Well, the dinner went great, but I made way too much food.
Absolutely no time for photos though...
The cooking totally exhausted me and I was passed out on my couch by eleven thirty.

It doesn't become mush, although if you leave certain things in for long enough, they get pretty close. Another benefit is that you can buy the cheapest, crappiest cuts of beef, and they still come out incredibly soft and tender. The only drawback is that cook time will be at least six hours, so some advance planning is necessary. But prep time and everything else is so brief, it's well worth it. Add Japanese curry mix or a "cream of"-type soup to prevent it from becoming a stew, and you're good to go.

Pressure cookers are something I want to invest in soon.
I love brown rice and apparently brown rice tastes best either cooked by pressure cookers or 30,000 yen rice cookers.
Obviously my budget says, go for a pressure cooker.
