Fast beans, pulses, grains, soups, curries. You can cook your vegetables in moments - and pressure cooking has been shown to nerve best method nutritionally for preserving nutrients and also ridding of anti nutrients. Invaluable for a vegetarian! (Pressure cooking here, not slow cooking!)

Pressure Cooking with Catherine Phipps β Darina's Saturday Letter
A lot. Pretty much anything you currently use an oven or cooker for, you can substitute for the pressure cooker instead. Quicker. Tastier. We were amazed at what The Boss of Instant Pot @catherinephipps.bsky.social manages to make e.g. letters.cookingisfun.ie/2013/11/23/p...

Wasn't going to make a stock but a veg stock only takes 5 minutes in the pressure cooker per @catherinephipps.bsky.social 's instructions so it'd be criminal not to

Making a chicken stew in the pressure cooker using @catherinephipps.bsky.social recipe. Some stir fried brussels on the side with lemon and Parmesan. Wine. Never had duck livers but eat a lot of chicken ones, esp on risotto.

A big pink shallow bowl on a black kitchen counter. It's filled with a seafood boil; there's whole shrimp, chunks of corn, sausage bits, potatoes, etc.
This morning I was flipping through @catherinephipps.bsky.social's 'Modern Pressure Cooking' again with my morning coffee.
One thing lead to another and instead of the planned beef stew a seafood boil appeared on the table. π

When you have Covid and cannot focus on anything and then you switch on Netflix and the second season of My Life with the Walter Boys pops up. Dross but very watchable dross and just what I need.

I am reading O Caledonia for the first time and it is sweeping me along, despite being awestruck by writing and observation on every page. I got out of bed just to go downstairs and read my husband a paragraph about false teeth which had me heave with the horror of it.

Adam decided to make hot cross buns as he didnβt get enough last weekend. I was out for most of it. Bombarded by messages asking to buy sugar, yeast, raisins, allspice berries, all of which were exactly where they were supposed to be. But he got there in the end. Not all cross at my request!

I have just had the experience of my bone conduction headphones being bluejacked. A forced disconnect from my phone and a really creepy voice saying over and over again something like PS CREAM. Bit deaf so not sure. Factory reset seems to have workedβ¦.
