I played with my Instant Pot a bit more today. It turns out that 15-minute risotto works out pretty well. [link] I added some thinly sliced carrots and red sweet pepper for extra veg and flavor. I also decided to make some gluten-free lemon bars to take to work tomorrow (not in an instant pot: [link] ). They're out of the oven and cooling now. And there was enough lemon juice left over for me to make a nice lemon drop cocktail. A bit early in the day for it, but hey, at least it's vitamin C.
ETA: Go msbelle!
So strangely, we discovered last year that all of the restaurants around us closed when the Super Bowl was on, which put a dent in our plans to eat something.
This year, we have prepared for that, but I'd like to go to Trader Joe's, and I don't know if grocery stores close too. I mean, I wouldn't think so, but I wouldn't have thought that restaurants would close.
Where were you living last year?
Here? Dallas.
Edit: But it's not a Texas thing, because it was never an issue in Houston.
I've got white chicken chili simmering in my 20+ year old crock pot. And yes, I am caught up on a certain tv show.
Sleet this morning and now rain and it's juuust above freezing. I'm not going anywhere tonight. I decided to watch the Super Bowl but my sister hasn't told me who we're rooting for yet... luckily I don't care. I'm here for the commercials.
My best friend and his wife got me one of those ceramic microwave egg cookers for Christmas and it's vastly upped my egg consumption. Not boiled, of course, but cracking a couple of eggs into it and cooking for about 1:40 gets me one of those round egg mcmuffin patties.
I used to just do that in a little glass bowl when I had a microwave. Super convenient!
My mother did the wings trick with the baking soda and they were fab! She didn't do the Full Kenji, even.
I just deep dove Janet Jackson videos for halftime and... um
Accidentally ended up at Zendaya and Tom Holland's lip synch battles because it's not my fault but I'm still ok with it.
Go sportsball.
Dana hope you figured it out, but TJ's doesn't close here, that's for sure--though it was a MADHOUSE beforehand, I'm betting it's empty now.
Naturally, after I insisted that the restaurants were closed, the Thai place that husband insisted on was open. Just to spite me. And then we went to TJs.
