I do a quick soak when I haven’t planned ahead: bring the beans to a boil in salted water (you don’t have to measure; if it tastes like seawater after dissolving the salt, you’ve got the right ratio) and then immediately shut it off and let it sit for an hour.
One note: different kinds of beans take different lengths of time to cook, so check the package!
1·3 months agoI was gonna nominate the Hellraiser series, but the reboot movie that came out a few years ago was at least watchable.

4·4 months agoConsistently much more humid where I am, yeah. Also milder so far, which is nice after last year’s multi-100+ heatwaves. (I’ve probably just jinxed my weather, great.)
I finally got around to watching it (sorry it took so long!). I agree with your review pretty much in full, actually, and second that it’s not for the squeamish lol.
The whole thing was beautifully shot, including the horror bits, and the story was really good at getting you to sympathize with Elvira on her downward spiral, led astray and enabled by the adults.
Spoiler thoughts
Alma is the best character, imo, although I would have liked to see her be a more constant voice of reason and/or obvious alternate role model that Elvira is blind to, rather than just the savior at the end.
Re: Agnes: Initially, it sounded like Agnes only wanted to marry the prince so she’d have the money to bury her dad, but then the after-credits shot makes it clear that she never did. So at that point, why not steal anything of value and run off after her stable boy instead (apart from the story needing to match the fairy tale)? I think I agree with you that it must have been for spite, but I found her motivations kinda blurry.
It’s on my watch list, although I’ll probably end up waiting til it’s streaming to see it. Glad to hear it’s good!
( !horrormovies@lemm.ee and/or !horror@lemmy.world might appreciate this post, too.)
A lot of people use a pressure cooker to significantly reduce the cooking time and energy cost. However, that obviously requires a pressure cooker/instant pot, and being comfortable using one.
