NOOOOOOOO embrace the tomato--never never plant fewer plants...always more plants!!

Must be. My husband came home with a LOT of eggs. He can't pass up a good deal lol.

Breakfast last night.

The whites were perfectly set. No slime. It's hard to tell that in the silicone container but you can kind of tell by looking at the egg on the toast.

Alright. So, yesterday, I made a vow that I was NOT going to stop trying to make a poached egg in the IP until I got it right. Large eggs were 29 cents a dozen so I felt ok about burning through a few if I needed to. Thinking about it now, I should have weighed the eggs but I didn't. The first egg I used was one of the store bought ones. I had excellent results on the first try: I placed one cup of water in the IP. I placed a buttered silicone holder on the trivet that comes with the pot. I placed the lid on and closed the vent. I set the time for 4 minutes. Low pressure and used the Steam setting. Quick release. Perfect placed egg. We had breakfast for dinner so I used the same method only this time I did 3 eggs--in 3 separate silicone holders. Same perfect results. If one uses ramekins or some kind of bowl, this method would have to be adjusted to a shorter time, I think.

Norm, your son is a lucky guy! Looks amazing!

My husband found some Colorado peaches! Now....what to make....what to make..... I will be canning, too.

I needed a big steak last night. Silver Queen, hash browns (I baked a bunch of taters in the steam boy because they were going to be bad soon) AND AND AND the first (and maybe only) tomato from our garden. It was heavenly.

Kim, you are definitely missed, my friend! Roast beef sandwiches last night. Meat was SV'd for about 8 hours. Thought I had more of @cyalexa 's buns in the freezer, but I only had hotdog ones...so we had to settle for homemade white bread lol.

We got some beef roasts (I think they are rump--I'm too lazy to go check in the freezer right now lol) on sale the other day. Brined one for about 24 hours and SV'd it at 134F for about 8 hours. I wanted roast beef sandwiches. Turned out pretty good. Next time I'll either do a stronger salt mixture or brine it for two days. The tenderness was good. I got the big slicer down so we could make nice, thin slices.

Nice! Happy Birthday to Sartoric's mum! Along with the food, I love that dish in the olive picture--the polka dot one

Yes I'm having a decent eggplant year. I can finally branch out and make some things I've been wanting to try....especially since I have no tomatoes with which to make spag. sauce with (I love eggplant in that). Thank you! No, a potter in Colorado makes a lot of the pieces I use. My mom buys them for me when she sees something she thinks I will like .

Now, that's a new combo to me.

Beautiful, David.

Fried chicken and gizzards, squash, mac and cheese and Silver Queen

It would probably be awesome. I've been thinking of making an "apple" (using zukes) pie......

Bumping for this year. I read this topic every zucchini season. I sure made a lot of bread a couple years ago.

Zoodles

I froze my first layer without the stick/top on.

Happy Father's Day! This looks SO good. If I can find some pasta shells like that, I want to make this.

Lol, it was bigger than it looks. I was full. For a while. I'm sure I had ice cream later.

Baba Ghanoush with some flour tortilla chips that I made in the CSO (really good---crisp on the outside, puffy in the middle). My first time making Ghanoush (I think). If I've made it before, I've blocked it out. I like it!

Nope, not a bit crispy....but still good.

I make these...well, too much lol. They are SO good. I actually fry mine first....soak wings in buttermilk...dredge in spiced up flour...quick fry in oil. Put in the IP and brush with the butter/Franks and do on high pressure for the same 10 mins. SUPER good.

STOP SHOWING ME THIS PORNOGRAPHY. (yeah the brazil game was awesome) Do I need a fryer? No...I have a deep fryer that lives in the basement. I don't need this. But it looks awesome. Difficulty in cleaning would put me off, though.
