• The recipe also says you can keep it  "up to one day." so overnight should be ok.  Never made it so can't vouch for it.  From 'Modernist Cooking At Home' website.

Was your oil from the machine dirty?

I was a bit surprised, too, but it was definitely cloudy/dirty.  I've been keeping track of how many times I've used it (give or take a few) and I'm at about 100.  The instructions said to change it after 200 so I dunno.  But it's all nice and clean and ready to roll now

 

I'd be happy to come do yours  

[Okanagancook]

Holy crap.  I can't remember when I changed mine...probably at least a year!

IT WAS TIME!  SO A BIG THANKS TO @Shelby

I wish I could do the laugh and thanks button at the same time.

 

I appreciate all of you so much.

 

Ok, I'm off to bed.  

 

I wanted pizza for dinner...but...after today, I didn't have the energy to make dough.  Which is absolutely ridiculous because this salad and soup took way more effort.  BUT it used up some leftover tuna and steak.

 

Fresh tomato soup

 

Salad with leftover steak and some tuna made into tuna salad

 

 edited to add.....I made fresh Ranch dressing from seasoning from Penzey's, buttermilk and homemade mayo.  No dipping of pizza was involved.......

 

Good night ya'll and I'll see you tomorrow

 I don’t especially like tomato soup or perhaps it’s that it doesn’t especially like me but yours looks quite delicious.

The guys just stopped in for lunch (yeah, I really jinxed myself lol) .  I didn't take pictures because it was just leftovers from last night.  They brought my camera back with some pictures

 

Sunrise in Kansas is always something to see

 

 

 

 

Sunrise in Kansas is why God didn't put mountains here. He knew they'd spoil the view.

Good afternoon!  

 

Anyone ready for a nap?

 

Or wine?

 

Or both?

 

I realized I had yet to do my fall drawing on the chalkboard so I quickly scribbled out a pumpkin.  I don't think it would even make it as tacky motel room art. 😂

 

 

I've got venison chili for lunch in one Instant Pot keeping warm and I've got pork cubed up in the other for enchiladas tonight.

 

 

It's about 60 degrees and a beautiful day

Seriously your chalkboard pumpkin evokes so much of what I love about the special guys:  character, touchability, cheer. Now I'm craving fritos!

Got the watermelon infused using the info from @Okanagancook and also using @rotuts suggestion of using some brown sugar.  I did a bag of plain, too.

 

 

I just love the color of the melon.

 

SV'd turkey breasts are off of the smoker, too.  

 

[rotuts]

No, no, never too busy   .  142.5 F for 6 hours.   Then in the cold smoker at 170 F for about four hours.  Good stuff.

 

This used to be my only Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup.

 

 

I've come to the conclusion that today isn't going to be my day.  🙃

@Shelby I was visiting my Mom and was washing dishes with her right there in the kitchen cooking at the stove when I broke her 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup (dropped it in the sink). She told me that she had received it as a wedding gift in 1956.  To say I felt bad would be an understatement.

I ended up going on eBay and even Etsy and found a vintage Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup. It was the same make and model as the one she had had. I didn't tell her I bought it and just stuck it in her cupboard where she used to keep the original so it would be a surprise. 

Then my oldest idiot brother spilled the beans, so to speak, so there was no surprise.  

She was grateful, nonetheless.

 

I hope your day goes better! (Besides, you know the chili will only taste better once you freeze it and you get it out again to eat it).

Oh man.  You are a good daughter  .  

 

This all ties in together...I was removing the InstantPot that held the chili and the handle hit the Pyrex sending it crashing to the floor ( my floor is very unforgiving...you drop, it breaks lol)
