I watched a talented cook do it, so tonight I figured I could do it too.
That certainly reads like a recipe for disaster, doesn’t it? And yet, somehow I managed to produce a decent meal for myself. I made a couple cups’ worth of rice in the spiffy rice cooker we picked up a few weeks ago, and I heated up some meatballs (previously frozen, to be sure… my talents only go so far, after all) in BBQ sauce on the stove. Not only did I do these two things, but I did them correctly, and the results were edible rather tasty.
Sure, it’s not normally something to write home an entry about, but you must keep in mind that I’m not normally found doing food-preparation activity of any kind other than punching buttons on the microwave.
By the way: Two cups of rice, uncooked, makes a whole steaming lot (pun very much intended) of cooked rice…

Did I mention how proud of you I am for cooking, unprodded, using the stove and not using the nuker?
wow…that’s great! Of course there was a day…way…way back when, when you cooked for us (since Mom was worse and I was too young) until I think I turned 8….;)
Yay for rice – the staple of my peoples for generations!!! Cooking is fun, though I have to admit, when cooking for 1-2 people, it can be a bit tough.
Cooking in small amounts can be /very/ entertaining. Luckily rice cookers are made small enough to be of a perfect size for 1-2 people, and for a few more. Okay, so I love the baby rice cooker we picked up, I may be a bit biased there.
Rice is goooooood. 🙂
I wanted to ask someone a question who have successfully posted an amv at http://www.animemusicvideos.com. I have video’s uploaded, but I can’t seem to get them hosted (or reviewed?) on this site to make them available for other people to watch. Could you tell me how you were able to get your stuff reviewed so that it would be made available on this site?
Thanks bunches in advance,
