pressure cooker for healthy food

Back in the late eighties and early nineties I remembered as a kid, the taste of vegetables and meat and even rice. They tasted so wonderful! As years went by, the taste was forgotten. Every year I tried newer dishes from different cultures in different restaurants in different countries, thus eliminating my childhood taste buds entirely. At least that was what I had thought, that is, until last week. As I was sifting through stuffs in the messy store-room downstairs I got hold of a cooking utensil, the pressure cooker! I wanted to try it but it needed a hard proper cleaning before making it usable; but the temptation was too strong, and after three hours of cleaning, the cooker was fit to cook.

different types of search engines

Today, Google is the most powerful search engine on the planet. Billions of people google for all kinds of information they need, for activities ranging from doing homework to finding a restaurant nearby. Albeit a powerful one, Google is not a specific-purpose but just a general-purpose search engine among a plethora of others. As you are already aware of other types of search engines, take a look at a few of them listed below: Alexa – more of a website monitor and less of a search engine; can be used to search sites.
