Excited to see what trouble you guys get in to

Leftover beef and broccoli

Made a really good dinner last night mostly in the IP. Beef and broccoli with jasmine rice. First I did about 1/2 a pound of broccoli. I really really like using the IP for this. If you do it this way it comes out perfect. Tender but with a bit of bite. NO mush at all. 1 cup of water place broccoli on trivet or put in steamer type basket manual low pressure 0 minutes quick release Then I removed the broccoli, dumped the residual water and did the jasmine rice right in the pot 1 cup of water 1 cup of rice ( I didn't rinse it) manual high pressure 8 minutes quick release I used this recipe with a few minor changes. I used a lot more hot pepper flakes. I added shiitake mushrooms. I used a little less brown sugar. Oh and I added a good glug or two of oyster sauce. Will make this again for sure.

Need to post some notes in the IP topic on this...turned out really well Started with egg drop soup Then beef and broccoli with jasmine rice and egg rolls

Venison stroganoff last night

Ahhhhh yes, Romper Room....she never ever said my name "I see Joey and Angela and Susie"....never ever my name lol. Then there was Mr. Green Jeans. Good times. I don't remember what brand they were, but they have to be the same as the ones described above with the little pie tins. I liked the chicken ones...but I also remember beef (or some sort of product that they called beef). Those were not good IMO. I'm weird. I liked the gooey crust on the bottom. That was my favorite part.

Welcome home, Chris! I sure enjoyed all of your pics during your trip. You had to have some kind of pickage going on or else your zucchini would have been larger than baseball bats

I bet it's pretty much the same either way. I just found it easier yesterday to bake them a bit. I didn't have room in the freezer for a sheet pan without doing some major moving around.

I spent time yesterday cutting up massive amounts of okra, tossing it with cornmeal and then baking it at 300F for 20 mins. This "sets" it so it doesn't stick together. I put it in zip locks and tossed in the freezer. Next up: jalapeños

Salad night with tomato toasties

LIKE! I love grape. My favorite flavor.

BLT's the night our hunter left. We barely made it through them before falling asleep lol. Last night shrimp alfredo zoodles

*booking flight to NY*

Goes on sale for $99.99 tomorrow. I don't need another I don't need another I don't need another

IP "has expanded their family with the introduction to the Accu Sous Vide Circulator".

Thank you! Yeah, dogs at times eat the ducks. Chum did occasionally when she was younger. She doesn't anymore though. She went to "duck school" (a trainer) for a few weeks and learned a lot.

Well, the hunters have returned and shortly our guy will be taken to the airport. But! Never fear, he will be back on the last day of November for the opening of deer season....soooooo, that means I'll blog again iffin' ya'll will read it . I'll leave you with a few pictures from this morning. The duck pond at a stormy sunrise. I think that's Ronnie's brother with his dog Buck setting out some decoys. Chum retrieving Today's haul And with that, I'm off to do some dishes, bag up more teal and put my feet up for a bit. Thanks for keeping me company this week!

Yes, wild rabbit--twas one of the bandits eating my garden. And, yes, the rabbit is tough if one were to just fry and eat it.

Yes, I fried the rabbit first and then pressure cooked it on high for 30 mins. The crust does not stay crisp at all....some may not like it, but we love it. It's not gooey or anything...I wouldn't even say soggy. I'd say soft lol. I've read debate on the internet about doing it the other way around. My brain seems to think that the breading/crust would not stick to the meat if it was pressure cooked and then fried. But, I've yet to try it. Need to add that to my list of experiments.

Our hunter is skinny as rail and can eat like nobody's business. Makes me jealous lol.

Good morning! It stormed almost all day yesterday and now this morning is gray and chilly. Wind out of the north. Feels like fall Come on snow!!! Ok. I'll get right to it. Here are the teal hearts, livers and breasts I thawed out a rabbit, rested it in some buttermilk, dredged it in seasoned flour and fried it. Here it is in the Instant Pot getting ready to be pressure cooked for 30 mins. Doves and a few teal breasts with jalapeño and bacon, seasoned with pepper and garlic and Dale's Deviled eggs/ cheese and salami for snacks Doves on the grill Fried rabbit and fried teal livers and hearts Okra Mac and cheese My plate. Not as pretty as our hunters the night before lol Whoops. Out of order. The finished doves and teal

Suzi, I love all of your knowledge. Yeah, no wonder I don't like wood ducks. I am totally done in. I have dinner pics but I will post tomorrow. I am SO full I am not sure I'll make it upstairs to bed lol. See you guys in the morning.

Teal are strictly grain eaters.... so yeah that's why they are SO good.

Aha! Thank you!

My brain is very slow today. Remind me what ABT's are?
