I'm still not going to trust this number. This is usually when I start to self sabotage. So I'm just going to pretend I still weigh 183. Maybe that way I won't know I lost the weight and won't tell myself to pig out.
Been having a blast with my rice cooker. I love that little guy. I've started just cooking up huge pots of lentils and then a huge pot of rice. This way I have food ready to take with me on the road or eat when I get home starving. I also have made soup in it which was AWEsome! Peanut soup. So tasty! I was going to make my lentil loaf in it, but haven't tried that yet. Maybe today. Oh, which led me to something I have been coveting. I googled "can I cook meatloaf in a rice cooker", which led me to a website for truckers to post recipes they cook on the road. Well, each recipe listed which appliance they used. Several of the recipes listed a Burton Lunchbox. So OF COURSE I had to know what this was. WANT!! SO!! BAD!! It's like an old time lunch box construction workers used to take, well my dad had one anyway, the black ones with the thermos in the top. Except this one has metal lining the top and bottom, and it plugs into the 12v power outlet in the van, and HEATS YOUR FOOD ON THE ROAD WHILE YOU DRIVE! HOW COOL IS THAT? I could have actual real warm food! I'm so geeking out! I had just resigned myself to eating cold leftovers. Oh the possibilities!
Ok, if you don't hear from me for the rest of the week, I'm probably buried under bags of stuffed animals. Be well, safe journey everyone!

My boys favorites is to add 1 cup mixed frozen veggies and 2 Tb of veggie bouillon(I make it from braggs yeast) in 4 cups of rice. Turn on the cooker and voila!. The meat eaters put a bit of whatever chopped up and instant "fried "rice. Rice cookers rock.

Oh yes, I do a beans and rice too in the rice cooker. My family hates plain white rice but they will eat any rice dish go figure. I love it because it shuts itself off and has a warming function, win, win.

I like the rice cooker better than a slow cooker because it acts like a slow cooker only faster. All the vegetarian slow cooker recipes only take 4 hours on low, well thanks, but I'm still at work after 4 hours.

Roger Ebert wrote on book on rice cookers believe it or not. I haven't read it, but the snippets I've seen are more of a guide to thinking outside the rice. I really want to read it.

I never heard of using a rice worker for cooking, other than for rice. Now you have my curiosity going. I am going to Google it. :)~Ann

It's really nice for soup. Just saute your vegetables in the cooker, add broth and rice. Boom! soup.

Yeah the 4 hours in a crock pot for vegetarian recipes is nuts. Who only works 4 hours? I've gotten pretty creative because of that, trying to feed a houseful when I didn't get home until after 6pm. I am the queen of stir fry's too lol.

When I was still working I used an outlet timer (like you use for Christmas tree lights) to set my crock pot to start 4 hours before I got home. Of course that only works for veggie-type foods you're not worried about leaving on the counter for a few hours before cooking. It was great for soups!

Well aren't you just smart! Thanks for the tip.

That would work if you are using foods without any issues with bacteria build up while sitting out. If in a liquid though many may have issues.
