Have you ever wanted to go back in time and slap yourself for something? That's how I feel these days.

Fat me wants to slap thin me!
My rice cooker
This goes under a growing list of things I lived without until I got one and now I can't live without. I can make great rice without it, provided I don't get distracted halfway through and burn it (sure it was only one time, but it's a source of Hispanic shame to botch rice!). It's just so easy! And it frees up valuable burner space. Mine even has a steamer attachment so I can steam veggies alone, or while the rice is cooking. Fabu!

Sofrito
1 whole garlic
1 green pepper
1 bunch of cilantro
1 yellow onion
Take each and puree/blend in a blender with a small amount of water. Pour into freezer ziploc bags in small amounts. Use in rice, chicken/rice, stew, beans, corn beef hash, etc.
(my mom's note) I make larger quantities of this (4 of each vegetable) and this makes about 13 ziploc baggies full.

Just what the world needs, another blogger!
I resisted blogging for a long time. I had nothing to say. Ok, anyone who knows me is rolling their eyes and chuckling. I always have something to say, but is it something people want to hear? Or even worse, is it something people will voluntarily read? I never limit my verbal deluge to one subject, something I thought a blog needed to do, address one subject. Some of my favorite blogs to read are ecclectic and I love it! It's what keeps them interesting, fresh, different. I like to think I have a different combination of ecclectic that will make this blog interesting. If not, then I've heard that journalling is very theraputic so I'll save money on therapy later down the line.
