He was such a damn great stir-fryer. Legend.

I tried to learn from the master, but I am a novice still.

I can't believe it's been over six months since he died! But good for you for making the rice cooker your bitch. Eric would be happy and proud that you have and that you're eating some veggies.

He would be proud. Though not of all the candy and donuts that typically come before the veggies...

Did Eric ever read the Roger Ebert guide to using a rice cooker? He took his to Cannes and everywhere and used it to cook multi-course meals.

Now that you mention it, I do remember Eric reading an Ebert book about a rice cooker. I think it was a cookbook?

Combination cookbook-lifestyle essay. Go watch a notable new movie, then back to your hotel suite where the rice cooker sits steaming in the corner.

My food proclivities are shockingly like yours. If Richard didn't cook in our house, everyone would have starved or gone into a sugar coma long ago. It's probably a good thing we were never roommates. Our friends would have found us in a pile of donut and other assorted crumbs. No rice cooker in sight!

So glad you are using the rice cooker. I know Eric is proud. Consider me inspired.
