lillilah | Soup and Songs

Tonight, I'm using the new Instant Pot for the first time. I have one in the US that I use when I'm there, but this one is here, new, and slightly different. So, of course, I'm terrified of it. It hasn't exploded so far, though. While it seems like it is excessively large (with an 8 quart capacity, I think), you are only supposed to fill it up to like 5-6 quarts, and the instruction manual is leery of dried peas, so I'm really supposed to only fill it to 4 quarts. Since I usually make 4 quarts (actually liters) of soup, I'm now extra glad that I got the giant one. (Note: it finished cooking and still hasn't exploded.) I'm going to try canning some chicken in it tomorrow. You can't can meat in it and have it be shelf-stable, but I like to put meat in jars, cook them, and then put them in the freezer. It saves me from having to cook the meat later, and it is all in individual serving containers.

I'm still going for songs from the 1980s. Here's tomorrow's list.
