  1. I stopped shopping at my nearby Walmart for that very reason. i'd get to the store around 10AM or so and find half the shelves in produce empty. It was a waste of my time to go there. And, FCSOL*, if it's not on the shelves there's no sale! *forchristsakeoutloud
  2. I made pot roast a couple weeks ago and used all the leftover meat for sandwiches...they were SO good! your photo has inspired me to do that again.
  3. Wentto try it but now Incan't find the darned thing! Did I throw it away? It's possible.
  4. So I needed to read the manual? Go figure.
  5. I have this weird issue with my mini, the little plastic drip cup doesn't fit its mount and won't stay on. Not a big deal because there hasn't been any output to it yet. Nothing to get worked up about.
  6. Any word from the mfr. about the mini pot problem?
  7. My favorite wintertime soup is a Potato, Sausage and Kale soup that is SO good; the broth is every bit as good as the solids. Recipes available via Google or I can post the one I use. Some recipes use kielbasa, prefer spicy Italian.
  8. I put a 'set' of hocks in my shopping cart then discovered the shipping cost was even more than the hocks. i still want them though, they look much meatier than those I can get locally.

    Dinner 2018

    a "throw up"? Meaning a toss-up? I get the connection to the cat barf.
  10. My experience with EFPs is from a while back but what I didn't like about the ones I used was that 'heat ring' in the base...it caused very uneven cooking. Apart from the fact that they didn't hold a consistent temperature.
  11. Did you have the valve in the right position for PC? Don't laugh, that happened to me.
  12. Has anyone compared KFC chicken with Popeye's? We have both nearby but the KFC is a whole lot easier and quicker to get to so I haven't tried Popeye's yet...and I also want to try their shrimp.
  13. I like using my crockpot when it's hot or just when I want time for other things. There are more and more recipes that can successfully made that way without losing flavor, texture or appearance. I make my mac and cheese that way now and it's still good.
  14. I made this cornbread today, it's almost cool enough to try!

    Dinner 2018

    Dinner tonight is leftover short ribs and gravy pressure cooked in the mini IP along with crockpot Mac and cheese presently cooking in the mini IP. Lots of time to relax and enjoy cocktail time.
  16. Like Kaye, I use my IP, CSO, other pressure cookers plus I sometimes will deep-fry or grill out on the deck. i make more salads when it's hot as well. on my trip to Costa Rica a few years ago, in early January it was still much too hot for me. Fortunately, the condos we stayed in had AC. I can't stand the heat here in the summer! AC is essential to my comfort.
  17. Thank you, I will order some. It seems I was looking in the wrong place, I thought the hocks mentioned were from Edward's.
  18. I looked for hocks at their website but couldn't find any; do you have to call to order?
  19. Thinking about St. Patrick's Day coming up I'm all about making Soda Breads. KAF is featuring a new recipe that I haven't yet tried but it is on my list.... Cabot Cheddar Soda Bread as well as: Rye Soda Bread and then there's my all-time favorite can't-be-beat American Irish Soda Bread

    Breakfast! 2018

    At one of the Elmer's restaurants in Portland we used to be able get Dungeness Crab Benedict in season...It was wonderful!
  21. I hand wash a few things every day....pots and pans, knives and glassware. If I didn't hand wash my glasses I'd never have any clean ones since I only run the d/w about once a week or so. I have two of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014FVDJ0M/ref=twister_B0089A2M2C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 so there's always a clean one when the other needs laundering. The water beads up on top so they dry very quickly. There's no standing water and no musty odors.

    Dinner 2018

    If I saw snakes (especially live ones) in the grocery store I'd have to head for the door, just like I did when I first saw TONGUE!!!! And BRAINS! I live a sheltered life.
  23. Dinner last night was an Instant Pot recipe for short ribsr and it was amazing. I'll be having some of the leftover beef as well as the mashed potatoes tonight along with a slice of my freshly baked bread. Can't wait for my IP corned beef dinner coming soon.
  24. Since I’m usually cooking for just one, I use my mini lots more than my 6-qt. IP. So the lid for the mini will be really useful for all those times I use it to steam and slow cook. Love the smaller footprint of the mini.
