Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Last weekend Amy from the group was here to visit, she brought her pressure cooker. I loved it so much that I found one yesterday. It's a Fagor brand 6 quart. When you get yours I will help you. Last night I made the best pinto beans I have ever eaten and the roof is still on the house. I was terrified of them but believe me there are safety locks, a steam escape valve so don't fear it. It was on sale for $59 and I had a 20% off coupon so it ended up being $47 dollars, they gave me an extra gasket for the lid and a nice cookbook, Donna --- Beth <bethwisdom wrote: > I have a general pressure cooker question.

My parent were recently in town visiting and they notice that I had lost weight (42 lbs) and that I looked so much healthier. I told them the basics of what I had been doing, but since my parents have long been big omnivores I didn't push anything and simply said that I was eating more grains, beans, and veggies. My dad (who's health is not well) actually started asking question like " how hard is it to center a meal around grains and veggies? " . They even called me one day and asked me to take them to one of my vegetarian restaurants - where they asked even more questions. I passed along my Dr. McDougall book to them before they left. Anyway, I guess my mom overheard me talking to my sister. I was asking her to keep a lookout at Goodwill for a pressure cooker. It was a nice surprise that he decided to buy me one. It absoluetly floored me that he said it was a Kuhn Rikon. I would have only lusted after those and never have spent the money myself. I'll let you know when I get it. I'm looking forward to being able to cook my beans quickly - as I'm one to suddenly remember that I must cook dinner when it's 5 pm.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wow, 42 pounds? Congrats! I need do to that myself! Was there more to it, or the not eating meat made you drop weight? ) Rachel ~ http://www.thelucastribe.com ~ KUSTOMIZED KIDS ~ http://www.cafepress.com/kustomizedkids Baby & Kids, Pregnancy, Natural Parenting, Wedding, & Personalized Clothing Designs Also lots of Halloween shirts this month!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Congrats on the weight loss and the new pressure cooker. You will have fun using it and also going through our recipe files. I hope your new treasure arrives soon. Smiles, Donna --- Beth <bethwisdom wrote: > Thanks Donna! > > I was totally taken by surprise by the gift.

Which is no meats, no fish, no dairy (cheese was a big one for me), no eggs, no (or severly limit) added oils, limit white flour products and limit high fat plant foods (nuts, avacados, and soy). I am not 100% on plan, but as long as I'm still losing weight (I have a good amount still to go) I won't be as strict. Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
