My Kitchen Loves Japan

I like to eat. Food is good. As I mentioned in the previous post, we eat a lot of rice, so, yeah, I have a rice cooker. I'm on my third one and actually the one we're using now was supposed to be for my eldest daughter when she moves to college next fall. We've nearly killed it, so I'll have to buy two new ones- one for her and one for me. Shikata ga nai.

This is one of my favorite appliances other than my rice cooker. It is a water heater-upper thingy that I got from the Korean market in town. The hostel in Tokyo had one and I decided I needed one at home, so I got a big one! It's great. You just fill it up with water, plug it in and *poof* Hot Water. Great for a quick cup of tea or a bowl of instant soup. Speaking of which...I wish I could find Knorr Corn Soup packets here. Grrr. I spend way too much money on shipping. Uh oh....I'm digressing again...here's the photo:

I love it so much.

I also love Bulldog Sauce. It is my favorite sauce in the universe. I just got four bottles in the mail from J-List (shameless plugs ensue- I signed up for their affiliate program, but only because I shop through them and have always gotten good service and good products, so there you go). Here's a nifty little pyramid of three bottles:
