I have the chops for baking, the energy and drive though, not so much. I've had untreated sleep apnea for so long it's catching up with me. I finally try to treat it and my appointments were moved back several months. Maybe it was a good thing since COVID might have been lurking even as early as February. I'm not going till this crazy shit is corralled.

Don't blame you. Esp. now that the more contagious variant is on the loose. Up here we got it under control again, with the restrictions from the health dept. and college/schools letting out. NMU's last week was the week of Thanksgiving. New cases have declined drastically since then. Not sure if January will cause another spike, or what. I want to take my classes in person next semester, but Mr. Owl doesn't think it's a good idea.

Anyone one here use a juicer?

We purchased one recently and have been using the hell out of it. A centrifugal unit. We laugh because we’re thinking we’ll have orange skin soon. Juicing lots of carrots and sweet potatoes.

The wife’s favorite seems to be carrots or sweet potatoes, apples and a thumb sized piece of ginger.

I don’t drink the juice I make for myself directly. I use it as a base for my fruit smoothies. I’ll juice the carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, beets, cukes and celery. The celery is a bit strong, so I go easy on those. Then toss that in with frozen fruits in a blender for smoothies.

The centrifugal unit doesn’t do leafy veggies very well, so I toss those in the blender when I make smoothies.

Any favorites out there?

Who makes BBQ here? Can't wait to refurb my offset this year. again. lol

Sorry, other than the hand-operated orange-squasher my mom made fresh OJ with, I've never used one. Gave this to two of my daughters for Yule, one with new baby and one expecting soon. What a cool idea -- blend up your foods, then heat/cook it, all in one gizmo.

Definitely! I got an Instant Pot a couple years ago but hadn't used it that much till lately. Last week I threw a top round roast (usually an avoidable cut of meat) in there and it turned out great. Last night I made a pork shoulder roast with carrots and potatoes -- also great! The leftover roast because beef tips over rice. The leftover pork will be pork fried rice (tonight) and BBQ pulled pork sandwiches later this week. I really like how well it tenderizes even cheap cuts of meat.

What have you InstantPotted?

I do yogurt all the time. I love how I can do a batch of beans from scratch in no time. I do boneless, skinless chicken breasts for shredding at least a couple or more times a month. There’s a double pot recipe for a super food oat breakfast. Hard boiled eggs in minutes.

You must leave it out on your counter all the time then. :~)

Gave my girls each one last year, along with that blender/cooking thingie. The middle one has made a whole chicken in hers, said it turned out awesome. That's my next adventure with it. Assuming the beast will fit, that is. And here comes St. Patrick's Day... perfect time to do the corned beef in it.

A turkey-sized Instant Pot? Hmmm!

I bought an Easter Kulich from the monks at the Orthodox monastery.

The instapot is good for any slow cook dish. I made chicken paprikash, pulled pork, brisket, etc.

Decided To bring Jade out of retirement for a few things. Will be trying out a few recipes in the near future. From the looks of the forum, I don't see myself doing much more. I gave up hassling with politics and have felt better.

Yes, my not-so-secret Ginger TEA/TONIC!

I usually buy a big chunk of Ginger, peel it, chunk it up, and blend into a mush, and then JUICE IT through my juicer into a liguid 100% GINGER JUICE.

I'll leave it concentrated and kept in the Fridge for about up to a week.

But all week, I'll use a couple of Oz. of concentrate- add bottled water, good splash of lime, and a few teaspoons of honey and microwave into a tea.

I like mine "SPICY Hot" but if you like less spicy heat- use less ginger.

IT IS GOOD FOR WHATEVER AILS YOU!

CHEERS!

I'm looking forward to using it a lot this summer. Welcome back, btw!

You didn't miss much. Every bit of ____ is all Biden's fault, but the vaccine credit goes to the ex-Covidiot-in-Chief. The #Jan6Seditionists are still muttering about civil war but have toned it down. Another psycho joined the angry, hangry spider's web but didn't last long. Just another chapter in the continuing saga of JPP Place. lol
