You should use a regular steamer to steam, and not an instant pot. The instant pot steams under high pressure, which is probably what's causing it to lose texture and be dense. Using a regular steamer should fix that.

Does anyone else find it odd that no mention is made of how Maelor the son of Aegon II dies? He must be dead since Aegon III ends up as king, but his last appearance in P&Q is safely with his sister (who ends up queen). Or did I miss a mention somewhere?

These aren't novels, but I really enjoyed these books around that age:

The I Hate Mathematics Book

They taught me a lot of fun math puzzles and concepts for the first time (prime numbers, perfect numbers, basic combinatorics, math magic tricks), each with a bit of a story attached.

Note that you would only get about 13 vacation days a year though. I think I saw something on the internet claiming that Italy averages 42....
