PRESSURE COOKER RISOTTO « LORNA SASS AT LARGE I am lucky enough to be spending the summer in the Berkshires and demonstrated this recipe at a private fund-raiser for the new Hillsdale Public Library. It was a big hit. Can’t beat 4 minutes under pressure, then just a little stirring at the end to finish the risotto off. If you’d like to see some very informal video from this class, click Risotto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Smoked Mozzarella Serves 4 Arborio is the most commonly available of the imported, plump, short-grain rices traditionally used to make risotto. It’s best to add salt after you’ve stirred in the cheese, which will add some salt of its own. 4 minutes high pressure Heat the oil in a 4-quart or larger cooker. Stand back to avoid sputtering oil, and stir in the wine. Lock the lid in place. Set the cooker over medium high heat and stir vigorously. Turn off the heat. Tip: Risotto tastes best when it’s just made. Adapted from Pressure Perfect by Lorna Sass, copyright 2009. Like this:

feature | Rjurik Davidson « Overland literary journal Speculative fiction – an umbrella term for science fiction, fantasy, horror and other non-realist forms – has always been peculiarly suited to political radicalism since the form investigates a world that is ‘other’ to our own, a world which is in some way changed or altered. It is a thought experiment: by developing this sense of estrangement, science fiction asks us to think back upon our own society.1 Crudely put, the departure from our empirical reality attracts those who would change that reality. Leftists have always found the utopian mode of science fiction particularly useful for investigating and advocating other modes of social relations, while the strongest trend within feminist fiction is surely found within the genre.2 The radicalism associated with science fiction extends to criticism – within the academy, Frederic Jameson is probably the most famous enthusiast.3 Two writers at the forefront of radical speculative fiction are Kim Stanley Robinson and China Miéville.
The Beginner's Guide to the Paleo Diet So you wanna learn about the Paleo Diet, eh? Here’s the ENTIRE diet in a nutshell: If a caveman didn’t eat it, neither should you. Now, obviously there’s more to it than that, and that’s what I’m going to cover in great detail with this article today. When you are following the Paleo Diet, you can eat anything we could hunt or gather way back in the day – things like meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, regional veggies, and seeds. Sorry, the pasta, cereal, and candy will have to go! And instead of counting calories and perfectly partitioned portions (say THAT three times fast), you’ll be focusing on eating the right foods instead. And that makes me happy, because I hate counting calories. I don’t like keeping track of how much I’ve eaten or obsessing over how many grams of a particular nutrient I’ve had. Now, this article is SUPER long, so we took the liberty of converting it into a nicely designed guide for easy consumption (not literal consumption, unless you print it on bacon). Ready? Nope.
Tassajara Warm Red Cabbage Salad Recipe The other day one of my neighbors asked me how often I cook. I think he was curious to know if I cook everyday. But, now that I think of it, I'm not actually sure what he was asking me - maybe there was a subtext to the question? I'm not sure. Anyhow, I told him I cook most days, and most of the meals most days. While this might have kicked off visions of elaborate brunch buffets, or of me standing over simmering pots of risotto stirring for hours on end, actually, it usually means I'm doing something simple like reheating a leftover pot of soup for lunch. But(!) I used the recipe as a jumping off point, tweaking it to my preferences. Some things I thought about along the way - I used golden raisins, but I imagine any number of dried fruits would work nicely. So, when I think about how often I cook, I naturally think about why I rarely get tired of cooking. And I have to say, it's rhythm that works for me. Roast the sunflower seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Fruits Allowed On A Candida Diet The Candida Diet, also known as the yeast infection diet, is designed to eliminate the foods that yeast thrives on, which are primarily foods rich in sugar. The idea is to starve the candida to death by not providing them with their needed food supply. Yeast infection supplements will have increased efficacy and more quickly restore your digestive system as you reduce sugars in your diet. Over time, your immune system will return to how it was originally designed to function. Many people enjoy eating various fruits, but in order to heal while on the Candida Diet, you should temporarily avoid all but a few types. Strawberries are a great choice for this diet, as they are sweet yet relatively low in sugar. According to the Holistic Health website, melons contain only moderate levels of sugar, but may contain small amounts of mold, so choose carefully and avoid overripe fruit. The Holistic Help website also lists pears as a good choice for the Candida Diet.
Ginger, chocolate and almond cake topped with chocolate ganache This cake , like so many others of mine, developed gradually as I was baking it. It all started off with an intense desire to bake something; I get those urges very frequently. It heps me get rid of sudden boredom by giving me a sense of accomplishment; when I’m upset, it uplifts my mood, and when I’m happy, it makes me happier; and it also helps me to de-stress. As I was saying, I was in the mood to bake and the basic ingredients were summoned. Coming back to the cake, I wanted to add somethuing to it to add an extra kick, so the ground ginger was summoned and so was the cocoa powder, after all chocolate makes everything better, doesn’t it? The best part about decorating with ganache is that, when it is runny (immediately after making it), you can pour it over the cake to form a glaze; when it slightly thickens (on cooling), you can spread it, and little more thick ( on cooling further) and you can pipe designs with it. What’s needed- For the ganache- How to-
Allowable Grains On Candida Diet When candida overgrows in your body, this yeast can cause muscle and joint pain, fatigue, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal problems, depression and repeated vaginal infections in women. To get rid of this excessive yeast, the candida diet eliminates most carbohydrates, such as sugar, starchy vegetables, grains and fruits, as well as dietary sources of yeast, such as fermented cheeses, fermented vegetables and alcohol. Despite being healthier than refined grains, whole grains are not suitable for the candida diet. Carbohydrates consist primarily of starches and sugars. Both starches and sugars break down into sugar that can become food for the yeast in your digestive tract. If your diet is rich in carbohydrates, you can worsen and prolong your candida infection. Most whole grain breads contain wheat or other gluten-containing grains, which are not acceptable for the candida diet. Making your own whole grain bread is the easiest way to avoid unacceptable ingredients on the candida diet.

What I thought of as sexy when I was young has little to do with what I find sexy today. At some point sexy becomes less about danger and more about comfort.Little things, like these cool nights that have allowed us to put the feather duvet back on the bed and snuggle up with just our noses and toes sticking out. That's sexy. As I was looking for a dish for this week's cooking club theme, I started in the desserts section and it wasn't too long before I came across my favourite - rice pudding.
