Not together!
We eat so much rice these days - we finally broke down and bought a 10 cup rice cooker. It's probably the best purchase we've made for the kitchen - except for maybe the bread machine. We found a 15 pound bag of basmati rice at Sams and we have made a pretty good dent in it. Looks like it might last us 3 months - maybe. :) Anyway, if you are doing this food lifestyle, I highly recommend it. Dillards had the 10 cup cooker for $59 and Target has an 8 cup for $49.
Wendy, Sean and the family are coming for supper tonight. We are making the old standby - naked burritos. The rice cooker is full and I'll start chopping veggies soon. I wanted to have a nice dessert and I found the recipe for this chocolate cake. I only made 1 change - of course, no oil in our cake - so I used baby food prunes instead. The batter was to die for and the cake was even better. I baked mine in a 9 x 13 pan and it was just right. Frosting has always been an issue but this recipe is great. Again, it calls for 2 T. of oil - but I just left it out. Yummy! I'm not sure this would work for a stacked cake - might have to do a double batch if you try it - but it sure tastes good. NOTE: This is full of sugar! No Fat - but LOTS of sugar. John and I tried a piece - after all, we couldn't be serving anything to company that might not taste good :) This will definitely have to be a "company" recipe for a treat.
