There's rice wank on
sf_drama, which makes me LOL just thinking about it ("Let me show you how to make rice without the use of cups or a rice cooker! To do this, let me get my cup and rice cooker!") and there's an article on
omonatheydidnt about how a Japanese chef insulted one of Korea's main dishes, bibimbap--which is DELICIOUS, btw. Awww, I wish I had the proper bowls for bibimbap...
Anyway, I'm now trying out my microwave rice/pasta/veggie steamer to cook rice in, and OMG, it is nice. I can't wait to use it when I cook Korean again, just because of the stove space I'm going to save. I won't use it when I'm making just rice for me, it's too big for that, I think...but parties and pasta? WHOOHOO. Also going to use it to steam the broccoli for Saturday. And tomorrow, Dani is going to help me test out the fondue set, and my new mixer will be used to make Paula Dean's "Boursin Cheese" dip, also for Saturday. (It's the dip I made for Nick's going away party).
EEEEH! I love getting cool Kitchen things for Christmas!
