We got a rice cooker! What can I say, it's a tug of war with the stuff. I'm convinced this is going to improve the quality of our life. In reality, it improved the quality of breakfast this morning... and we'll see about the rest. Last night I put 1 cup steel cut oats and 3 cups water into the cooker and pressed the 'brown rice' button. This morning the yumminess inside was not too hot, not too cold, it was just right! I'm not going to say that M is a picky eater, but she's particular about a lot of things. In the morning, sometimes minutes after she wakes, she starts pointing to her clip-on highchair saying, "sit? sit?". This means she wants breakfast. Since we wake up at approximately the same time, I don't have a chance to heat or prepare much of anything before the pleas become more vigorous. She loves cold cereal and super fast cooked scrambled eggs, so it's not really a problem, but I could see that there was room for improvement. The oats were a hit! They had a stickability which made self feeding with spoon or hand a snap and a generous portion was swallowed. The added plus is that I really enjoy eating hot cereal for breakfast too. For now at least, the cooker has earned pride of place on the countertop.
