I'm sorry, Hil. Feel better.
The cornbread came out excellent, and just as fluffy as normal. I make it with melted butter instead of the oil it calls for. The chili was also delicious. The rice nsm. I'm terrible at making rice.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

We have a baby Rival rice cooker that H bought at Target that we love. It cooks rice perfectly every time. It also has a steamer basket if we want to throw vegetables in there while the rice cooks. No more boiling over foamy pans, or gritty undercooked rice. I feel so spoiled every time we use it.

Does it work with brown rice too?

Yes, it does! You put in twice the water as rice--white or brown--and it cooks until the rice is perfectly done. You don't even set a timer. Seriously, I love rice, and it's never spoiled and never messy with this. Looking at Target ads, the 6-cup Aroma cooker is closest to the one we have.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I always use a rice cooker. It just makes things so much easier. And yes, it works with brown rice. One cup rice, two cups water, press the button, and perfect rice about 45 minutes later.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I make it with melted butter instead of the oil it calls for.
Yeeeeesssss.
now I want cornbread
me too
Icy sidewalks and unstable joints are a really bad combination. I didn't fall, but my ankles and knees are seriously not happy with me.
I'm glad you didn't fall, Hil. Isn't there anything that could help with that rather scary situation? Seems like there ought to be.

I also always use a rice cooker. Also keeps a burner free on the stove.

Thanks, everyone. I just realized that I have a multipot still in the box with a rice cooker function. I think I'll try that next time before I invest in another thing we don't have room for in our tiny kitchen.
