Also meaning no curling, no waves, & so on. You can have flat bacon each & every time you serve it. It’s only easy, once you know how. No, not use a heavy bacon press, though they are good. Also you aren’t going to run a bamboo stake or other through it. That helps, but makes it wavy (Davy). I’m talking about actual flat bacon … Continue reading No Warped Bacon
Boy, it’s as thick as fog in here! Pea soup, I love pea soup. I like it rather simple too. This is about as complicated as pea soup should be, that is, using the onions outer skin & the skin peelings from the carrots. After trimming the ham off the bone, you have a great bone. Shanks have the best bones for cooking. Now, you … Continue reading Pressure Cooker Pea Soup

So don’t base your … Continue reading Baked Beef & Broccoli
No pot was harmed in making these pies. Pizza. I love it, nearly everyone loves it. The taste combination, the socializing that comes with it, the memories; all of that ties in. We’ve Americanized it, as we tend to do a few items. Accepting a taste & texture to be the “set way” for example. Here, for Halloween, we’re going to make pizza pot pies! … Continue reading Holiday Pizza Pot pies & Baskets
So I have been playing with a more recent pressure cooker. It’s nothing like the ones that I used to use, in that, you have buttons to push amongst other things. First, I wanted the meat seared, of course. Using the browning feature on the pressure cooker, worked out alright for the first sear, but took too long to re temp (& started burning the … Continue reading Pot Roast Beast
My salsa (dip, not the music or dance) is pretty popular when I make it. Mostly it’s the dedication I put in to it’s preparation (shrug). You can go two routes with this. By hand, this will takes hours to prep. So, in the pictures, I cut to the chase on the jalapenos & tomatoes. This is also to show you the contrast look of … Continue reading Salsa Fresh Salsa
