Pressure Cooker

We've just returned from our annual winter trip to Tucson. I haven't posted anything since before we left. But now, I'm back.

Twice a year Far Horizons has patio sales in the park. When the spring one was coming up, I decided there were two things I'd look for. The first was a small wooden cutting board to use for cheese. I thought this might be an easy one. I found a perfect one for 25 cents. But the second thing I've wanted is a pressure cooker to use for cooking beans. I figured this one was not likely.  Well, Bob and Claire Rogers had not one but two old pressure cookers. The one I bought (for $1!) is from the 40's. It needs a new gasket, and I thought I should probably replace the rubber vent plug as well. I found a place online that sells replacement parts for all models, so I ordered them.  For $16 total, including shipping. I don't have them yet, but I'm hoping they will work.  Stay tuned.

I'm also going to start keeping track of our purchases again. So I'll call this Month Five.
