New Gadget in the Kitchen

I gave daughter Sarah, in Buffalo, one of these Instant Pots for her birthday.  When I was there in February being the chief cook I had a chance to use it for slow cooking instead of a crock pot.  




It works great and I decided to get one for my kitchen.  It's my anniversary present Dan says! That happens at the end of March # 48.


A recipe book came with it but I went to Books A Million on Sunday to get the book Sarah had checked out from the library that I used.  I'm going through it now to mark recipes to try. I did do green beans in the pressure cooker setting. Yummy.  Will try a chicken recipe tomorrow.



Life has been a bit crazy of late - 3 hour drive to Albany to bring home NH family members who had been in a car accident on Sunday afternoon after picking up a new puppy. One broken collar bone, some sore muscles and scraps, and a totaled car.  All will heal. Puppy back at breeder after accident but will join the family on Thursday when we go to meet breeder halfway from here. Puppy's a mix of King Charles Spaniel and standard poodle. A tiny bit of a thing.
