There is nothing wrong with white rice or potatoes in moderation.
I am in complete agreement. I am a mediocre (at best) in the kitchen, and love the shortcut that potatoes and rice offer, so we were eating them too often, especially because we like them too.

If I could find a way to work around and find a healthy alternative, I'm interested.... :)

 Well I am furiously looking online for a link to the tune that my Zojirushi water heater plays when I push the timer button at night before I go to bed. It is a tune you would recognize but I don't know the name. I found one YouTube video with a song, but it is not the song that mine plays! Gah!

It goes like this:

dooo deee dooo dooo doooo
dooo dooo deee dooo
dooo deee dooo dooo dooo dooo dooo

So if you can figure that out then you are very clever!!!!

:rofl: :nyah:

I'm pretty sure that's the "Rice is done" song as well. I love funny little Japanese appliances.

And if store bought plain brown rice is your last choice, I am hoping I can get my hands on the jasmine or basmati style to try. With it being pretty mushy, and not great in flavor, it's a tough sell.

I think Mr. Corey wants to pursue the rice maker. I told him about asking you guys, and I mentioned the space issue. He wasn't concerned. I'll keep my eyes open on my next trip to Walmart. (I go there very rarely) It wouldn't be the last kitchen item I buy that may or may not end up just sitting around... :sigh:
I get my brown jasmine rice at Trader Joe's, and the brown basmati rice usually comes from the bulk section of a hippie store or Whole Foods. You can get them on Amazon, too. If your husband is anti-mush, the jasmine rice is probably your best bet.

Also, while I don't do it this way...some people swear by Cook's Illustrated's oven-baked brown rice recipe.

 We have a small Cuisinart rice cooker. Got it for a last minute 'husband' gift at christmas, now use it several times a week. It cooks way more than plain rice. like all those box/bag rice mixes and lots of other stuff.
Hated HATED cooking rice as neither of us were good at it, and usually screwed it up. Now love tossing in ingredients, punching the button and doing some thing else. Fun! To experiment... :psycho:
