DÃ©jÃ  Vu is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning already seen.. When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done. It is a signal to pay special attention to what is taking place, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a certain area or complete what is not yet finished.
How to Cook Carrots on the Stove. Cook 1 pound carrots, covered, in a small amount of boiling salted water until crisp-tender: 1  7 to 9 minutes for 1/4-inch slices.
Instead of taking over an hour in a regular pot on the stovetop, you can cook beans in a pressure cooker in minutes instead. Black beans, for instance, can take about 2 1/2 hours to cook on a regular stovetop. Soaking the beans first will cook them faster, but even then you are looking at a total cooking time of around 1 1/2 hours. In a pressure cooker, your pre-soaked black beans cook in just 9-11 minutes.
