AMUSING

It seems to me that the rice cooker way of life you endorse would be perfect for the stars of the documentary Cinemaniacs. Makes sense, since it was developed by a borderline cinemaniac (I mean that in the best sense, of course). Also, Werner Herzog could probably have used these techniques to make that leather shoe a little bit more digestible, no? Thanks so much for the years of reviews and the new joys of the blog. Happy rice cookering!

Ebert, I could not love your blog any more than I do. I clicked on the link expecting some dry reference from a Pot to … I don’t know, the latest Kevin Smith movie, and was surprised, hesitant, disappointed, humored, and then informed. I think I’m actually gonna go out and get one of these things now. Thanks, and keep up my favorite blog (you pushed out DailyKos, can you believe it?).

Cooking humor? Who knew? We have a cooker. Have had it for at least ten years. Used it maybe five times early on. Been in the barn ever since. I liked your take, so tomorrow I will pull it out of the cabinet and give it another chance. Luckily I passed on selling it on eBay.

So who has the #1 Best Written Blog on the Internet?

Ebert: Dan Lyons at http://realdanlyons.com/blog/. I’m happy being down here at #2. It takes the pressure off. The whole list is here: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9116838&&source=NLT_AM&nlid=1.

When the wedding wrap revealed a rice cooker, I put on my best at-least-it’s-not-another-platter smile. Three years on, the husband’s gone but the rice cooker is still with me. Steamed veggies, quick risottos, and perfect basmati every time.

First off, I must say that the rice cooker my wife and I received for our wedding was, hands down, the best present we got—beating out the TV and the queen-sized bed.

Reading this while watching an Iron Chef (Japan) rerun left over on my TiVo, I notice that one of them has a Pot going. If it’s good enough for an Iron Chef, it should be good enough for all of us, no?

Just one question—when you are pulling off your culinary feats, where on your person do you hide Remy?! … Anyway, when I tried the rice cooker adventure inspired by you, imagine my surprise when the first spoonful suddenly made my mind zoom back to the good ole days when I staggered home bone-tired from hectic play and Mom would comfort me with a ready plate of thumping good grains!

You may also be interested to know that rice cookers and Indian films have a faithful connection. Last year I watched a pale derivative of Lolita starring the famous Amitabh Bacchan, and in one
