February 14 which is the Valentine's Day has been celebrated time and time again and the whole world participates in gift-giving and sharing of love, flowers, chocolates and maybe some are too wealthy to splurge on expensive jewelries for their loved ones and dinner date in the most expensive, fabulous restaurants ordering the choice of costly gourmet food.
Then today, February 17, 2020 and it is Monday today, warm inside the house but still cold outside with temperature of 5 degrees C. By the way according to the calendar, it is Family Day in British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick, Saskatoon, Ontario and Heritage Day in Nova Scotia. FAMILY DAY.
Everyday is supposedly FAMILY DAY. Duh. lol.
My husband didn't wait any longer to shop for that rice cooker. I told him we can do without it. However, he shops like a father. He went to Walmart and bought what he wants in a flash, that's it and come home with that rice cooker.
The rice cooker looked the same as the previous rice cooker we had for 8 long years. But not quite.
The old rice cooker had those 6 big buttons and one button for timer display. You have to plug the wire to the switch socket, then it beams up and just push the button for rice to cook and it automatically cooks and warm itself automatically. While the new rice cooker you have to plug the wire first to the socket then the beam lights up on all buttons then you have to push the button for "select mode" to whatever kind of rice you have whether white rice, quick rice or whole grain, then push START and it beams the 45 (for white rice) minutes timer. From 45 minutes time of steaming the rice, the countdown begins from 45 minutes to zero and the rice is cooked. Then it starts to warm up after and the time starts again from zero to 2 to 5 if you like it heated up.
measuring cup.
