Today after a much easier day at VBS, I came home and my mom and I decided that it was high time to break in the new rice cooker she bought. Due to the fact it arrived on Saturday (right before VBS) no one has felt a desire to cook anything more complicated than pasta or take-out food. I've been trying to eat a little healthier this summer, so in an attempt to do so I ate grapes while we figured out the rice cooker. As a side note, this rice cooker electronically "sang" Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when we started it. Oh Japan and the things you do.
An hour later when the rice was done, I felt that just putting the rice in a bowl to eat it is a little boring (although still delicious), so I made some onigiri (rice balls).
My onigiri making station! Except I already made them all. The bowl on the far left had rice in it and he stuff in the little canister on the right is some wasabi furikake I bought ages ago that I've been wanting to try.
Yay onigiri! And then after my lunch I did a walk/jog/run thing for four miles. Which was awesome, and hopefully as I go through blogging every day I can also manage to exercise everyday. I don't really feel like making it an official part of my blog, but it's definitely a goal that's there.
Those look adorable, b-t-dubs.
ReplyDeleterice takes an hour to cook in a rice cooker???
ReplyDeleteI definitely want a singing rice cooker. What brand is it?
ReplyDeleteIs the Wasabi furikake good? (although I always have and always will call it "sprinkles". Can't quite break some of those little kid habits.) My dad just bought some, and I've been wondering about it.
It's interesting. I don't know if I would choose to use it all the time, but it's good if you want to have something different. And the brand we got was Zojiroshi. They're kinda expensive, but the reviews we read for it were all good. So we figured it might be worth it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Amelia, I actually don't remember now how long it took XD I asked me mom and she thought it took more like half an hour. So, maybe I'm just crazy.
