Last night I brought out my pressure cooker. I do like that thing. It's an electric one, not the type that you use on the stove top. Its a lot like the crock pot, only instead of hours of cooking, often the cooking time is measured in minutes. Using the pressure cooker is the only way I know of that you can decide at the last minute that you want a rack of ribs. You can get tender fall off the bone ribs in less than an hour with this machine. I haven't done a lot with this thing since getting it a year ago though. I do always use it for mac and cheese. I love this recipe. It puts all of the pre-made stuff to shame. You can switch the pasta to whole wheat, use low fat cream cheese, and low fat cheese to make a decent meal. Its awesome. I need to start experimenting with more recipes.




In 7 minutes, everything was cooked, and ready to be served. 7 minutes!!!


I took last nights pork, chopped it a bit, and added bbq sauce for sandwiches.

BBQ'd pork sandwiches and Mac n Cheese!

Part of my reasons for talking about this, aside from the fact that I love cooking, is I need to drastically improve my photos. I don't have a lot of time though to take pictures of the food while I am cooking. Often I have a 4 year old and a 31 year old hollerin at me "is it ready?" "is it done yet?" "can we eat yet?" So I have to be quick with the pictures. Still its not really a good excuse for bad photos. So I am working on it.
