More Kitchen Toys

Posted at 5:28 pm MST to Technology

When I ventured out to Costco last week, I arrived just when the pharmacy closed for lunch, so I had to hang out for a while waiting for them. This is always dangerous.

In addition to my meds and groceries, I ended up buying some kitchen equipment. (I've been watching Food Network a lot lately. Also dangerous. 'Good Eats' is on about 15 times a week.)

I got a computerized "smart" rice cooker out of geek curiosity, to see whether it can handle the altitude any better than the old ones. The lower boiling point of water here at 6000 feet makes cooking rice a little tricky.

And I got a serious metal mandoline slicer. My little plastic one can go into the travel kitchen supplies permanently, now.

This weekend I need to figure out some menus that will require a lot of slicing, and probably some rice. Then I need to shop for the ingredients so that I will have something to slice.
