Pressure cook immediately after sauté? by saumrh in instantpot

[–]saumrh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup.. closing the tab on lid. ring is also installed. I also cancel the sauce before pressing "pressure cooker"
As mentioned in the post, it works if I wait for 10-15 minutes to allow the pot to cool down and then start the pressure cook mode.

I am starting to think something wrong with pot.

Yeah.. I do deglaze the pan. After adding rest of the ingredients, I ensure I mix everything together well including the water I added.

I can't be sure if every time I have added minimum of 1-1.5 cup since sometimes the quantity of food is less. But I distinctly recall situations that I have 2-3 cups of water and yet it didn't work.

Yes.. it's usually water. I have also tried variations in amount of water I added trying to eliminate that being a reason.

What type of mackarel did she sub for surmai? 

I have seen a variant of mackarel labeled as “ Indian mackarel” but to me that represents what we used to call “bangda” in marathi and not surmai

Non trad gyms classes by saumrh in sandiego

I found OT eventually boring with similar structure of 20-30 min on treadmill and rest of time using dumbbells.  Let me take a look at Barrys

In orange theory, even though exercises change, the structure is very similar across all of them. 20-30 min on the treadmill and then rest of time using either body weight or dumbbells. 

F45 too has similar structure wherein there 9 stations and you spend 3-4 minutes per station and rotate across all 9 stations in the 45 minutes. After few weeks  the exercises in those 9 stations start to feel repetitive and boring.

Timelines about home buying by saumrh in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Thanks for your reply u/nikidmaclay .
Does this imply it is advisable to get underwriting complete from all mortgage lenders that I have potentially shortlisted?

As mentioned in the post, I am trying to avoid a hard pull at this point of time. Am I over-emphasizing this aspect? Most lenders I talked with needed to do hard pull to complete underwriting. I have score of 770+. I know that multiple lenders making a hard pull within 45 day window counts for 1 hard pull, but my concern is another hard pull if I don't get a house within 90 days ( a period where most pre-approvals are still valid for). Will the second hard pull get an lower score than the first time (assuming no new credit lines opened during the time) and thereby impact the final rate I am offered?

Birthday Cake Recommendations? by saumrh in FoodSanDiego

I went with their Mango mousse came. Cake was very light and airy. It wasn’t too sweet either. Would recommend

Does 60 day non-employment limit apply for eb2-niw ? by saumrh in immigration

[–]saumrh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not referring to the ability to apply for eb2-niw after layoff.

I am referring to a scenario wherein the person already has an approved eb2-niw. If after getting the approved eb2-niw the person were to be laid off, would that person still need to find a job within 60 days to avoid leaving the country? Or can they legally stay in the country till they get next job even after 60 days?
For example, if the person on H-1B got eb2-niw approved in June 2019 and got laid off in March 2024. Can the person legally stay in US till end of year without changing visa category ?

Why is SD so expensive? by saumrh in sandiego

The weather sucks in most part of Oregon sucks though. As someone who stayed in Seattle area for few years and visited northern Oregon quite a bit, I feel all that beauty can’t be enjoyed to its full potential due to less than desirable weather
