RUN

Head for the hills, I am using my new instant hot pot for the first time and it is not going well. I should know by this age not to go back to pressure cooking.  When my mother pulled out the pressure cooker we could not leave the house fast enough.  It jiggled and hissed us into submission just by resting quietly in the cupboard.  All Mother had to do was open that particular cupboard door and we were gone.  Now I have this monster in my own kitchen.  I finally moved the button to slow cooking, but I am not sure that is even working.  I should have waited for Pam and George to come the day before Thanksgiving to try this thing out.  Beth could probably figure it out but she is busier than a one-armed paper hanger.

Joe, Glenda,  Andy, and I had a lovely three day holiday together here at Many Branches.  It is so green one would think it was mid-spring and today it is raining again. The plants are in full bloom and still growing. Glenda, Joe and Andy were into football mode for ten or more hours on Saturday.  Joe and Andy attended the OSU game and watched a 100-year-old man dot the I in Script Ohio.  He was so happy to be doing the dotting that his daughter finally had to go get him and take him off the field.  I hope we are as healthy as he at 100 years old.

I hope your week is wonderful, and wish me luck with the roast that is doing God knows what in the instant pot.Note: The instant pot crock pot feature failed.  I had to finish the roast in the oven.  Obviously, I was not doing anything remotely right.  I will shelve it until help arrives.
