Pot barley takes longer to cook than pearl, but an overnight soak in water will speed things along. It's a robust grain that, if overcooked, won't collapse but will become more tender.
I'll get home from work on Friday night and take out some beans and soak them. The next morning, I'll put them in a pot for soup, then just keep chopping, chopping, chopping - carrots and celery and cabbage - and in two or three hours, you have this wonderful, mellow soup that fills up the whole house with its aroma.
I'm great at dishwashing.
When you're around somebody like E-40, all you can do is watch and learn, and soak up game.
The tub helps me relax, and it's a great place to read.
And I sit in my jacuzzi with my script.
I do not like mud baths at all.
I got mad love for hot tubs.
I have a beautiful, big bathtub.
I take showers, I don't like them because I like baths in very nice jacuzzi or garden tubs.
When I think of baths, I generally think of children, the elderly, couples, and the English. Who takes baths? I mean, seriously - none of my friends take baths.
I like to read in the bathtub. Ideally, that bathtub would be located on a small Greek island.
A million words were going through my head and honestly I didn't say one of them. I wanted to let it sit, simmer, you know I wanted to soak it all in - the moment was amazing.
I am a wringing wet.
In the 1920's candidates generally took a stand on the issue of prohibition. He himself was a teetotaler.
Somebody said that I'm a bit like a sponge, grabbing things here and there, soaking stuff up. [As a director] you have to be, really.
First of all, you want to do the soaking with almost all of the larger beans because that will take care of the gas, and second of all... they want to be seasoned and flavored.
The hot tub is my best friend.
Sometimes you just feel so fortunate to be in the company that you're in and you just want to soak it all up.
I used to soak my mitts in a bucket of water for about two days. Then I'd put a couple of baseballs in the pocket and wrap it up with a rubber band. Today you don't have to do that, because catchers' mitts are more like first baseman's gloves.
