¨We’ve had to rethink basically everything, and what’s weird is, it kind of works?¨

Having made chicken in sour cream with noodles on a campfire stove once, you have my sympathies, but also, you can make it work.

¨(and downstairs toilet; do not forget the toilet)¨

I haven´t; I´m still back there at, ´Why not an addition?' which I am guessing would be due to permitting and money.

¨food safety implications of feeding a young toddler what I only later realized may have been raw egg¨

Yeah... is it fresh aioli or out of a jar or whatever. Pretty sure it´s not going to be fresh aioli because that stuff goes off quick.

¨I have Week 2 to figure out what setting on the Instant Pot gets you an al dente result.¨

That´s why I never got one, I remember: there´s no straight boil function. This might not work, but you could put a bunch of water and salt in it and try the Saute High function and see if it´ll boil it without pressure. If it does it´s the equivalent of a pot on the stove. The alternative is the steam function (same drill). Then you don´t have to mess with guessing the pressure: boil water, shove pasta into boiling water and wait 8 minutes.

trying to pressure cook pasta sounds like a recipe for a gloppy mess
