Famous Soviet Athlete,

Brilliant!

I had to find an excuse to return on the same day just so I could see that little blue button light up (on a Mac, you see)

Blaming is never having to submit.

Thanks a lot! I have a terrible sore throat and it hurts too much to swallow, so I can’t eat. Not that there is much around the house to eat.

Rice cooker? Can’t live without the 12 cup variety in my household, not the way Hubbie and #1 Son can suck down a dry kilo of the stuff in no time.

I am proud to say that when I did a well-paid but braindead focus group sometime back, my answer to the “what was the last kitchen appliance you bought and where did you buy it” was “Rice Cooker” and “88 Supermarket”, not “whizblenderthingy” and “QVC”. Better yet, it was a replacement for one we wore out.

That’s it. I’m buying a rice steamer as soon as the idiots who currently own the means of production find it in their cold hearts to finally pay me for work I did months ago. I need rice!

I’m really just commenting this time so I can push the beautiful button of blame.

“If Mary=false, eat.”

I have now adopted this as my new diet rule. Huzzah!

Twisty, does the Morsel Institute take requests? If so, may I request an ode to homemade to that perennial favorite of bachelor farmers and spinster aunts alike, soup?

“Probably no self-respecting Asian would have touched it”

A hungry one would have.

Well lo and behold, I somehow had run out of rice without knowing it, so I made Fried Ramen Noodle instead. Just as good. Used some frozen mixed veggies, an egg, leftover curry chicken breast and some chopped red & yellow bell pepper. And lots of garlic and onion.

Probably no self-respecting Asian would have touched it, but it was dern good.

Ha, ha! That was a great idea, Famous Soviet Athlete!

I always intend to make fried rice out of leftover white rice from Chinese take-out, but always have an attack of laziness, and end up just throwing the rice away after it’s been sitting in the fridge for two weeks. Sigh.

I second Wheelomatic’s contempt for celery. The stuff tastes like grass clippings.
