I really like our rice cooker. It makes about 4 cups of rice and it works really well. Doug bought this for me quite a while ago and we've used it pretty regularly; he found it on clearance and I think he paid about $20. The only thing I would like to change is that it spits as the water and rice boil inside. I put a flexible cutting board under it for easier clean up. Also, it spits less if I use the steam basket on top when only making rice. The rice cooker cleans up quickly and easily; I've burned rice in it a couple times and it came right out. It comes with instructions, a measuring cup, steam basket, lid and a rice scooper. All you have to do is measure how much rice you want to cook, fill water to the appropriate line and flip the switch. It turns itself to "warm" when it's done. I don't think it has an auto shut-off though.

Matress and Bedroom Set
June 25th, 2008
First, thanks so much to Brian for helping Doug move the mattress! And thank you Bonnie for letting us steal him to help!
Okay, we've been sleeping on it for a few days now, but it took me a bit to get the pictures up. Doug built the frame for it today. We aren't going to use our headboard or footboard until we get a home. It's too much to take it all apart and move it. Here is a picture of our new mattress and what our bedroom furniture will look like when we get into a home.

Here is a picture of our new mattress and what our bedroom furniture will look like when we get into a home.The mattress is a Serta Torino Marquis - a brand specially made for RC Willey.
The furniture is made by Thornwood.
Update: We couldn't be happier with our mattress, it was fairly pricey though. My left shoulder and back get sore sometimes and I haven't had any discomfort while sleeping on this mattress. Also, not that we sleep on the mattress without the sheets and such, but it's got an very soft, velvety feel. It's a very hard mattress to move because it's a latex blend it folds in half like a taco very easily - and it's very heavy. If the mattress folds, it can cause the layer inside to shift, so be careful.
We've been in our house for a year now and the bedroom set is well made and looks great.
Television

Panasonic 50" Plasma Television
Update: This is a really nice TV; very user friendly too. It took me a little bit to get used to the remote signal - it seems to take a moment for the TV to actually change the channel. We still to have an entertainment center built in though.
