“In Zootopia, anyone can be anything.” In its 92-year history, Walt Disney Animation Studios has created a long and storied legacy of talking-animal films—from Mickey Mouse’s debut short “Steamboat Willie” to “Bambi,” “Dumbo,” “The Jungle Book,” “Robin Hood” and “The Lion King.” WDAS returns to the wild with the feature film “Zootopia.” “We all grew up watching the great Disney animal films—we were immersed in those worlds,” says director Byron Howard. “My favorite childhood film was ‘Robin Hood,’ and we wanted to honor that legacy, but in a new and different way that dives even deeper. We started by asking, ‘What would a mammal metropolis look like…

Still Using the Power Pressure Cooker (Pt 2)
Most of you know if you read my last post about the Power Pressure Cooker XL that I am experimenting and trying some of my tried and true – regular oven/stove top made recipes in it. Obviously, I am still using it (almost daily) and I’m still in awe of it and daily feel as if someone gave me magic beans!

I mean I can cook and felt like I was a…

No Cooking Under Pressure with the Power Pressure Cooker XL
The last six months I have listened to my friends rave about their “lemming” pot. I would read and listen intently and never really thought about it. To me, I thought it was for “larger families” and not my small one. Then one night after the holidays were in the rear-view mirror I woke up to the tele (yes, I’d left it on) and there on my television was the Power Pressure Cooker XL. I have never been as fascinated as I was right then and there (and still am). I wanted to make ribs, macaroni, chili, and everything else in a fraction of the time, in one pot no less;…
