susandennisI have needed a new rice cooker for a while now. I must have one with a coated pan. (I had one with an aluminum pan and it made my spine crawl everytime I touched it. I gave it away.) Anyway, I looked all over the web and the ones I thought I wanted didn't state for sure what kind of pan they had. So, heck, Uwajimaya is 4 blocks from here. So off I go.
Uwajimaya is a huge Japanese grocery store/book store/Asian food court/etc. It's a very cool place.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mindme talks about it fairly frequently and I always think of him when I get there. I think I'm going to find him in the produce section with his hand clutching his hair in dispair like one of his user pics. But, I digress.
They had, as you might imagine, about a gazillion different rice cookers - all sizes, all shapes, all kinds. I found the one I wanted. I would have gotten a fancier one but the small version of the fancier one was a Hello Kitty one. Does a pink rice maker make pink rice?
And what's the deal with Hello Kitty? I don't really get it. Uwajimaya had Hello Kitty stuff everywhere. There was a half an aisle of different types of Hello Kitty candy... The only English on the packages was Hello Kitty. I'm pretty sure Hello Kitty isn't American or British so why is it English? Why isn't it Japanese? Totally confusing. And why doesn't the Hello Kitty have a mouth?
Can you tell I'm kind of done for the day? And do you know what I'm having for dinner?
