This is How to Become an Instant Pot Whisperer
The thing that struck me most as I started to use my Instant Pot regularly, as I began to haunt the various Instant Pot groups, and read the comments peppering Instagram (#instantpot), is the following. There are countless people out there who have purchased this of-the-moment appliance who never use it.
Iced Eggnog Latte
Leave it to me to like eggnog as soon as you add some sort of caffeine to it. In this case, I added two shots of espresso and this iced eggnog latte is now a seasonal drink that I could get behind. I haven’t ever tried Starbucks’ eggnog latte so I honestly have nothing to compare it to.

It’s like you’ve landed in the English countryside. There is a nice deck for summer seating facing the English garden.
Everything about the place screams tea. It is nice to be able to purchase and take home the tea you have with dinner.
For tea we picked a tasty South African Rooibos that came in individual pots.
They offer a number of salad and sandwich plates that come with an endless pot of your favorite tea. My wife chose this Duo of Salad.
I picked the special, a Steak and Ale Pie. Large pieces of steak in a rich beef and ale gravy, wrapped in a light savory puff pastry. This traditional pub fare was a real treat.
For dessert we had a wonderful English Cream Lime Custard with Crystalized Honey and Lavender. The custard was perfect and the taste of lime was not over powering.
Staunton has some great restaurants but for a change of pace don’t overlook Anne Hathaway Cottage Tea Room. The service is excellent, the food and tea are great, and it is a fun experience.

Eggnog Tres Leches Cake
I really hate to use the word ‘moist’ to describe anything but what other adjective can I use for an eggnog tres leches cake? It’s not juicy because that’d be disgusting. Or soggy because that just ruins it. It’s certainly light and airy and full of flavor and it has the most incredible texture and honestly?
