thanks for your suggestion on the beans....
about 3-4 months ago when i was on a Potassium kick, i was given 25# of
various beans, mostly navy but real old kidney beans that wouldnt cook up,
pinto, etc....i like beans on hand for salads, and other dishes, and just
plain eating with margarine, and salt and pepper...
the 20 mins wasnt long enough and i may have to back off on 1 cup of beans
to 3 cups of water.....
neverless it was a good suggestion
thanks

this may not be as ridiculous as it sounds...there are so many
absolute idiots out there...my ex-father-in-law lost the little
dittler thing off his pressure cooker (you know the little weight that
rocks back and forth to control the pressure release from the top of
the pot as it cooks)...well, he decided to put a nut and bolt into
that hole on the top of the pot! Sealed er up real good! Then put a
pot of collard greens on to cook!

You know the rest of the story! The lid blew off and scattered greens
all over the kitchen. Thank God nobody was injured.

The "second generation" PCs are safer than sauteing onions without a
fire extinguisher on hand, and safer than ANY deep fat frying. I would
claim they are safer than crossing a street.
