Hot Breakfast

On Saturday Kevin and I joined J&K and Bowza for a walk through their local park, followed by a fun dinner out. Kevin and I had a couple of small baby gifts to give them, and they gave us a wedding present! We were very excited to open our brand new stainless steel Cuisinart rice cooker! Kevin and I eat brown rice a few nights a week, and I have always struggled with getting it to a good consistency. This rice cooker can steam vegetables while the rice cooks, or steam fish or poultry. On Sunday I opened the box and found a booklet of some recipe ideas. I was very excited to find a recipe for cinnamon oatmeal! Being the easily excited, and impatient person I am- I left Kevin at home and ran to Trader Joe's for dried apple rings, and oats. I set the cooker last night, filling it with oats, cinnamon, a little salt, and the apple rings that I cut up. This morning I added the water and 15 minutes later I had a huge pot of delicious steaming oatmeal. I can't wait to eat my homemade apple cinnamon oatmeal every morning. Thanks J&K!

Sunday was also a very important day for Kevin and I. Kevin sold his car! I posted the car on Craigslist on Friday afternoon, and by Saturday evening we had received calls from 8 interested buyers. Our first interested buyer to look at the car bought it! It was so great, and other than Kevin's final week of work we are totally ready to move, the car was the only thing holding us back! Now I need to go clean my oven- blech.
