FInd the right priest and you'll have a two-fer!
He'd probably say we just need to give it last rites...
Yeah, but fixing it on the stovetop means you have to still be in the vicinity of the kitchen when the dang bell rings so you don't burn it! I like doing the 'fix and forget' it style of cooking whenever I can!
Heh.
Heh...speaking of last rites (no, not another funeral).
Wife ran into our senior pastor Saturday at the yard sale. She was commenting on how many funerals we'd been to (including his eulogy for David).
He said "That made my sixth...."
Somehow though, I don't think that means I'm called to preach.
When we had the Japanese teacher come to live with us, wife bought a rice cooker. I don't think it was vey spendy...
same here, but while the rice is cooking, I'm usually in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on dinner
The problem I seem to have is with my gas range, I don't have a low! If I put it down low enough, it goes out! It's either rolling boiling or nothin'!
I've been putting it up on top of two burners stacked one on top of the other, but I feel it's dangerously teeter-tottery...
And the idea of just dumping it in the crock pot and forgetting about it really is appealing.
Got muh cuttings....headed out the door for the airport. Talk to you later.
We got Paul a rice cooker for Christmas. It's a non-stick and was only about $20.
I think ours was cheaper, and not non-stick.
I had actually forgot about it and it got real mushy. It's more like a paste than rice.
I dunno if I let it cook too long or what...maybe it won't even work.
Maybe I should have cooked it on low...
Hmph.
Got kudzu?
wife was telling me last night about a recipe that uses leftover rice...spread some rice into a muffin pan, make little wells, fill the wells with cheese and prosciutto, maybe some kinda veggie too, top with more rice and bake until golden brown and crispy.
sounded good to me...too bad I'm South Beachin' it right now :(
You know what I'm wondering?
I am wondering why you can't find a non-commercial egg washer.
I'm thinking you ought to be able to buy one of those swirling foot-bath jobbers, put egg washing detergent in it and wash your eggs in it.
The smallest egg washer I can find is about $1300! I think if I could find a swirling (and even better, vibrating) foot washer, for the amount of eggs I might potentially have, it would work.
If'n we ever have a bit more eggs coming in than we do now...I mean, if we have 25 chickens someday, a footwasher could easily handle that many...
Of course it wouldn't ever be used as a footwasher...
I don't know that I've ever thought about needing an "egg washer."
Yeah, bummer.
I'll feed it to the chickens...it won't go to waste and they won't believe their luck.
Well, the problem is they step in stuff and then track it onto the eggs. We just wash them now with a little soap and water...I have a system.
I have one egg carton. I put the newest ones in and take the oldest ones out. Then I wash the oldest ones and put them on the counter. (Fresh eggs don't go bad even setting out...not for a long time...weeks.) Once I wash them, they have their protective coating removed and must be eaten within a day or so. So Steve and I eat the oldest, washed eggs first because they're sitting right there.
However, when I say oldest, I imagine even our oldest eggs are maybe 3 days old.
It's a good system, but would not work for more than this little handful of chickens and people who buy eggs (if I ever sell 'em) would want their eggs as clean as I could get 'em. Rightfully so.
