Cooking 101

I learned to make great boiled cabbage, carrots. Especially when I get to use the pressure cooker at the Jansens.

Everything could be boiled to pulp within minutes. But careful. Be4 you unscrew the pressure button, you make sure you've run cold water over the whole pot, or else there would be a nasty explosion and all your cabbage and other stuff could be on the kitchen ceiling and floor!

The Brits are great at using time-saving devices. They don't balk at canned stuff or ready-to-cook meat or fish. I'm always amazed how they can rustle up a meal within an hour of getting home from work, get change and be supremely good hosts when the guests arrive.
