Digest Number 618

[Guest guest]

Dear Vlad,

 

On the emotional side of things I really do recommend Emotional Freedom

Technique www.emofree.com

 

This is an immense website with lots of help. Gary Craig is very nice and

will try to help or put you in touch with a local EMF prcactictioner.

 

Moast of the work however in this technique is done by yourself. The web

page at first does not look very professional but please give it a chance.

 

I am 80% raw from may last year and 100% since October last year, I do not

think that I would have lasted this long without their help. Depression was

my main problem but I did not have suicidal tendancies. Browse through the

web site for relevant and non-relevant issues, you will be surprised how

some of the non-relevant issues can actually relate.

 

I purchased the course from him but you can download the basics from

http://www.emofree.com/tutorial.htm

 

I hope you have look and that it helps.

 

Take care

>Counter top pressure cooker???? Tell me more. What brand?

 

Twi,

 

Sure. I have a Farberware programmable pressure cooker. I'd had a stove top

version before I bought this one, but I didn't like the stove top one. It was

way too much work to use, plus I had these little, unfounded doubts about safety

(from all the horror stories I'd heard). But I really wanted a pressure cooker,

especially after reading Lorna Sass' cookbook Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure

(risoto in under 10 minutes with no stiring).

 

Several years ago, I was walking through Costco and there it was on the shelf.

It was definitely an impulse buy, since even though I'd been hemming and hawing

about getting a pressure cooker for a while, I hadn't been planning on buying

one that day. I can't tell you how happy I am that I got it!

 

I found the specs for my machine on Amazon.com, although it's out of stock. I

bought mine (4 qt model, although I mostly only cook for myself - it handles

cooking up a full 16 oz bag of dried beans with a little room to spare, to give

you an idea of volume) about 4 years ago I'd say, and I've luckily never had any

problems with it. I don't do lentils in it because they cook so quickly on the

stove, and I have read about a lot of people clogging up their pressure cookers

while cooking lentils (I add about 0.5-1 tsp of oil to the dried beans to keep

foaming down and keep any loose skins from clogging the valve). Here's the

Amazon link:

I live in an apartment where kitchen counter space is at a premium, and this

puppy almost never gets put away.
