Another little window into how we were. This is the second, 1949 edition of a book brought out in 1939; I suppose the war got in the way of updates. What is surprising is the number of things for the housewife to do that I would have expected the man to do (like I do today), such as changing tap washers or putting up shelves.
I like the enamel bowl!
This reminds me of a "march out", i.e. moving out of an army married quarter. Cookers were the bane of the married serviceman's life as they were usually expected to look pristine irrespective of their age. On our last march out on leaving the army, I stripped our gas cooker to its minutest components, it took at least half a day.
I can't imagine my life without my pressure cooker. It's been my loyal friend for 30 years. It came into my life at a time when my original pc seemed too small to carry the load. Although there were just 4 of us at the time, it seemed that the the old pc couldn't keep up. So it stood aside as we upgraded from 4quarts to 6.
Through the years this pressure cooker has been the behind the scenes star of many pot roast dinners. It has produced hundreds of soups--chicken, split pea, onion, mushroom, vegetable and so on.
Pressure cooker cooking may not be gourmet, but it has always been dependable and speedy. Saving my life many times when I got started late. It may not be as beautiful as some other pots in my pantry, but it the most useful.
It is also responsible for our many field trips looking for new gaskets and it has provided funny stories--like the time my grandmother removed the lid too soon and found dinner on the ceiling.
My pressure cooker is really part of the family heritage. I learned how to use it from my mother and now my granddaughters are learning to use it from their mother. Perhaps I should have gotten all the cookers together for a four generation group picture.
In closing, I just want to recognize the wonderful warm friendship I feel for my pressure cooker, who right this minute is cooking a beef stew for friends who just called to say they would be dropping by about dinner time and hoped I wouldn't be inconvenienced!
Sitting in the Orion cooker waiting to be cooked to awesomeness. I forgot to get some wood chips to smoke it with. Sad face.
Bone broth is a healthy addition to any omnivorous diet, one that has gained tremendous popularity in recent years. It’s rich in collagen and gelatin, heals the gut, and reduces inflammation. It first became popular when the Paleo diet went mainstream, and I was a bit confused by it at...

Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring made his first ever batch of “carnitas” today. Yes, he’s eaten aplenty, but he’s never made any at home.
Aggie Ring had me drive him to the store where he selected a nice 10-pound pork shoulder (also know as pork butt, or Boston butt). “Hmmm…” said Aggie Ring. “Pork Butt. Didn’t we use that term at Texas A&M?” At .40 cents/pound, they were almost giving it away. We chose the bone-in cut because you get the good flavor from the marrow in the bone.
When we arrived home, Aggie Ring cut most, but not all of the fat off. Again, that’s where you get the flavor. He seared the “butt” on all sides to help seal in the moisture while it was cooking. Then he put it into his pressure cooker along with some mojo criollo and some extra garlic and other spices typical in Mexican cooking.
Aggie Ring brought the pressure cooker up to pressure and let it go for three hours, letting the steam release naturally once he turned off the gas. When Aggie Ring opened up the cooker, he was amazed. The meat had totally fallen off of the bone! “Well, I’ll be damned.” said Aggie Ring.
When the meat had cooled, Aggie Ring “Pulled the Hell” out of it and spread it across a baking pan. He took the pan and put it on the top shelf of the oven under the broiler to caramelize the top layer of the pork. Aggie Ring rotated the pan once or twice and left it in until the meat started hissing and popping. “It’s done.” declared Aggie Ring.
Aggie Ring took a portion of the caramelized crispy (on one side) pork and poured some salsa verde on it. Then he garnished it with raw white onion and some chopped cilantro.
The movement Aggie Ring tasted his creation, he knew he’d be making this again. “The way the pork is caramelized on one size and crispy while soft and tender on the other makes it seem that it is the love child of bacon and roast pork.” he said. The raw white onion and cilantro complemented the Mexican spices he cooked the pork shoulder with.
“You’re awesome.” I told the Aggie Ring.
“No, Sir.” said Aggie Ring. “You’re… wait for it… awesome!”
That is all

There’s absolutely nothing subtle about today’s pairing. The slow-cooker espresso-marinated ribs are full of sweet, salty, spicy, and bitter flavors combining in a full-bodied meat.

Marinade Ingredients
* 5 cups water
* 12 ounces freshly-brewed espresso
* ½ cup coarse kosher salt
* 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (packed) dark brown sugar
* ¼ cup pure maple syrup
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
* 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
* 2 cups ice cubes
* 4 pounds short ribs, cut between ribs to separate
Short Ribs Ingredients
* about a dozen pork short ribs
* ½ cup salt pork, rind removed, diced small
* 2 cups onions, chopped
* ½ cup shallots, chopped
* 6 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, chopped
* 1 cup strong brewed coffee
* 1 cup chicken stock
* ¼ cup Sriracha Chili Sauce
* 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
* 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
* 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
Marinade Instructions
1. Stir 5 cups water, espresso, ½ cup coarse salt, and sugar in a large bowl until salt and sugar dissolve.
2. Add syrup, Worcestershire sauce, chopped rosemary, and ice cubes.
3. Stir the marinade until the ice melts. Add ribs, weighting them down with a plate to keep submerged if necessary.
4. Cover and chill 4 to 6 hours.
5. Drain ribs and discard marinade. Drained ribs can be held for up to two days, chilled in an airtight container.
Short Rib Instructions
1. Allow your ribs time to come up to room temperature. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper and rub it in lightly.
2. Using the slow cooker’s braiser insert, sauté salt pork over medium heat until beginning to brown. If your slow cooker doesn’t have a sear feature, you can do this step in a frying pan.
3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer salt pork to plate, and reserve. (These are now called “cracklins.”)
4. Increase heat to medium-high. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Working in batches, sear ribs until browned on all sides, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer to large plate.
5. Add onions, shallots, garlic, and jalapeño to pot. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
6. Add coffee and broth; stir, scraping up browned bits.
7. Add sriracha and all remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Add ribs, cover, and transfer your EasySear™ to the slow cooker.
8. Cook on low for 9 hours.

Newport Beach, CA. One of my favorite restaurants when we lived in Orange County, CA. Whenever we get back to OC we make a point of going there.
Two fabric "pillows" filled with styrofoam beads surround a pot.
Food is brought to a boil and then placed between the "pillows' to finish cooking.
This gyoza cooker was also imported from Japan. I didn't see it in operation, but knowing how I cook pot stickers, I can see how this contraption can work to create steam and also "sear" the bottoms. I'll look (for myself) on a return visit.
