Oh, I’m good. Really good.
Tonight I made something delicious in the rice cooker. Nope, not rice. A stir-fry, with a new ingredient:
I zapped the sweet potato (which was $0.45!) in the microwave while I went to work on the veggies. I chopped up the chicken sausage first and let it sizzle for a bit in none other than coconut oil! Then added the veggies and cooked til they were done. Voila!
Sorry ladies and gents, the pics aren’t the best today…but I was quite hungry and ready to dig in. It was delicious!
Is it weird that I am in love with a rice cooker? Don’t answer that…
Tonight is our last homecoming event. We are loading buses at 9:00pm to head to a “Destination Unknown.” Well, unknown to the rest of the chapter…but I know where it is. Muahahahaha! 
I’m in for a very long night (we won’t be getting back to Gainesville until 5:00am!!! I know, it’s obscene!), but I keep telling myself that “It’s almost over!” and “It’s only temporary!”
Oh, and this one from The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer is helping me too:
“I want to know if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.”
It’s not pretty today folks, but onwards and upwards

Ok, several people have referred me to your blog via comments on my last post (bc I am newly without a kitchen!!). And I completely understand the recommendations. You put your rice cooker TO WORK. I should probably invest in one; I never realized they were so versatile!
Sarah,
They are WONDERFUL! And this little guy was just $17 at Target!

Love the sweet tater :)

anyway! those turkey dogs look amazing! yum!
Oh, that dinner does look good! :)
Don’t worry about loving your rice cooker – I love mine, too! I’ve graduated from just cooking rice, to making my oatmeal and reheating leftovers in it. Just yesterday I came home STARVING after running errands, so I put my leftover chili in the rice cooker, turned it on while I put groceries away and did more errands around the house and just when I was ready to settle down and eat, it clicked off and was ready! It is a much needed tool in my kitchen now – in fact, I’m considering getting one for work, too!

After seeing all the creations you can make in a rice cooker, I really really want one! It would help me out soo much.
5 AM? Eeek! You’ll make it, and then the week will be done. Plus, I’m sure you’ll have a blast with all your friends.
You being in love with your rice cooker is no stranger than me being in love with my Vita-Mix. :)
Lovely dinner! You are so creative with that rice cooker. Have fun tonight! Good luck stayin up!
Perfect timing on that quote…
