Ginger Chicken & Rice, Instant Pot; village church

We had one last dinner from the Instant Pot before it went on summer hiatus.

Okay, I don’t actually quit using it over the summer. I make a lot of beans (adzuki, pinto, cannellini, etc.) for salads and sides and I use it to make soup for the freezer with the vegetables from the potager. I just don’t use it to make dinner.

I, also, go on summer hiatus. Mon mari handles the outdoor cooking, smoking, and grilling.

Division of labor and all that….

This was a worthy final dish.

He added hot sauce. I was happy as is.

Things look different when one is riding a bike.

I have probably been through this village a few dozen times but never really noticed it before.

It really isn’t much more than an eye-blink:

This is it – 1 street that goes to that house and turns right & left to short dead-ends.

But it’s a lovely little spot…. Just look at the church (Don’t mind the car – there was someone doing work on the roof.)

Sadly, a lot of the churches are locked now, but it’s easy to get the key for a private tour.

Next time….
