I did it tonight for dinner for the first time in a *VERY* long time.

I've been using a m'wave rice cooker for the past 20 odd years, as it
was a set it and forget it type of thing.

We are preparing for the move interstate, and choosing what to keep and
what to sellf. We bought a convection/grill m'wave about 14 months ago,
and both decided that we wouldn't bother taking it down Tassie, so we
were going to sell it as it was still damn good!!
As bad luck would have it, with all the storms and shit we've been
having of late... some people lost a lot of stuff.

A youngish family that we were told about had lost a lot of their stuff
through power surges and water damage.... hubby was out working all the
time to get some extra $$'s together to buy replacement gear (*NO*
frikken Contents Insurance!! Duh!!), mum was struggling at home with the
3 young kids, they'd lost their m'wave (blew up) and were flat out using
their cash to buy stuff for the kids...... so we gave them ours. And a
couple of large boxes of other stuff to top up their linen cupboard and
wardrobes.

At this frikken rate, we'll give away all our stuff before we manage to
sell anything!!

Anyhoo's....... the SO told me tonight that the rice I cooked tonight
was the best she's had in "bloody ages".

4 cups of water/coconut cream/milk, and two cups of Basmati rice, with a
couple of Pandan leaves in there as well.

On top of that was some creamy garlic Tiger Prawns, with some stir fried
red capsicum.

As a side/bonus..... I had some leftover Kifler potato chunks that had
been roasted in Duck fat, so heated them up in the wok as well.......
(Damn!@! You don't know how much you use your m'wave till it's not
there!!)

I keep going back now and then for a spoonful rice........ bloody nice!!

I think I'll do my rice on the stove top from now on :-)
