Welcome to my blog. I got this idea to document my rice-cooker adventures while sitting in my living room, wondering what kind of legacy I would leave my children, other than a mountain of debt and some nice watercolor paintings. I dearly love my rice cooker, but was torn because I don't believe in owning single-purpose kitchen appliances (I believe one of the greatest indicators of wealth in the modern society is the amount of counter-top space one has in their kitchen - I already told you I'm poor so you know how much I have).
I knew there must be more to my rice cooker than, well, just rice. I just knew it. So I looked at my little buddy (endearingly named Francisco) and thought - "I wonder if I could cook beans in it."
"Cook beans? In a rice cooker?"
Apparently I had thought out loud. My roommate looked up with a sparkle in her eye.
"I mean, probably. You could, probably."
And probably was all I needed.
It didn't take me long to dream big dreams about me and Francisco, gallivanting along on our culinary adventures together. Why stop at beans? The world was our oyster!
Hmm...I wonder if I can cook oysters in the rice cooker.
Anyway, welcome to our grand adventure. I hope this can be a catalyst that sparks your own rice cooker journey, to boldly go where few small counter-top portable kitchen appliances have gone before.
To my fellow rice cooker cookers, I salute you.
Let the games begin.
You have children?!?!
