I was thinking about how I missed having an indoor thermometer that measures humidity. It’s such a small specific thing, one I’d never think of getting unless pushed to it (which I was by one particularly dry winter). But I like having one now.

What are your small, “random” or “junk drawer” type of gadgets that you actually use or like having around?

    Had a rice cooker in my kitchen for years because my brother brought it. Never really made use of it until I got my second dog because it became super cost effective to make their food, and a big part of it is brown rice.

        1/4 lb of ground lean turkey

        1/2 cup mixed veggies

        1/2 cup brown rice

        1 tablespoon of high quality finishing olive oil

        It’s basically a shepherds pie with no potatoes, seasoning or gravy (though you could make a gravy for it if you wanted to take the time).

      I got a Zojirushi at the thrift store and I love it, but then I realized that the pot has a nonstick coating inside, and there doesn’t seem to be a replacement that doesn’t have nonstick. No more rice cooker for me. :(
