As you know, I have been on a canning kick as of late. I did not, however, own a pressure cooker until Christmas. I know, I know, I am only just now pulling the poor thing out to use it. What led to my need for the cooker was trying to make black bean soup in my crockpot. It did not work at all! The beans never got soft! I was determined to try again because this is one of my favorite soups at the deli. As with a canner you have to babysit it until the weight begins to rock evenly. What to do while I'm waiting? Watch my newest obsession. We decided about 3 weeks ago to turn off our direct tv and go all live streaming. It was a bit of a scary leap but I was ready to be unchained from the beast. It was a hideous amount of money every month and I want the tv on less in our home. Sometimes you run into the problem where you want to watch the current season of a show and the carrier that provides that service doesn't own the rights to the show yet. No worries, that's what my mini is for. I have had to give up some of my favorite shows, but I find that I really haven't minded and I have much more time for projects and reading. One of my projects was using my new toy and I was able to watch my show, downton abby, while I babysat my most delish pot of black bean soup. Cooking with pressure is amazing! :0)
