IP Cooking: Teriyaki Chicken

This is the first recipe I tried from my new IP Recipe Book.

It called for chicken stock. My mom had homemade chicken stock at home.

It called for chicken skinless/boneless breast. I had bone in chicken but my mom cut out the bone.

I added pineapples for more colour and flavour.

Overall it was tasty. But I would make the following changes:

- add more teriyaki sauce, maybe 50% more

- instead of 1/2 cup of chicken stock, used water 

IP Cooking: Pasta

Yesterday (Jan 26, 2019) was my first time making pasta in my InstaPot. I made shells with alfredo sauce.

Ingredients:
1 bag of 500 grams of shell pasta
1 can of 410 mL alfredo sauce
4.5 cups of water (or a bit more to cover the top of the pasta)
pinch of salt and pepper
1 tbsp of butter
Parmesan cheese

1. pour all items in the instant pot
2. stir
3. set to Manual/Pressure cooker for 4 mins, NR for 9 mins then release
4. pour some parmesan cheese on and stir

It came out too soggy / mushy.

What I can do next time:
- use less water
- NR for less time
- use more alfredo sauce

My phone is set up with my other email. So I created a blog with the other email and it's easier for me to blog from my phone anywhere anytime.

Friends

Friends are there for you thru thick and thin.

Friends can tell in your face when you arent happy.

There must be something special in the friendship if you know them for 2/3 of your life (and still counting).

Friends know when your birthday is coming up and reserves the weekend before just in case you are holding a party.

Friends know when u are down and lend a hand.. Even when u dont think u need it.

Mediocre

I feel i am living a very mediocre life. My job isnt want i want to do. I want to do something better. I did not finish a degree. I started it but i havent finished it. I am not good at playing sports. Nothing i do is spectacular. I want to make an impression in this world. But i dont know where to start or what to do.

Common denominator

I am the common denominator. I want to try to understand why i am a bad gf. Im actually pretty mean. But i dont want to be anymore. I want to stand up for my opinions and beliefs.

Jury Duty

My dad just got summoned to be a jury. My sister was summoned years ago. I have never been summoned. Should I feel special? Did they forget about me? Maybe I didn't meet their qualifications? I'm feeling a bit left out. I would like to be in one of those court rooms to see what it's like. It might be like just in the movies.
