I made rice!!
Apparently, the first time, my rice cooking insticts were right. yet I doubted myself. To cook rice, you just have to press a big red button (it's always the big red button right?). However back in Toronto the rice was done after 15 minutes. Here, after 10 minutes the water only gets warm, so I had doubted myself and switched buttons after 10 minutes had passed. As it turns out, I asked a Japanese girl what the new button I pressed translated to and we decided it meant "porridge." So what I had done was half cooked my rice, doubted myself and then switched over to porridge mode. The result was half-cooked, soggy, watery rice, which if you read the earlier rice post, I promptly trashed.
I don't have to throw my clothes on the floor!!
The top ones can hold up to 1kg and the bottom hooks 1.5kg. I should have bought only 1.5kg ones, but the miser in me wanted to save a few dollars. Now the miser in me has to watch my clothes fall off because the top hangers aren't curved hooks (like the bottom), but are instead perpendicular (about 90 degrees) hooks.
I have a cute Japanese dining set!!
I was at first going to buy these regular circle plates, but I thought these looked more Japanesey. They look much more Japanesey right?
I can fry or boil MEAT!!
So far I've just prepared steak. I'm going to stick with the steak for awhile and then include chicken and then meats that have not been recognized or classified by me. I'll call these meats USS: Unidentified Sitting Meats.
