Our passes are FOTL after 4pm and if the ride is a must do and has a long line before that we do single rider or wait.
We'll do Airbnb or RP depending on whether we can get an AP room.
Hope you guys stay safe during the weather. We're due a weekish of rain starting Friday.
Our house gets 60+ inches a year due to all the water around us. Intracoastal, St Johns river, wetlands and the ocean all within a couple miles.
St John`s river is mahoosive!! The first time we drove to St Augustine I thought we had taken a wrong turn around Sanford area, it looked like the ocean it was so large!!
Hope that rain avoids you.
How long do they generally last for you? Here, water is so hard, many (me included) have stopped replacing them and embrace dishpan hands.
I was nervous the instapot would absolutely fail me. Nope. did have to use a rack to help pull them out and keep meat above the steaming liquid. I used vinegar and chicken broth 1:2 ratio.
then you put the two racks in on their sides, meat side out, in a circular fashion. Cook on high for half an hour, let sit for 10, then release. So far, so good. I opened it up and it looked like an octopus. Sort of expanded, for lack of a better term, while it cooked. Didn’t expect that.
managed to fish them out with the rack’s handles. Straightened out much better than I expected. Then broiled for 4 min, topped with my homemade sauce. Fall off the bone
next time think i may put rub on the day prior vs 4 hours. Not too shabby if I do say so. Dinner for days lol

We had our last dishwasher about 6 years, but more to do with things not being made to last now more than anything else. This one I forget, maybe 4 years?? The one we bought when I moved in with Tom before we got married lasted us for what seems like forever. It moved countries and made every move we made for about 15 years including being in storage several times for months on end when we didn`t live here. So, yes I think it`s more they`re not made to last anymore.
Some things we do still wash by hand, well Tom does the clear up as I cook and things like Le Creuset pans don`t go in, well I don`t put them in anyway and larger baking trays are all washed by hand. I must check if Tom has dish pan hands......lol.....we make a good double act in the kitchen!!
Those ribs look gorgeous!!! And I`m with you on the home made sauce, you know what`s in it and much healthier than store bought ones and much tastier too! You did well straightening them out though, I`d have envisaged then staying curled up.
It`s funny, your broiling is our grilling.....we don`t grill outside...we bbq.....lol.....I have been educated in the past that bbq is a food not a cooking method, I get it, but it`s just what we tend to say. If I`m using the grill in our electric oven I do remember to say I broiled something if I`m talking to an American.
I should revisit those instapots. I had one a few years back but gave it to one of my friends as I didn`t use it, she loves it too!!
You guys are making me hungry.
Woke up ready for a cuppa this morning, might have had too much salt yesterday with bacon and sausages! They were nice though. I did drink some extra water last night, but nothing wrong with waking to a cuppa. But, we are embracing this sleeping a little later, at least till the weather gets warmer, no need for us to be up in the middle of the night as Tom calls it......yep, I agree.
Absolutely nothing going on today for us. I do have some emails to reply to, but plan to sort out the study, Tom plans to shred stuff he has stored for a set period of time then gets rid of them, I`ll sort out closets and drawers of clothes, bake a little and pop the lamb and other ingredients in the slow cooker, but that`s for the weekend, it`ll be portioned into two double dishes and one will for the weekend.
Dinner tonight I`m making brie and cranberry stuffed chicken breast and wrapped in bacon, roasts off nicely, cauliflower, carrots and baby corn with that. The chicken breasts are huge I noticed so maybe one between two of us will be enough with everything else on the plate, mash will be in there too.
Toast with marmalade for me this morning Tom wants cereal.....not for me, don`t like them in general. Lunch will be spicy chicken open sandwich with some lovely tomatoes, not local this time of year but they are very nice.
And Tuesday again.....and a quiet one for us, it`s nice to have a moochy day now and again, just mooching around doing little jobs here and there with lots of stops for a cuppa and a cake! Going to be another not very nice day, so it`s the best place to be I think.
Happy Tuesday
finally making an appearance. It's been a hot minute since I've been here. 
Far too cold for this heat loving lizard!!!
or two
