Kitchen Goddess Recipe Challenge #1 - Cucumber Cool
Since the challenges atoxicsparkle has been running in her wonderful Beauty Product Junkies group have been so fun, it seemed like a good idea to try out a recipe challenge! Since it's really starting to warm up (in most places), let's start out with a challenge for light and cold recipes. Let's see your best salads, pastas and generally cucumber-cool dishes, ladies!Rice Cooker
So, I'm sure there's some super-specialized place on the internet that could answer this question for me, but what I want to know is how many of you ladies have a rice cooker, and what else do you do with it? I just finally got one tonight and made some fantastic, perfectly cooked brown rice. I've been wanting one forever, because I'm so easily distracted I always wander away from the stove and accidentally let my rice burn. (Or I put in too much water.) I know, set a timer, I'm just ADD in the kitchen, I hear the timer, taste the rice, and wander away again, thinking to myself, "I'll go check on it in a minute...". And it seems like every time it takes a different amount of time to get to the right consistency, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 35 minutes... Easier to pony up the thirty bucks for the appliance than to try and change my behavior to become patient enough to deal, you know? Plus, honestly, the first batch of rice we made was so tasty, it's better than anything we've made on the stove, I don't know why.Help! What Should I do With Leftover Cheesecake Batter?
