I've been remiss these past couple of weeks, but I had to get over here and see what you were talking about mid-summer... and you got the pot! <br /><br />It looks wonderful.<br /><br />It does not look romantic.<br /><br />I have to mull that a little.... ;)<br /><br />But it sure does look useful and those deviled eggs look amazing... and the eggs themselves look marvelous. They are not green, LOL! <br /><br />Now I'm wondering why the yolks sometimes green up.<br /><br />I have no idea. <br /><br />You'll have to tell us as you use this for other things. But I am impressed, Jan!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-11584150713191792942017-07-10T23:06:36.117-04:002017-07-10T23:06:36.117-04:00I remember that trip to Maine so clearly, and it w...I remember that trip to Maine so clearly, and it was 50 years ago this summer! We camped in Acadia National Park, climbed (scrambled) up Cadillac Mountain to watch the 4th of July fireworks, and saw The Sound of Music at a drive-in. And then there were the lobsters...There's nothing like a lobster picnic. Every time I read "One Morning in Maine" by Robert McCloskey, I think of that trip!<br /><br />I've been wanting to go back ever since, but we just keep moving farther away!<br /><br />And you'll have to look at the Instant Pot. I haven't tried steaming veggies in it yet, but I've heard it's great for that. :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-52961864682590671642017-07-10T20:14:24.695-04:002017-07-10T20:14:24.695-04:00I need to try that for lunch!

Do you remember where in Maine you were, Jan?<br /><br />More lobster to come on Wednesday!<br /><br />Back to INsta Pot. I was just commenting to my husband that we should get this. I read Carla Laureano's FB post that said 20,000 reviewers can't be wrong.

I cooked a chicken breast for lunch today - frozen to done and tender in 30 minutes. I paired it with a big salad for a THM E meal.<br /><br />The chicken breast wasn't browned, but it was delicious. :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-78802766712336587892017-07-10T15:57:30.068-04:002017-07-10T15:57:30.068-04:00Jan, you are taunting me with images of lobster on...Jan, you are taunting me with images of lobster on the beach and deviled eggs. At least I can manage the deviled eggs. Love those things, picnic or no picnic. Never would have imagined you could make hard boiled eggs in an instant pot, though. I guess I never got on the instant pot band wagon. I think the infomercial turned me off. Everything they cooked was the same weird tannish color. That said, the speed at which it cooked was definitely a plus.Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-47171256216259904952017-07-10T12:16:42.073-04:002017-07-10T12:16:42.073-04:00We got two really nice picnic baskets for wedding ...We got two really nice picnic baskets for wedding gifts.

They have fun, you and hubby get some quality time to chat, and everyone is happy. :)<br /><br />I used to keep a "picnic pack" set to go - a bag with paper plates, plastic silverware, and a roll of paper towels. All we had to add were sandwiches and drinks, and we were set to go on a last-minute picnic.

The kids had a ball, and hubby and I would practically have a dinner date since the kids ate so quickly and then took off to play. :)Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-18664563002566959242017-07-10T11:19:27.823-04:002017-07-10T11:19:27.823-04:00Such good memories!

I'd put the gear in the wagon, children in swim suits, and we'd head out for an afternoon at the pool. Yes, wonderful memories!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-63719037942207159072017-07-10T10:16:15.396-04:002017-07-10T10:16:15.396-04:00Designed by Canadians,eh?

So, I was an inner city kid and raised my daughter in the middle of the city so our picnic experiences involved trooping to the neighbourhood wading pool with a packed lunch. My daughter would get so excited you'd think we were heading out to the beach. I think that's what makes the memories for me. Such a simple pleasure -- we usually packed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches a piece of fruit and a couple of cookies and the park was only few blocks away -- but Ally acted like we were heading for a five star Hawaiian resort. We'd spend the day lounging on a blanket, reading books, dabbling in the water, making crafts the life guards set out. Sigh...those were some happy summer days.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
