Granny's gone and done it again

Just to show I'm not totally helpless ... Melissa had to help me a bit (she brought the Instant Pot in from the back porch where it lives and I can't get to), but right now I am babysitting a batch of potatoes and carrots cooking. I scrubbed the potatoes, peeled the carrots, and cut them all up. I'll also be making a dozen hard-cooked eggs for DH's breakfasts.

Have you ever tried just giving your carrots a good rinse and using your hands to rub the dirt off? I stopped peeling mine because they taste so much better w/ skin on.

Thank you and I also wanted to say I got my shot today. Hopefully it will give me some energy. Ill take what I can get! Robert has a gentle touch for those things.

Nice

I have .... but I guess I prefer the texture of them peeled.

I don’t have a surge protector either

Most power strips have built in surge protection today, it will say in the tiny print on the back, but an easy way to tell is if it has one of those switches. The switch acts like a breaker, and turns it off if there's a power surge rather than letting through to break whatever is plugged in.

Hooray! I hope it helps you feel better.

I never peel them, the peel actually has extra vitamins too! Same with potatoes, although I do sometimes peel them for mashed potatoes.

I did not peel the taters.

Welp. I am on my way to the clinic. That uti quit playing games and jumped up and said Here I am, gal, you are not going to ignore me a minute longer! Melissa was determined to get me there so I texted DH just to let him know what was going on and he texted back, ok, on my way! I love this man.
