We have a pressure fryer and love it for making the most tender meats out of cheap tough cuts..Wife also uses a very large pressure cooker for canning... When my brother was quite young my mother had a disaster in the kitchen with her's and I can remember them staying in a local hospital for a few days. We have no fear with the modern ones we use. For dinner sort of wish I had one of those tough chuck cuts but it is clean up leftovers night and the last of the beef & barley soup is going to be dinner along with a grilled cheese sandwich.
I have been marinating some sirloin pork steaks in a mixture of soy sauce and grated ginger and garlic.....will pan fry later and serve with rice and maybe some green beans. I will start with spinach miso soup (I have a good instant....not making my own tonight).
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

The Corningware you use on top of the stove - do you mean the brown, clear ones? I had a set. Stuff always burned to the bottom on me. Couldn't wait to get rid of it!
This Christmas, DH got me a set of Corningware Lite - great stuff - it weighs 1/2 as much as regular corning bakeware.
Tonight it's liver, bacon and onions.. part of my "have something different" campaign. Also potato and cheese pieroghis. Tomorrow, I will need to start dedicating myself to using up the leftover ham. I'll be making ham tetrazzini and bean soup in the next few days. Then, the leavin's will be ham and pickle salad.
My decorations are coming down and getting super-organized and culled, yet again (since I AM going to be moving this year, damn it), but probably not the tree until tomorrow and Sunday.
I threw our ham bone and a good chunk of ham in the freezer....I bought one of those mixes of 12 beans for soup.....I havent used it before ..... but with a good soup bone and ham chunks and 12 different legumes....how far wrong can I go......I envision some carrot, onion and perhaps a potato in there too.
Cyn and Kelsey, I’ve done the patch and chantix as you know and had the weird dreams, next time will be the lozenges. My neighbor has been using them and swears by them. She’s a diehard smoker but doesn’t smoke when she uses them and no dreams from what I’ve been told. Every time she wants a smoke she pops one of them and maybe sucks it down to half if it’s just a mild craving plus it controls the mouth thing as well.
Jaxson, there’s nothing that beats spit roasted duck with a huckleberry demi-glaze!
Tonight is with neighbors; I’m bringing one of my fresh frozen peach pies since the neighbor won our New Years Eve poker party. We had a few couple over and had food and a big poker game where I announced that the prize for the winner was I would make any desert the person wanted and deliver it. My neighbor loves peach pie and knows I have some in the stacked in the freezer so that was easy, in fact it’s baking now! Decided to get started on tomorrow, baked off a chicken to be pulled apart for Chinese Chicken salad with spicy peanut sauce. We got hooked on this salad at John Ascuagas Nugget casino in Sparks Nevada and copied it, YUM!!!
By the way, isn't Mojo (the sauce) pronounced Mo-Ho? I pretty sure I've heard about that stuff on foodtv a couple of times...
