Seattle is the home of Surly Table. Our purchases there are limited to
small gadgets and cookbooks. We may have purchased our bare-bones rice
cooker there. Their rice cooker selection is fairly limited. Uwajimaya
has more rice cookers than you can shake a stick at.

For more pricey items, we go to the Seattle Restaurant Supply Store
(Aurora Ave. north of 145th St) and occasionally Williams Sonoma.

All this talk of rice cookers...for lunch I made up a cup of rice in the
rice cooker...Jasmine rice; to it I added 1 can sliced mushrooms a good
handful of sliced almonds, some toasted dry minced onions a sprinkling of
allepo pepper and 1/3 cup cooked wild rice.

I added a tsp of chicken stock granules to the rice pot in lieu of actual
salt, plus a pat of butter.

Very tasty.
