Have I said yet how much I am enjoying my Instant Pot???? Every day as mealtime approaches, I look forward to seeing what I can cook next in my new kitchen device. It’s not that I dread cooking; rather, it is that I am still working on menu planning, and that means that if I don’t plan far enough in advance, I often end up with frozen meat and no plan of action at 5 p.m.
Ever since I went over to a friend’s house a few months ago and watched her make rice in her pressure cooker in 10 minutes, I have been fascinated with pressure cookers. I told my hubby I wanted one, and I think he thought I might be just on one of my kicks. When we looked at the one my friend Vicki recommended, however, it was so expensive, and that put us off for a while.
It’s seldom that I get a good belly laugh from my husband. It takes a lot to get more than a chuckle out of him. This evening, I got not only a belly laugh, but a throw-your-head-back belly laugh from him.
My five year old daughter came to me as I was sending out some documentation by email. She was in the middle of dinner while I worked in the living room. “May I have some water on the rocks, please?” she asked.
…Yes, I can now happily sing Christmas songs and carols, now that Thanksgiving and my birthday are over. 😉
So this is total, shameless self-promoting post, because I KNOW there are many people out there who want to send Christmas cards, but do not have the time to address envelopes and attach stamps, and then get them to the post office. In addition, I heard a couple weeks ago that the US Postal Service expects a 10% increase in packages and other mail over the holiday season. That sounds like longer lines at the post offices. I don’t know about you, but I REALLLLLLLY don’t like waiting in long lines. I do, however, love sending out cards and gifts. Lucky for me I can do the latter, without contending with the former.
