    Drink

    I live in a US state where you can only buy liquor at state run liquor stores, and was very pleased that they had apricot liquor in stock.

    So tonight I made myself a leapfrog from the PDT cocktail book.

    amt. ingredient
    2 oz. Gin
    .75 oz Lemon Juice
    .5 oz Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot
    .25 oz Simple Syrup
    2 dashes House Orange Bitters
    A few Mint Leaves

    It's a great drink. Pretty sweet, but well balanced. I would forgo the simple next time.

    Food

    Dinner was less exciting, but will still be great.

    I'm a big fan of Serious Eats' pressure cooker mushroom risotto recipe. I find its the only thing that is actually faster in the Instant Pot I got years ago at the height of the craze. It basically just exists to make this.

    While that was going I made rice in the rice cooker, cooked a couple eggs with some kimchi from Costco. The risotto will be for lunch and I'll figure out dinner tomorrow!

        Oh yeah, it's totally not worth it for this single meal. I like the ability to make risotto with ease, but that's all I think this pressure cooker is good for nowadays. I got some good use out of this when I first got it because I lived in an apartment without a usable stove (I knew this going into it and wasn't there for long).

    Squash pie. You can make a pie out of squash exactly how you make a pie out of pumpkin but I think it tastes better and needs less sugar because raw squash tastes better than raw pumpkin. We got a lot of squash from a nearby farm and got some lard to make crusts from and they are great. See here
