I'm looking forward to making short rib pho when we get back from a trip to see #6 grandson and parents! I've always loved that you count the points as it takes the guesswork out of star anise. You're right, they're seldom whole stars when you're in the middle of preparing a dish or meal. I must say that my favorites of the pressure cookers is any brand that sports a jiggle valve (Hawkins and Presto). Maybe it's because mom and dad had them or maybe it's the control freak in me (probably both). If nothing else the sound of the gently rocking steam engine has become one of my comfort zone sounds from the kitchen!

Catching up on my PTFS reading. Is the Chinese black cardamom different than the black cardamom used in South Asian recipes?
