- Rice Steamer-People, how did I live 45 years without one? If I had one in college I probably would have eaten. I've always dreaded the boil, simmer put top on neediness of rice. Aunt Kim at my chung chou chung nail salon told me how to estimate the rice to water ratio and now I don't even have to get out a measuring cup! You just put in the rice and add enough water to be about the distance from the bottom of your pinkie nail to the tip of your finger. There are like 25 bucks at Target. Get one.
- Wine Vacumn-Beleive it or not, I don't drink wine by the bottle. A great way to seal the wine so it is toasty fresh when you open it later. Ya know like in an hour or two..
- Fun Measuring Cup-Measuring is so boring. Why not make it fun? I got this one at my favorite site Uncommon Goods...
- Let's Get Spicy- Staples to have to throw on some boring ass piece of meat or vegetables to make it sassy...
Emeril's Bayou Blast. All part of my Louisiana PSTD therapy. And it's good shit.
Crushed Garlic in a Jar. Screw chopping fresh garlic. I really don't see a difference. Maybe I'm just low rent...
Salt is so passé. Seriously, we oh so healthy Americans ingest too much sodium. Check out the side of that Diet Coke can. I love this stuff. If you need a bit of salt it is sea salt and black pepper together in a grinder. Get it at Fresh Market:
- Cloth napkins that rock. I go to Pier I and Anthropolgie (The Temple™) and buy all kinds of cloth napkins on sale. No paper napkins (say in same voice used for Joan Crawford's "no wire hangers" speech.)
