Donna and Peter at 4 Corners

 Met up with these old friends at the 4 corners for lunch.  

Lots to talk about. 

Elizabeth had a Ruben.  I had great lobster bisque and a great sandwich that included a mild chorizo.  I had them substitute a hamburger for the egg, but they did not cook it "well done".  It was tasty, especiall the bread which was crispy.

The online menu is out of date.

INSTAPOT SMALL BREAST OF TURKEY

 We bought these very small turkey breasts at Whole Foods where they don't buy brined turkey.  These were bagged in a mesh.

I cooked the 2.56 lb breast  for 16 minutes in the Instapot Pressure Cooking setting, then let them sit for 10 minutes to naturally reduced steam

Following these directions:

Cook for 6 minutes on high pressure per pound of turkey with natural release for 10 minutes, then quickly release the rest of the steam.

THIS WAS NO WHERE NEAR ENOUGH.  It was red raw in the center.

So Put it in again for 17 minutes.

I let the steam go out on its own.

that worked.  It might have overcooked a bit.  Tough for me to judge.  In the end I noticed that the breast has a build it plastic popup to tell when it was done.
