What's for dinner tonight - 10/5?
We will be dining on the default meal, which is cheeseburgers, a favorite of mine, with french fries, cottage cheese and peas. Raspberry, or apricot thumb-print cookies for dessert. Most likely one of each. I have to see if they are still as good as when I made them Saturday, right??

Pressure Cooker Phobia?
I am using my mother's old Presto pressure cooker - love it. Plan on making bean soup in it soon with 2 leftover ham bones. Great for corn, stew, meatballs, bar-b-que, etc. Practically everything.
2lbs of Lean ground beef and sick of burgers...
You could make a big batch of meatballs for spaghetti, meatball subs or stuffed peppers. Freeze what you don't eat for later.

Cash, credit, check, or other: How do you pay for food?
Always cash for groceries, gas, you name it. Ithink the grocery store should have a cash only line. Maybe that way I would be the only one in it and not have to wait for people to rummage through their purses for charge cards or checkbook then have to wait for them to fill out their check.
My 2 cents, pennies that is.

Jacques Torres: 'M&M's and Snickers Bars Rule'
Would have to be the Snickers bar and peanut M&M's person, Mr. Mars. I have 2 large packs of the peanut M&M's at home now, it is all I can do not to open them! Also have a pack of fun-size Snickers from Halloween awaiting to be opened too.

Animal Crackers - How Do You Eat Them?
Love the Stauffers plain animal crackers. No special eating order or parts. I recently found them in the dollar store, quite a bargain. Hard to limit only eating a few, have to put them in a ziplock bag for lunch or snack and leave the rest of the bag at home.
Not a fan of the chocolate ones though, would prefer the Nabisco chocolate honey grams instead.

How do you make your egg salad, tuna salad, ham salad...
I add Hellman's light mayo, celery and a dollop of Durkee's dressing/sauce. Also add these same ingredients to chicken salad, and potato salad.

Your Lunch Today (Had it before?)
You can count on me having a salad for lunch, quick and easy to fix right before I walk out the door. If there is leftover chicken or vegies I can just dump them in. At times I am not even asked if I want to order something because they know I have brought my salad. About once a month by Friday I am ready to order somewhere/anywhere. Today it was McDonald's cheeseburger and small fries.

I could eat ______ every day and not get sick of it.
Lol so many people say sushi! I do get tired of the rice.
I worked at a freebirds and ate there at least once a day every day and never got sick of it! Think about what's in those things: meat, unleavened bread, rice, beans, roots, berries, salts, acids, everything! If space aliens made human kibble, it'd be freebirds.
I could eat ______ every day and not get sick of it.
My husband would say a hot turkey sandwich or pizza. We worked at diner 20+ years ago and he had a hot turkey sandwich every day for breakfast around 9:30 after the morning rush. We also worked together at a pizzeria for a few years before that (I made the pies and he delivered--no pervey comments please) and to this day he will eat pizza as often as I will make it for him--he just varries his crust type and toppings every so often. But 9 out 10 he'll ask for NY style crust with pepperoni, mushrooms and onion.
Me--Crowley large curd cottage cheese with a homemade roll or triscuits and a pickle.
I could eat ______ every day and not get sick of it.
Sushi!
Perhaps they sprinkle just the tiniest bit of crack before they roll it? Would explain the addiction.
Also, cereal, french bread, and pho.
Pressure Cooker Phobia?
One of the first things my grandmother taught me to cook was a braised pot roast in a pressure cooker. I still use her recipe (and pressure cookers), 45 years later and was happy to be able to make it for her until she passed last year at 101.
I have four of varying sizes, from a four quart up to an antique giant for canning. I have never had any problems, not even a blown gasket.
Whole large artichokes take ten minutes.
Brown rice just needs to be heated to cooking pressure for a minute or two, then turn off the heat and let it come to room pressure and it's done!
I never soak legumes, and stews and soups are a spur-of-the-moment inspiration instead of a military campaign.
And they save energy costs!
My only caution is to avoid non-stick surfaces: they seem to separate and pit easily in pressure cookers.
Pressure Cooker Phobia?
Oh robincat...I can so relate. As a kid, my favorite story was told by our elderly neighbor of "the lady and the pressure cooker". We'd beg her to tell the story over and over. I never found out if it was true, but basically it was about a woman who opened her pressure cooker too soon while cooking a chicken and it exploded all over her kitchen. Much as I loved the story, it left me in total fear of pressure cookers. When I received one at my wedding 20 years ago, I promptly returned it, much to my husband's dissappointment. I wish you luck!

ChelseaGuy52 - QVC has a 4 quart Cooks Essentials electronic one that has everyone talking!!! I have an 8 qt stove top model that works well, but really want this 4 quart one...
Pressure Cooker Phobia?
Ever since my mom's pressure cooker literally exploded, spewing a geyser of boiling applesauce across the kitchen ceiling, I have had a pressure cooker phobia as well. I don't miss it, like a crockpot - everything tastes like stew. And I don't can.
Pressure Cooker Phobia?
I recently for a 6 qt electric PC at the local thrift store. It is an older model, but looks very well cared for, so I purchased it. I've only used it a few times, and I was very pleased with the food. I am anxious to get more recipes for PC cooking. My better half is a workout fanatic, so we watch our meal menus very carefully.

I love my Kuhn-Rikon pressure cooker-simply the best-made in Switzerland.

European and Indian kitchens always have a pressure cooker for quick work on less tender cuts, beans, etc. Dangerous? Less of an issue than using a barbecue!
I have a Fagor pressure cooker/canner-a must for non-acidic canning. Pickles or tomato sauces are fine using BWB but not meats or fish and most other things. It is stainless and can be used as a saute pot or a pressure cooker.
My favourite cooking method is braising the old fashioned/French way in Staub cookware.
