well i finally found the cutting boards at my current place of residence. but this past couple of weeks i have made two purchases which i have determined are essential for a kitchen of mine.
-non-stick fry pan
i purchased an exceptionally cheap one at wal-mart for $5. i didn't find a fry pan at the place i am staying. there was a large cast iron skillet but i am not prepared to try my cooking skills with such a monster. it would take forever to heat and probably require a lot of fat to keep my fried egg from sticking.
-rice cooker
i've made rice twice since getting here. both times i burnt my rice to the bottom of the pot and had to scrub it for a while to get it clean. so i broke down and got a rice maker at target for $15. now hopefully i won't have to scrub for extended periods after cooking rice and i can cook it unattended. i hate having to wait for rice to cook on the stove: i'm not supposed to lift the lid to see what it is up to but i shouldn't leave because the water might boil over since the stove is less than precise in its flaming.

you are your mother's daughter....i can not count the number of burn pan bottoms because i was not patient enough to watch and tend the pot!
Hmmmm. I love my cast iron skillets. I use them often and they don't take a lot of oil or butter unless you want a lot. I think the secret is to cure them correctly when you buy them. Then after you use them, wash right away by hand and dry. I put them on a burner and heat them dry. Then spray pam on them and put them away. The only time I burn anything in them is when I get sidetracked from my cooking. [Its not the pan]
