My gardener said he wanted Spanish rice, lentils and a Mediterranean type
salad.

The rice is brown. The salad is Romaine with baby bell peppers,
tomatoes,Kalamatta olives, feta cheese and pecans. His has craisins. I have
no cucumber or that would be in there too. My blood sugar doesn't like
lentils so I'm having kidney beans instead.

As usual you are eating crap again. I'm sure you could exist on a bean diet
for every meal.

I seem to recall you have a good recipe for Spanish Rice that you have
posted from time to time?

Today is when I would have gone shopping but instead am at home. Don's
heart cath yesterday means he's not to be left untended for 2 days.
The good news is his heart checked out as extremely healthy for his age
with none of the plaque (cholestrol) buildup to be expected by his age.

The surgeon discussed diet (and post surgery care of course). She said
to keep on going just like we are. Sodium reduced and heavy on the
veggies and fruits, reliance on seafood for at least 1/3 of all meals
that have meat (seafood is meat to me).

I've always had the impression you cook/eat healthy food. Pssst, I
consider fish/seafood to be meat, too.

Good news, but I didn't know he has had heart surgery??

Glad he's doing very good! And I could follow a diet of 1/3 of all meals
be seafood with no problem.

Yes but that is made as a meal. This stuff came in a box. Can't remember the
brand but I think it's the only brown rice kind available. Winco sells it.

Beans aren't crap. They're very good for us. And they can be very
nice.

We were in Macy's the other day and I found a pressure cooker that would work on an induction stove for 32 bucks. It was a nice looking pot that uses a spring pressure regulator. I'd rather have a gravity regulator but for $32, I can't complain. I made pot roast. It was okay. What do I do now? Beats me.

You can do frozen chicken wings or legs in 6 minutes after it comes to pressure.
Then you can take them out and finish them in the oven or toaster oven.

That would be a plan however the air fryer works great for chicken wings. I'll make some kalua pig in the pressure cooker. For the air fryer, I plan to wrap a stuffed Anaheim pepper in pie dough and air fry it. That should be tasty.

Ok, I was thinking you had an air fryer but could not remember for sure.

I can't say that I'm hooked on this appliance. It does make a nice chicken wing. If I was hooked on chicken wings, I might be. OTOH, the only appliance I'm hooked on is my range. Mostly, I'll keep these toys until I get tired of them and need the space.

The pressure cooker and the air-fryer are both NuWave branded toys.

Looks good but dunno next step. Pressure cookers seem all about how
'fast they cook once up to pressure' but my few forays into them the
total time was almost the same as stove top.

Somehow, they never seemed like a 'fun' device to me.

They were more fun when I was younger. Not so much now. I'm guessing because I'm not that much into meat these days.

Probably true! The main claim to fame they seem to have is making
dried beans faster but frankly, I'm ok with a crockpot for that and how
long it takes. I guess in the back of my mind, the low and slow lets
the spices meld better. or so I think.

If I canned a lot, I'd want one for that too but I don't do more than
the stray jelly/jam with fruits.

They *may* be useful with another dish I have going now, but I'm just
fine with it taking longer in a crockpot. I'm making reduced sodium
'salt boiled peanuts'. The true recipe uses a LOT of salt, like 1/4
CUP is the starting point. Mine uses 3TB of a lower sodium soy sauce,
then adds a medium strength chile powder blend at about 1TB. Not
totally low-sodium, but reasonable with portion control. 1/2cup still
in shell works out at about 150mg sodium (about 1/3cup nut meat). Mine
will take 18 hours on medium/low and get better and better for up to 48
hours total time. I have about 4 cups of raw going and the meats
freeze exceptionally well for later dishes if any are left Tuesday
(unlikely but happens).

A pressure cooker makes canning at home possible. For people back in the old days that needed to preserve foods, it was a godsend. These days, not so much.

Cooking a roast in a pressure cooker at an elevated temperature makes the meat look a little odd. It looks misshaped and "stressed out." I'll try a pork butt and make some kalua pork. That might turn out a little nicer.

I guess you never followed the story of the gardener. He lives in one
of the outbuildings. Need you bush trimmed?

Are you really going to rehash all that? Just when the vultures have

Just that Julie has a gardener. But some emotionally starved RFC women
got very jealous when they heard that. Now they want a gardener too.
Or better yet, they want Julie's gardener.

He lost his home in a fire. I offered him the spare room but it is really
small. He's storing some things in there but he preferred to live in what he
calls the tiny house. It's not entirely finished inside and there is no
running water so he comes in here for that. He actually comes and goes as he
pleases. We're friends. He has a GF. I love to cook so I said I would make
dinner every night. Sometimes he buys the food. Sometimes I do. I get a lot
of stuff at Costco. I don't pay him. We just sort of do things back and
forth for each other. He does more than just gardening. He's good with
handyman stuff.

That's not true. He was actually here while my ex husband was. I don't want
to rehash that.

I had toasted marble rye with butter and pink salt and some cottage cheese
with pineapple. Need to go finish making dinner now.

Gary both you and I know, these are all made up stories to have a go at
Julie.

It seems to be all that gives some people pleasure.

At least she talks about food and cooking.

Yeah, Julie is cool but *she* is the one that tells us the
stories like I said above. Julie is the one that said she's
dating the painter, not the live-in gardener. And she has told us
that the gardener has dogs and goats. She cooks for the dogs too
but I think the goats are living elsewhere.

I like her but will give her a tease now and then when she says
one thing then later denies it. She does do that.

Anyway, on a June 27th note:
Today is my birthday and my daughter is coming in an hour or so
with grandchildren. Nice thing to happen on this day. She wants
to cook me something. Best guess is one of two things...apple pie
or stuffed green peppers. Both are winners. I'll let you know
tomorrow which one.
