I thought I would show you all that I can actually cook….would never win any awards, but I won’t often send anyone to the hospital.
Today I used my new electric pressure cooker. First I made chicken soup, which took twenty minutes. Then I made a pinto bean dinner….and I have photos to prove it!
First I loaded the dehydrator with strawberries. It seemed to take forever to do it today, and I do not know how many weeks they will be available. I am living on them right now, and I will miss them when they are done.

My new pressure cooker:

I hope I get better at it. Right now things are on the bland side.
I made pinto beans.

I used a turkey ham instead of some fatback, which is pork. Ann said it was good, but would have even been better if I had used the pork. So, next time I will. I will make a separate batch with the pork. I am thinking I might like it without any meat for taste, and I will try it.
Ann likes to put onions and chow chow in her pintos.


Oh, I made a great pan (or pone) of cornbread all by myself. We make it in the cast iron skillet and then put the skillet in the oven. We both like it thin, so most of it is crunchy. I really like it in vegetable soup!

I really hope to have lots of blog days with the new babies, which I think should hatch Wednesday and Thursday. Keep your fingers crossed.
