My wife got me one of those new pressure cookers.
Making corn beef cabbage taters and carrots used to take 12 hours in a slow cooker. With the pressure cooker, now takes about an hour.
(Two hours if she wants a second batch😁)
Oh, and she got me one of those air fryers, for $26 at a thrift store. It goes for $100 new, and it didn’t look like it was used at all.

The best part of slow cooking is how tender the meats (and other foods) turn out. A pressure cooker can reduce cooking time, but is the final result fast cooked meat that's as tough as shoe leather?

Also, with a slow cooker one can keep Chili or Beans or Soup or whatever serving hot for many hours. Smaller slow cookers are perfect for hot cheese dips (a popular idea for family gatherings).

Time is also a relative thing. Placing the ingredients into a slow cooker not only perfectly cooks/tenders/seasons food, but it can also provide your home with some great smells. I don't mind my home smelling really great as I slow a pot of Black-eyed Peas with Salted Pork and chucked Onion/s. I like the perk it adds to the total experience.

Actually, the pressure cooker makes the meat just as tender as the slow cooker did.
Slow cookers still have their place.

Snow in SE Virginia where I grew up was a maybe 1 to 2 times a winter event. Accumulations in amounts over 6' were rare. Still even if we just got a dusting, we could be sure that a large pot of beef vegetable soup would be cooking on the stove top. Our garden would supply canned or frozen vegetables to go with the fresh beef. You could find everything from corn, potatoes, and onions to green beans, okra, and cabbage and more. The smell would fill the house and sneaking samples from the pot was a must. As a formal meal, for me, saltine crackers with a bowl or 2 was enough. My Dad might fix a sandwich to accompany his soup or he'd call for sharp cheese to slice up. To this day I still enjoy soup, but none will ever surpass our Snow Day Soup.

When I was a kid I hated chili.
Then when I was old enough to go deer hunting with my dad and older brother, my dad told me “you better learn to like chill. That’s what we eat for the hunt.” Needless to say, I love chili now. It brings back good memories for me. I only got to hunt one season with my dad, as he died of a massive heart attack 2 months later . 😔

The #1 seed Packers will host the LA Rams today at Lambeau. Many of us will be eating as we watch the game. I have found that when I make Corn/Cornbread that GB wins. I will therefor bake that treat today for my game snack/meal.

Many o you will want to have something with cheese, like Pizza, Macaroni & Cheese, or some other tasty treat. Whatever your choice, enjoy our food and the game.

GO PACK GO !

beast (1h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...
dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea
dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?
dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Both LB Quay Walker and Rookie DB Micah Robinson have passed their physicals
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute
wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.
wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
