lentil cooking time in a pressure cooker

2023.1.29: web.cook/lentil/cooking time in a pressure cooker:

I reduce cooking time in 3 ways:

. soak the lentils in boiling water to soften them.

. puree the soaked lentils in a vitamixer;

and, that way some of the heat that was needed for

breaking up the lentils

can then instead be used for immediately

attacking anti-nutrients.

. use a high temperature by using an

InstantPot pressure cooker;

stolen cactus

2022.11.29: proj.apt`garden/stolen cactus:

. there were 3 pots of potatoes,

the pot on the right was half dug up,

in a place where 2 types cactus were located,

but one of the cactuses was thrown to the side.

I dug up the rest of the pot looking for potatoes,

but all I could find were 2 very small ones,

and one of the seed potatoes that seemed chewed,

while the pot seemed dragged out of place,

having me wonder if an animal did this,

but most likely a human was looking for a cactus.

flat-free tires

 2022.7.2: web.gear/bike/flat-free tires:

. solid tires are slower with

a much higher resistance to rolling

because they don't conform to bumps,

but I have felt such a sense of security

knowing that my commute to work 

will not be slowed by a flat repair,

which can get messy and complicated,

not sure to succeed.


I've gotten a lot of mileage out of amerityre

https://amerityre.com/our-flat-free-products/flat-free-bicycle-tires/

but they have made some design changes

since the tires I've tried.

. a folding bike I'm considering

comes with:

Muffin® Airless tires installed/$149

. another great choice is Tannus.

radioactive smoke alarm disposal

3.5: web.apt`trash/radioactive smoke alarm disposal:
. ionization (radioactive) smoke detectors
often need to be scrapped after 10 years;
in Arizona's Pima county you can't trash them:
store them in a sealed plastic bag,
or send them to the manufacturer.
. some places allow them to be in landfills
as they are not federally regulated.
. the photoelectric detectors are not radioactive
and can recycled with other circuit boards.
. one popular brand suggests consulting your
fire department about disposal
rather than offering to allow returns.

unlisted preservative #tBHQ might provoke #allergies, #obesity

6.9: news.health/immunity/
unlisted preservative tBHQ might provoke allergies, obesity:
. conventional preventive health science
has warned us to avoid fat
claiming it was the main source of
both cancer and heart disease,
whereas alternative medicine warned
that the primary problem was from
a diet high in grains and sugars.
. here is another example of convention
being right for the wrong reasons:
. it turns out that most added fat
in the many processed foods in the usa
contains hidden preservatives
which might have adverse affects
including food allergies and obesity.
