The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

[bruceha2000]

So far DH is surviving his b-day just fine. Of course, tomorrow morning he'll be full of more "my aching body, it's so hard getting old" And I'll be my usual supportive self (and tell him to get over it )

As in "Oh shuddup already!"

I cooked some this week in the instantpot!

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Author: Lisa Johnson


Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup water
• ice

Instructions

1. Place trivet at the bottom of the inner Instant Pot pan.
2. Place eggs on top of trivet, stacking evenly if necessary.
3. Add one cup of water to the pan. Close the lid and set Instant Pot for 5 minutes on Manual at HIGH pressure.
4. Allow pot to release the pressure naturally for 5 minutes, then very carefully quick release any remaining steam.
5. Scoop eggs out of pot and place in an ice bath for 5 minutes.
6. Remove from the ice bath and peel or store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Recipe Notes

• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot®, and the trivet that comes with it.
• Place a dish towel over the vent when you release the pressure/steam or you may burn yourself! Gently push on the vent and release the pressure in short bursts.
• I cooked 12 eggs, but I “believe” that you can cook more using the same exact times above. I will give it a try and report back with the results.

Thank you Ron!

At least fish would be fine with not eating for a couple of weeks if the post is slow.

Our last cockatiel went to its new home today so our four can relax. (Our boys were getting a bit jealous with the young upstart showing off to their girls). Dottie (one of the girls) was rocking out to Avril Lavigne's Sk8ter Boi song. It was the funniest thing! She was flapping and throwing her head around - really dancing. She's such a madam - if she doesn't want to get off my shoulder she will grab the finger of whoever is trying to get her off and push them away.

Today we went for a trip in to town, then I came home and cleaned the coop and then harvested parsley, sage, chives and basil which are all now in the dehydrator. Then I planted some coriander, Italian parsley, thyme and oregano.

The herb and pepper garden:

Hi DMC! Are you trying out your new Instant Pot today?

I hope so. I have time to sit and read the instructions. I’m sure it won’t go smoothly

You might get lucky!

DH gave me one last year but he's used it way more than I have (I think I've used it once)
