The Bandwagon -- not my favorite

So, I did it. Though I do not enjoy doing something when that something is popular, I did do it.

I did it intentionally, though, and thought about it for a long time. I really did not need one when I first became aware of them. Then my crockpot’s crock cracked – the second one in two years. Replacing my crockpot with an Instant Pot was an easy decision.

Yes, I do have a pressure cooker already – which means I could use both the Instant Pot and the pressure cooker, if I needed to do so. I do like the many ways the IP can be used, especially the saute and then cook in the same pot option. Stainless steel is also a winner. The convenience of setting it up and walking away is another great selling point.

So far I have made “boiled eggs” (pressure cooked) and tilapia (from frozen filets). Both turned out great. Someone had commented to me that after cooking eggs in the IP that I would never boil another egg – so, so true. No need to watch over the boiling pot!

My goal for at least the coming week is to make every supper meal in the IP – like an IP boot camp. I do not eat grains and rice as a rule, so we are mainly talking about cooking meats and or slow cooking things. Should be fun.

Belated May 2019 update

JUNE 5, 2019 ~ AMY ~ EDIT

. . .uhm it was jammed packed with delicious goodness.

(what I really mean is that I was over-committed — with very good things.)

speaking up, “i cannot keep up this pace. i thought i could, but i cannot. i am sorry. whatever needs to happen now for your good, i will understand.”

so, less hours as a compromise. feels much better so far. still praying about it, though, as school will start again. . .

speaking of school, we ended well. our last lone student finished all curriculum early and went on to “enrichment” activities, like studying for the SAT (;)) and picking back up in the sign language course, as well as spending more time driving and studying about driving.

because i do NOT like using the busy word, i will just say that i keep whittling, prioritizing and saying yes to new things — LOL.
