

That is so pretty @Kerry Beal !

Thawed out a venison roast and made stew last night.

I'm in awe. How fun!

Oh food is just so good cooked over a fire. I LOVE those spoons. Truly they look like something my Grammy would have that was bought in the 1950's.

Well, you're way ahead of me! I didn't get the email.....I did get a confirmation number so hopefully that will still get me a new blade. I'm tempted to use my old one...but it would be my luck that it would break now.

Kay, you've worked your butt off!! I love everything! I still need to make some of that bacon jam. Need to find some ends somewhere. And the quail eggs and bologna. Brilliant!

I just did it by going here . The very first thing at the top it will ask you 3 questions. My answer to all 3 was no. If your answer is yes, then your blade isn't one of the recalled ones. Anyway, if your answer is no, it will walk you through the process from there. It's a really fast process. Once you're done they will give you and service notification number. I wrote it down just in case.

I can't focus on anything else besides the fruit (?) to the left behind the woman. Are they apples? I get distracted easily lol.

Welcome!
