Didn't need fancy fuzzy neuro-logic rice cooker as I have a couple of other
ones. But now that I have it, the other ones haven't been used.

Therma-pen -- since I've bought mine, all other thermoemeters have been put
away.
Better get one before they hit the $100 mark. Everytime I see them, they go
up $5 -- not $2.50, but $5!

Cookbooks! I've bought so many in the last few months, I shall have to call
myself a collector. I've always bought a lot, but I've had the bug.

When you next travel, let us know what books you do take with you. I've oft
wondered if I had 10 books to take with me to a new abode what they would
be.


Maybe that's a good new topic. 10 cookbooks you wouldn't want to do
without. I'll start it.

I never cook large quantities of rice, nor do I cook it all that often.
I've found my favorite way of cooking it is in the microwave. It comes out
perfectly everytime. Even David likes it! :-)

I can't restrain myself with just 10 books. I am lucky to keep it
down towards 100 books with which I travel. One time I was on
assignment, I counted 250 cookbooks that I brought with me.

Not sure what will happen this time. If I get to go to San Diego, I
will be in the enviable position of having several rfc'ers in the
area...and the possibility of cooking with them quite a bit. So I am
thinking that I might run upwards on the cookbooks and equipment I
bring with me. There are several books I haven't used yet, that are
begging for me to delve into them, so I might take those.

I am thinking of putting all the paperback cookbooks in one box and
shipping that to myself there. I know, a devious way to get around
not having enough room in the van...LOL. Same with some equipment,
etc, that isn't breakable, and won't cost a fortune to ship.

For those of you in San Diego...if I get to come there (should know
this week) do you have any requests of cookbooks for me to bring? In
anticipation of cooking together, that is. I know that I am going to
bring the Michel Richard book, Happy in the Kitchen: that was the book
that the Faux Gras came from.... There are quite a few recipes in
that book that are calling out to me....

I too have several rice cookers one regular one fuzzy logic plus I've
made rice in a pot and in a microwave.

The reason I have 2 devices only for rice cooking is the older plain jane
rice cooker has a serious scratch in the non stick liner and I haven't
thrown it out yet.

The newer fuzzy one does a very good job of rice cooking...it doesn't
leave a brown skin on the rice on the bottom of the pot...which some folk
like. Which is just fine by me.

I don't have a brown skin on the bottom of the pot when I cook rice in
a regular pot on the stove...

I have never had a rice cooker, and will probably never ever get one.
I can think of other expensive kitchen toys that I would prefer to
buy... For instance, more great knives. And that ice cream maker I
inadvertantly got you to buy...

I like a rice cooker mainly because un-upervised it will make 1 cup or
oodles of rice and keep it warm for several hours. Plus I have a nice
rice cooker cooknook with 250 recipes to try.

Where exactly is this cooknook located and is it dedicated to only your
rice cooker? Seems like a cooknook could hold far more than a meager 250
recipes. :-)

Or, is it just getting to late to type. <veg>

I have a room full of left-over unused art supplies and a room full of art
books.

I have a room full of left-over quilting supplies and quilting books.

I have a room full of music instruments and music books (now relegated to
the attic).

3 decades of collecting, hoping for a decade for a few more roomfulls of
kitchen stuff.

Now with news this morning of new hope for Alzheimer's, maybe I'll be able
to enjoy the kitchen stuff.

Anything new and shiny,

I like the fuzzy one for the same reason, no brown skin. It also doesn't
pack as much. I usually use chopsticks to stir before serving instead of
cutting into it with a big spoon. The spoon as everyone knows is for
serving.

One thing that makes the fuzzy one more difficult to use is their
recommendation -- if you follow it -- is to wash the rice in another pot
instead of the pot that comes with it, so that the grain will not scratch up
the coating. Let's hope that the coating is harder than that -- but I have
followed their instructions on that count.

My older rice cookers are perfect steamers. I have no problem keeping them.

My old rice cooker didn't even have a steamer insert...it just cooks
rice.

My new rice cooker did come with a steam insert which I'll probably never
use.

I have a dedicated electric veggie steamer slash hard boiled egg maker. I
used this steam more often to hard boil eggs than to actually steam
anything.


Since I nuke my veggies mostly and I rarely steam anything else. I've
started noticing how many things I have to steam with...the wok, pasta
pot, rice cooker and the electric steamer this doesn't count the various
steamer pot inserts I have floating around in boxex and drawers,

I think the nature of rice cookers is that it does leave that brown stuff on
the bottom. Why the fuzzy doesn't, I don't have a clue. Does anyone?

Same here, sweetums.

You've told me about some of your 'collections.'
Although I don't know if you're into the new stuff like I am.

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.

Not so much. Can't really afford it these days. We're still buyinig odd
bits of furniture for the new (now 1 year old) house.

I mis-wrote. I meant to say, Although I don't think you're into the new
......."

I'll bet you have some selections of furniture stores in that area -- Geez,
I've not seen any good furniture stores since the 70's in Seattle, the Bon
Marche -- if anyone remembers. Even a good furniture store doesn't seem to
have what I'm looking for anymore.

Dee Dee

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.

We have some nice shops and design studios here, but 90% of what I buy is
from NYC where I still know dealers.

That's fantastic!

When we lived in Hawaii, we lived the last months in a high rise. A guy
moved in adjacent and immediately started remodeling. When he went to buy
his furniture, he took a trip to North Carolina and had it all shipped to
Oahu. He invited me in to see it after it was completed, I was interested
in the furniture he had picked.

What he had chosen was mostly a mixture of French Provincial and Ethan Allen
type furniture, but he had put a fake fireplace in the living room. The
condo was wall-to-wall furniture. Guess he had over-bought - :-)) The
prices ARE good in NC, I've heard.

Good luck,
Dee Dee

Yuch! As much as I like traditional furniture, I can't see using it in
the tropics.
It always made me sad to visit old friends who had retired from New
England to
Florida, taking their heavy, dark furniture with them. It looked out of
place, incongruous
with the lush surroundings and indoor-outdoor living.

But with the indoor-outdoor living, the plastic slip covers sure help

Living in the Arizona desert, we have a quasi mix of desert southwest and
antiques. It seems to work well.

Back many years ago in anothe lifetime, I worked as a licensed interior
designer. I hate to bring ethnicity into this, but it always seemed to be
either Jewish or Italian clients with "a bit" of money who had literally
everything covered in plastic...custom made plastic slipcovers, lampshade
covers, you name it. It was hard not laugh on a first visit.

Oh my goodness, we were just talking about them today. Jewish
and Italian, I do not know why. I think the discussion started in
reference to the movie Goodfellas. You never saw plastic covered
furniture? They even came up with stuff that had breathable holes
all over so when you sat down, WHOOSH all the air came out.

Sorry if anyone is offended, it's just true. Funny as hell.

Back in the day, the "best" ones were known as "cast vinyl" slipcovers.
There were a couple of local companies that specialized in making these.
They could custom slipcover anything! Usually they used clear vinyl, but
some that I saw were tinted pale shades of color. Unbelievable!
