Hi Bruce,

the preparations for Sandor's lecture are going very well - lots and lots of interest!

I am going to import some silit pressure cookers and a few of their other items - just a few for now - to Australia directly from Germany.

I am also now alternating a lot between boiling and pressure cooking my rice/grains. After a few days of each I start to crave the other - the relaxed softness of boiled rice and then the sturdier texture of pc rice.

I have been boiling it in my genmai donabe - a clay pot which like the ohsawa pot is made of a specially fired clay that is also supposed to impart the far infra red energy into the food.
Whatever it is food cooked in a clay pot is always delicious with often a lot less seasoning.

I just love dried daikon, onion and cabbage with dried tofu slowly simmered in a clay pot with a drizzle of shoyu or tamari....mmm....!
