Sarge, I just want to say Thank you. For everything you have done for our country, and everything you will do. You have a remarkable outlook on life and I wish you all the best.

Sarge,

I'm very sorry to hear about your Lupus. One of Mrs. Dar's college friends had it.

How are they treating it?

Yum, me too Pie.

Some Cassano's pizza and some Miller Lite. I haven't partied for my b-day yet! This means green olives on my pepperoni and extra cheese pizza; I may be the only person on earth who likes green olives on a pizza, so I am going to have to get some just for me!

Dinner last night was beef stir-fry. Easy enough to do with a real wok and a gas stove. It was delicious. I've got the rice thing down.

Cleaning up is less fun, however.

You've got that wrote, dar. If'n you cook the spouse cleans up (and vice versa, of course!)

You'd have to see how I cook. It wouldn't be fair to make someone else clean it up.

No you're not! I love both kinds of olives on my pizza...and banana peppers too.

Has anyone used a rice cooker to cook quinoa? Any suggestions?

The way a rice cooker works is by temperature--water boils at a constant temp. Once all the liquid has been boiled off and/or absorbed, the cooker senses the pot temperature rising above boiling point, and shuts itself off. This is why you couldn't do risotto in a rice cooker (aside from the fact that you have to keep stirring it while it's cooking,) because the final product is still very liquidy. I've never eaten quinoa, but if it's "done" when all the liquid is absorbed, then yes, you could make it in a rice cooker.

You means "saucepan" - right ?

Oh no, believe me, I am quite experienced at ruining rice in a saucepan.
