2. Instant Pot finally set up. Celebrating by making butterscotch pudding

It was almost an all day ordeal to set up the Instant Pot -- about 15 steps. One must be very strong to remove the anti-block shield, sigh ("The anti-block shield must be cleaned frequently"). And the cord is less than 3 feet (33" ) long, GRRRR. On removing the anti-block shield, I find using a flat-bladed screwdriver makes it easy.

Unfortunately, I didn't find a recipe for making the Jello butterscotch pudding mix in the Instant Pot - I was hoping there was something that made it shorter and easier. No, it says stir constantly over medium heat. What one chooses as medium makes a lot of difference no doubt. That I did over my new Cusimax hot plate. It took a long long long time.

*OOPS, I meant to make this a reply to the OP, sorry.

3. No problem

I use my air fryer almost every day. Had thought about getting an instant pot but not sure I want the hassle of trying to set it up. Took me 5 minutes to set up air fryer.

7. fresh pot of decaf

Sliced cantalope (this melon was perfect!), cottage cheese, and thinly sliced ham.

Hey, Emile, I was sorry to hear you are still without rain. Yes, we did get a lot of it. I had to mop some up in my basement. We are supposed to get up to 3' more on Thursday.

9. Wow, send that rain my ways. Gets any drier here I

will have to put flea and tick powder on my catfish.

[NJCher]

11. would you like some mushrooms, too?

You would not believe the variety and number of mushrooms that have sprung up in this rain.

LOL about your flea powder for catfish.

I have been through a drought before, a time or two, actually. Not fun.

10. The damn Instant Pot with its ever present "OFF" is mocking me

You bought me and spent half a day to set me up, now what? Sigh.

I look at recipes online and the good looking ones involve an air fryer basket. Mine doesn't air fry. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
