What Are You Ingesting?

[mlooney 3,417]

While not currently ingesting, I got a 10 lb bag of rice and a rice cooker.  I'm seeing a lot of rice based side dishes in my up coming meals.

Cool! What brand/model of cooker?

Mongolian beef from the local Chinese food delivery place.

Aroma

Cheapest one of its size and features at Walmart to be honest.

*suspiciously* It doesn't summon elder gods on the side, does it?

Don't rightly know.  Still in the box.  That is not a listed feature however.

Left over Indian food and a cup of sweet milky tea.

Tea doesn't seem to have any transformation effects.

Rice cookers can also cook quinoa, teff, and many other grains!  Can be nice to add a little variety and a lot more nutrition.

Summoning Elder Gods ruins the taste, though.

There! See, JML? You need to have a word with your dishwasher!

Just had some Chicken Tikka from Desi Wok, the "casual" Indian food place in town.  Last Saturday I had it at India Palace, the "fine dining" Indian place in town (there are more, but those two are the ones I know the most about).  Reading the great wiki's article on Chicken Tikka I find that, in fact, they are not quite the same dish.  India Place serves the "sizzler" version, which explains why they don't ask for a "spice" level and Desi Wok does.  Learn something new every day.

These spicy noodles my cousin told me about. They live up to the hype, I actually had to use milk to handle the burning sensation where with other dishes I don't need it, if I notice a burning sensation at all!

Letting a PGT tea bag sit in the hot water until the water is, well, luke warm at best, results in very freaking strong tea.

Not that I'm not drinking it, but I think I'm going to skip my morning quad espresso today.

 

[mlooney 3,417]

For those people that care, the rice cooker does not, repeat does not, summon elder gods.

On the other hand, it does make rice quite nicely.  Having some with mushroom gravy and butter now.

About to try my "oatmeal plus raspberry jam" trick with rice instead of oatmeal. 

Actually pretty good, however because the rice doesn't absorb the water in the jam like oatmeal does it only needs half as much jam that a similar amount of oatmeal. Got a bit soupy. Will eat again. In fact might become my breakfast of choice.

Hot buttered rice, with sugar.

Frosted Flakes

Also Iced Tea made from an English Breakfast Blend in the Keurig.

Some day, I will run out of ways of making a different rice based meal twice a day.

But today is not that day!

Just made oven baked bacon, cut into smaller pieces than I normally do, package pork gravy and rice, all mixed up in on big bowl.  Very freaking tasty.

Will make again, as soon as I get more bacon.

[Pharaoh RutinTutin 1,586]

Doesn't the inclusion of bacon invalidate the objectiveness of any taste test?

[InfiniteRemnant 141]

Miscellaneous leftovers.

Not totally, I have had some Bad Food with bacon.  Normally over salted or with weird spiced, or both.  In general I can say that mint and/or rosemary in large amounts does not get along with bacon.  Also bacon doesn't save things that have weird textures.

A ninety-calorie lemon snack bar.

[CritterKeeper 1,102]

Italian beef and cheesy garlic bread -- things have been too busy at work for lunch until now (5pm) so I've run to the pizza place next door to get them.  Here's hoping I have time to eat them, too!

[mlooney 3,417]

The problem with the magic rice and water machine is that it needs, in addition to the rice and water, AC power. Something that I haven't had for some where around 18 hours. Off to make rice.

Rice made, buttered, sugared and eaten. I don't feel like I'm about to freak out any more. Need to get some breakfast bars AND HIDE THEM SO I DON'T EAT THEM EARLY for no power emergencies

I have now had it with and with out bacon.  With bacon is better.  not a lot better, but better.
